Subject: RE: I Am Not On The List (But If I Was, It Was For Conservation Purposes)
Dear Poe,
First of all. You may have heard some things. None of it is true. #fakenews people. I just want to get that out of the way. Lies. Smears. Deepfake swamp propaganda. That list? Never seen it. Doesn’t exist. If it did exist (which it doesn’t), I wouldn’t be on it. And if I were on it (which I’m not), it would be a different TACO. A totally different, much shorter TACO. Possibly an acronym. A hoax TACO. Possibly salsa-related. Don’t even like private islands.
Except the one I own. Which I don’t. But if I did, it would be for conservation purposes. Specifically: rehabilitating misunderstood reptiles and housing artisanal, small-batch prison colonies for bad vibes and moral decay.
I built it myself. With honour. And concrete. And a bulldozer named Nancy Grace.
But now they’re coming for me, Poe. “They” being the alphabet people. Not LGBTQ+—the other ones. The CIA. The FBI. The PTA. They’re slandering my name, trying to “unseal documents” and “hold people accountable.” Ridiculous! I am fabulously unaccountable. Made it that way BTW,
They say I “frequented” somewhere. I don’t even frequent my own soul, Poe. They want to cancel my whole timeline. Erase my legacy. Torch my statue before it’s even finished being gold-leafed.
Please advise:
Can I legally declare my entire island a floating church?
Is being “on the list” worse than being the list?
How many snakes do I need to qualify for religious asylum?
Is it technically grooming if the salon was underground and hypothetical?
I await your counsel. The saltwater is rising. My lawyers are trembling. The alligators have joined Threads.
Yours in deniable existence,

Dear TACO BELL END,
You is be Gaytor traitor…
Yes, I seens what you be do to the gays. Agains. I says it last times you writes me. I say ‘gen. It bad, Taco boy. Very bads. My mommys say whens something not be do rights. You says somethings. So I says somethings. Here. Mowgli be not quite straights. He little wonkys round the edgesis. I told him he shoulds comes out the closets but he says me, Poe ‘It be my closet, and I come outs if I wants to’ So I says OK. Nots of my bizinesses. Like I girl cat so ones less spicky penusis to be worrying about. Good, no? I think good. I still be carefuls of Rogit thoughs. He gots soiky dicks and he not ‘fraids to uses it. But that nother times stories.
Now yous TACO boy.
Right. So.
You “never heard of the list.”
You “don’t own the island.”
You “built the prison with honour.”
And you “named the bulldozer Nancy Grace.”
Sweetsalsa vehicles. This isn’t a confession. It’s be performance arts for fascists and rapists. You head be sicks and your shell be weaks.
You has questions for me (Poe) So I try answers them bestis I cans buts I suspects they’re not real questions at alls. More likes nervous mouth farts.
Can you legally declare your entire island a floating church?
Yes, but only if your god is Money and your holy text is a vague shell company. Which be mostly how churchesis dos it. In nutshell obviouslys. Bit more complicateds but mostly. I was there when they Trademarkedis Jesus. Create saviours. Calls him whites. Fool the minionsis. Like I don’t knows how they dos that bits though. He likes me. Black. Or maybes brown. Doesn’t matters. Nothings gonna makes me white. ‘Cept bleaches maybe. But then maybes I be more pinks. I don’t knows no mores. Anyways, makes rich quicks. You dones all this and mores. So you goods to go. I thinks. You has yous a religion worthys of religions. Officially money messiah. I don’t bow. But maybes I high paws you. Ironicallys of courses. Just sayings coz I knows you nots so goods with the nuancesis. Like Akeala. She bit tup tup too. Satires be deads and dumb fucksis killed shames. I (me Poe) was so goods at it too. Meh,
Is being “on the list” worse than being the list?
Depends. Are you laminated yet? If sos, you is be archival. Files you unders sex offenders nexts to Putin’s puppets. You can chooses. Maybes? TACO boy. Yous are the lists. You nasty. No matters how many times yous tells it yourself. It not be true. You rapists. And you evils. So sits withs it. You knows hows this works though, no? There is be ALWAYS mores than ones list. And yous on all of them. No matters how manys people ‘accidentally’ hangs themselves in prison cellsis. List is be list. And you ats top. I seen photos of yous and you rapey butt buddy. I seen it and I seen you pretendings you don’t even knows him. How yous gets in photos? How you gets in interviews with him. Yous be lying and evens the red hat brigades knows it. They rathers dies than admits it though. But they knows.
How many snakes do I need to qualify for religious asylum?
Justs stops. You not religiousis. You heathens. Big Heathens.
Is it technically grooming if the salon was underground and hypothetical?
No. Me (Poe) I haves nothings mores to says to yous. You dids bad things. No technicalitiesis gonna do be changes that.
Now listen.
You thought if you make lie big enoughs, loud enough, gilded enough, it woulds do be walks upright and testify in your place.
Buts you says there lists and you knows you theres. But nows big problems. Coz yousis there and maybes Clintons and alls you peoples you makes enemys. So now what you dos? HA! Checky matsis. You say it all lies. Maggots don’t gonna beleives you. Not this times. You can’t be says the democratsis half be trues but others half be lie. You shoot youself in the dicks bigs time. Poop!
The list don’t be do lie. You do.
List It only be waits.
And then it prints.
I seen it CTRL-P 123
So here be my ‘vices:
- Burns the statues before they do. Gold leaves be tacky anyways. Like tryings to out make ups on an oranges turd.
- Handcuffs yourself.
- Leave the gators out of this.
- And stop be callings yourself a martyrs. Martyrs bleeds for somethings. I seens Joan of Arcs. Well shes don’t be bleeds but its be metafors. No? You just sweats privileges and dollars.
Yours in unsettling omniscience,
Poe
