Dinner Dress

 
I pretended my face

. . .

greased up & good to go, i

arranged my shoulders geometrically

. . .

more T-bone than

x intersecting y,

i

dressed before 10

and solid 9

(from afar)

i

gave it the ole GED try

. . .

eraser obsolete

those first bubbled-in answers

popped!

(evened so)

lead not going out

but staying in,

i

smashed joke butts

into bins too small

to fit

. . .

warming extra stock

to make

sophomoric soup

. . .

a complement for

Nevermore pie wedge

i

chewed and snapped like

bubbled gum

–to answer

that plate

(that didn’t ask)

–but also overflowed.
