    poetry - hymn to apollo

    spring is here.
    so watch out for apollo.
    no one fucks with apollo.
    if you are going to fuck with apollo,
    you need to get the fuck out.
    that is all I am saying here.
    motherfucker is an archer.
    motherfucker is an immortal god.
    motherfucker is dangerous.
    do not fuck with apollo.
    now get out there and get delphic.
