Iconoclast
by Jeff Santosuosso


I've been clasting
since before there were icons or clasts.

I first-classed them
laughing gassed them
put it past them
Conde nast and mizzenmast them
sauced and sassed them.
The die is cast them
first and last them.

I thumbed my nose at all of those icons
wet and dry cons
pie in the sky cons
do or die cons
easy as pie cons
gay straight and bi cons
on the fly cons
“Anchors Aweigh” Semper Fi cons
demand and supply cons
Pentax and Nikons.

I blasted, outcasted and outlasted them all.
I did.
