Caustic Acrostic, by Fugazi

lights out

for the cynical sharps

for their wide-eyed foils

and all attendant props

supporters of flash and pan-friend fucks who

greast like cops throwing

round their body weight and

i feel dangerous and vexed

swinging two ton second guess

and every motion just cuts

too cruel too cruel

and the implication is that

you're implicated

like a caustic acrostic

spelling out your name

lights out cos i can

see in the dark

sidewind my way to the mark of

fuse lines gas-wet for a spark

i crash i burn

i've fuly lost it anyway

and you're lost it anyway

and you're nowhere

lights out loser
