(law) I made bomb with wood.
Wouldn't have done it, but she
hated me so much.
(bmc) I sent off my prize
So lovingly constructed.
Then I shot my wad.
  Technology sucks
Except, of course, explosives.
They are really cool.
(law) I had a cabin
It is now a mobile home.
The planes are so loud.
(bmc) Bad mathematics,
A horrible regimen.
I like grisly fun.
(law) Mathematics good
Steve is not good at haiku
Brian is so bad.
  Qualifiers are
not necessary when
it is obvious.
(srs) Package delivered,
Scattered blood and body parts.
My theorem complete.
(law) I love to ride my
bicycle to mail cheerful
packages of gore.
(srs) Off to the outhouse
Chilly and damp in the dark
Time to kill again.
(law) Trees, Nature, wood, math,
girl, brother, manifesto,
bombs. it works for me
(srs) Mail bombs delivered
Manifesto is published
I'll bet she's impressed.
(law) Fair trial, no chance,
OJ thinks I'm guilty, too.
So what if I am?
(bmc) Excruciating,
An adolescent misfit.
I will show them all.
(law) Put spikes in old trees.
Save them from suburban homes.
No, do something else.
(bmc) The deer ate my crops.
I would like to blow them up.
I can't; it is wrong.
(law) Three point one four one five two.
PI reminds me of circles.
Return mail comes back?
(bmc) I hate Schoolhouse Rock.
Kids should never learn that stuff.
If they do, we'll die.
(srs) Me and my slide rule
Together in the cabin.
We're right. They're wrong. Bang.
  Spurned by a female.
Now build explosives and mail.
A manifesto.
  Familiar blue man
Bringing a package to you
It explodes. I laugh.
  A need to change things.
But how to do this alone?
Postal delivery.
(law) Prison not so bad.
Girl friend did not like me much.
Hollow tunnel rear.
(bmc) I finished a proof.
Shows that God does not exist.
But he likes my bombs.
(law) Hate Charles river,
Airline has bumped me again.
Plastique is answer.
(rjc) Package sent by geek,
With a fuse and some plastique
from cabin by creek.
  Some say I maintain
a psychopathic lifestyle.
Wood bombs make me smile.
  Montana was cold.
My butt will be very warmed
by large prisoner.
  Little bombs in mail
make Kaczinski go to jail.
He won't bomb again.
  Don't use U.P.S.
for explosives, Use U.S.
Postal Service, please.
(law) Wait for plans to gel.
She wouldn't go out last night.
Have you seen my bike?

Ted Pleads Guilty

(bmc) Kaczynski cops plea.
"Yes, your Honor, I did it."
Back to the Big House.
(srs) I pleaded guilty
Now I must sit here and rot
Where's my underwear?
(rjc) Ted won't hang today
although he did it, he'll stay
alive, but bent over.
  It is moving day.
Ted says, "Where is my chisel.".
Cellmate provides wood.
  Ted now looks like shit.
Three square meals a day may help.
Guaranteed for life.
(bmc) It's dull in prison.
I build nice things in the shop.
Can't get in mail room.
  I look at the sky.
Large, blue, clear, like Montana.
My cell: my cabin.
(rjc) In solitary,
seems like Montana, except
there is no plastique.
  Ted crafted wooden
bombs and he now will become
burly cellmate's wife.
  Ted writes another
manifesto in prison.
No one can read it.
  Lights out! The guard says.
Shit! Too late to read my mail.
Return to sender. Boom!
