Jigsaw Hubbub 3

 

 

                      I am crouching  

                among             paintings

            at knee                     level that

          hope to                         grow. (Not

        electron                               ically fed.)

         Swaddled                       in estimated             

            force. Trickle             or treatise?

              Water aflame?      Thus far,                                           

                  cranny vistas. Watch,

             as you leave       the gap, for

        low  planes.                  The bluebird                                                       

     has a  cruel                            sunburn, cannot                                                            

   model today.                                  They put a jacket

 on her, & her                                               arms couldn’t

fit the tuxedo.                                                     Can  you  fault

her  for grab                                                          bing some limbo

 freshener? But                                                      it’s too much to

  ask a  moon to                                                    drop a rope lad

   der. Your  monocle                                         is  laced with the

     grief of one who fishes                          only for the sublime.

        Aside from paying our                  own way through what

          ever forest entails the grid,      we are responsible for

                 having  fun—perhaps the kind  that smarts.

                      Plaid neighborhood.

                  I don’t                have pants.

              By the                                way, I

          look like                                      shit  in

        a costume.                                       We got

          ours at                                          Dead,                              

             Death, &                              Beyond.                       

                Guess who           was supposed 

                         to be captain? Grace

                   is  pudgy.                She’s not a

              model;                                      she paid 

      them. My                                                   genes are

  sticking  to                                                          me. Tyranny

of the  tacit                                                                  decree? She

lost around                                                                           20,  & I

 shed about 4.                                                               Cadaverous

    aspiration.                                                            Moral enemas

       should be                                                  inexpensive when

          administered early.                         We’ll do anything for

             credit. All right, thanks:         I might go shopping.
