Pound Pennies on the 101

Coming from a long line of Imps

given to Impulsive and often

mischievous

(archaic English for: f*cked up)

action,

she trans’morphed.

Trip-trip-tripping to bridge

with Billy

she accessed mad accounting know how

–and blood line, besides,

to Implement internal control—

(no gruff exacting)

and annotated history.

Re’versing procession without regression

–not even “uh”–

the calmtroll was nevertheless precise

X’s with O’s, and eyes on Tee, she disregarded

lookie-loos

(and their WC fascination)

goober gallery

(nut allergy)

and various background extras

(cardboard close up)

to discern the whole

of it

…

line driven

and suspenseful—

–Golden Gate suspenseful,

It was unfortunate

for Mary

that herd went missing

–on a little lam, they all went, as sheep do–

and this alone

helped Billy shine.
