the only form of smut
the boogieman of
a similar category
there is little evidence
that these actually exist
the anonymity of cyberspace
lives-and-lets-live

this awful thing
its logical extreme
in several senses
be careful what you wish for
in a secret journal
terrifying scenarios
already in trouble
with the police
got ten years in jail

however grotesque
the reptilian tone
it's already cliché

many great works of definition
both a horror-show
and a masterpiece
legally speaking
what is the difference?

the central issue
the after-effects of columbine
an official reign of terror
a twisted sense of humor
their orwellian experiment
serves no therapeutic purpose

that's a shame
because journalistic accounts
suggests that writers
tell it to the jury
