The Guardians
of Armageddon
sit at a table
playing games,
Monopoly & chess,
even Battleship.
They drink beer and
nibble nacho chips,
emit toxic gases
from their asses,
and mow down
trees and men.

Joseph Farley edited Axe Factory for 24 years. His books /chapbooks include Suckers, For the Birds, Longing for the Mother Tongue, and Waltz of the Meatballs.

Thomas Cuschieri has a nagging feeling he left the gas on. When not drawing pictures with words he dabbles in mathematics and music. He likes cats, Chris Ware and Dinosaur Jr; dislikes coriander and writing about himself in the third person.
