The Three-Toed Sloth
Even when
refurbished
to incorporate
beautiful en-
suites or worn
with denim
for a smart
casual style
property derived
from things from
nature is a step
back in time.
The Bull Moose Convention
at Chicago is the successful result of the praxis of a fused group, unlike the states of antiquity & the great tangle of Marxist thought. It is a complex & powerful reiteration construct, its symbols fashioned from a bicycle seat & a set of corroded handle-bars with minimalist turn signals, its own words of power based upon the repetition of a handful of major triads, its rituals aligned with the cycles of withdrawal & return in morphine-dependent mice.
Seeking meaningful employment
The meatless meal was
really professional &
serious, a combination
of heuristic procedures,
anything but boring. The
dislike was the algorithm
it produced, a nested
while-loop which included
three inner loops, crispy on
the outside, soggy within.
Tax credit for home buyers
We’re always getting lack-
luster troubadours. What I
want is an offensive magician
who can, by exploiting
luminescence spectroscopy,
turn late afternoon tea &
scone parties into a world
tour by Gogol Bordello.
A Mammoth Task
Obsessed as they are
about big hats &
big heads, most
consumers have a
difficult time over-
coming their reluctance
to stop the world from
moving into warmer
climatic conditions. They
want to know how
much it would cost, &
would they get a Dog
Bone Charm or other
keepsake if they
ordered now. By the
halfway answering
point their interest has
shifted anyway to what
funk-punk-thrash-ska
shows are coming up
& would the discovery
of ancient elephant
skeletons randomize
women as well as men.
They conveniently forget
that each one of us, in our
place & time, is in balance
with everything else &
we don’t need to do any-
thing alone any more. That’s
why they consider it
inappropriate to speak ill
of the dead, & why today
feels like a milkshake day.
Wonderful variety of forms, love the use of enjambment, white space and prose poetic flair which would make surrealist and french traditions proud. Excellent vocabulary and unique usages, poetry and writing of highest caliber, well done!
Wonderful work, as always. I wonder what would happen if the Bull Moose Convention and he Anarchist Convention happened at the same time in the same building….wailing for the poem Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Aluminum Hat!
Mark,
Powerful!!!
