Paul Peterson

"coins pour from hell’s own slot machine into the lap of the world"

"Put all your goals in a box and burn that box."

"I live atop a smoldering volcano, / always rumbling and threatening to erupt."

"Though we dream of dying at our curtain, / most are carried off mid-speech / or awaiting cue"

“My bread’s in need of / blessing; salt the theft.”
