the crux of it
is
flux
— sometimes up–
–sometimes sucks!
since chance to change
your lot
and luck,
requires
judgment,
plan,
and pluck..
to shift
can be
upsetting
but–
–rousing, too,
like dawn
or dusk.
thus view
that urge
to verge
as plus
~the best of times~
put trust in gut.

My rosary-colored glasses…
a focused, hocus-pocus
>knows for locus<
a lanyard of beads
(between temples)
on witch to count
the mysteries & the sorrows…
(ah, the sorrows!)
+ plus cross +
&
built-in spare nails, tho’
…
altogether
redeeming specs,
wouldn’t you say?

They grafted the go-to
right outta roses,
that petal-y perfume
to fill up the noses,
composing hue combos
& padding the posies,
’cause Nature was wanting
they must’a supposes
–to my view
no true coup—
just redefined focus.
They did it to veggies
grew greens grandioses,
they did it to barley
by changing composes,
‘turned beans into beanstalks
without fi-fie-fo’ses,
supplanted nutrition
for bottom line grosses
–to my mind,
not sublime—
just bad GMO’es.
Like CAFO,
>its feed corn<
and factory-farmed-fishes,
some breeds we don’t need
and border pernicious,
should not be, just ’cause we
find them delicious,
in all ways–I dare say
we’ve outgrown our britches,
–and flour’s
lost its power—
despite Nature’s wishes…

duck is dandy,
chicken fine,
turkey tasty,
~let’s combine~
the 3
–with dressing!
/ cuttin’ skills /
tho’ some might say
that’s overkill
Chicken Little,
Foghorn, too,
Daffy Duck
would all eschew–
this triple decker
>^^< like a cat >^^<
instead suggest
a nice Big Mac,
made from Clara-
-belle bovine!
(fact’ry farmed)
’til killin’ time,
ammonia-dipped
and added to
GMOs!
so good for you
wrapped like hearts
in extra phat
(the end result)
to eating that
stuffed as shirts
of corporate sellah’
–completely free–
of salmonella…

November 26, 2014 Comments Off on Alice who?
Not much to offer
I’m light in the coffer–
–but sakes! what a coif I affect…
an updo
~undone~
the bunny-est bun
with
/ tendrils /
to grace my longneck…
It mussed in the gust
(& needs to be brushed)
as a long trail I rushed–
–of white hare…
Consumed with the clockwork
(& random ad-hoc work)
that rabbits-that-talk work–
–can snare…
A clerk for the queen
(who’s light on Brylcreem)
to this end
~and my own~
I’m a runner–
–2 fête without map
(I don’t give a crap)
since rabbitty chap
is a wonder…

there’s always
the “person”
to call in a sitch’
the handiest fellow
that helps you to fix,
the dings
on your things
–your notches
and nicks–
a certified
expert
at overt
kibitz,
that mends
all the dents
& make sure
it fits…
But do-it-yourself
is there for the choosing,
since duck tape
is useful
& not that confusing,
a sticky
un-tricky
that
~rolls out~
reducing
the cost
of solutions
& pocketbook
rooting
preserving your ducats
& lessening
looting…
