Comes with Windbags

VW_bug_crashe

a crash

test dummy,

she noticed all

the new writes–

the Overture design

assembled primarily by

sinful nappers

OTJ

&

OT–

which fully loaded model came

with junk in the trunk

&

V-8

under the hood,

&

baggage racks, besides.

&

plenty of hindsight mirrors

>2<

a seasoned

dummy,

she nevertheless noticed

those Overture models never went

to showrooms,

anywhere.

Just

rolled write

into tried & true

Walls.

 

 

We’re Ships

steamer_ship

relation-ships

are no regatta

such parades

require lotta

boats on bays

I reference

–not a–

mob

but

dates,

in this sonata…

a ship of 2

say—me & you

exchanging

duties

thru & thru

no captain

serf

just 1 big crew

no warring

wor-ship

equal sloops

–since ships

that don’t keep balance right

will bumper bergs that hide in night

and likely sink

twixt

black

&

white.

Division Bells

Red_phone

I will not answer

ringing phones

–milestones

to tell me

someone’s born

or someone’s died

someone’s going thru hell–

see: I’ve gone

that route

I’ve talked that line

I’ve keened I’ve wailed I’ve wept

to what reprise

to what recourse

to what endured effect?

No, keep your phones

your

milling

stones…

–your drama far from me

then at Depart

I’ll have head start

on aching memory.

Beat Poet

drumroll

a woeful

wrote-ee

doling drums

fashioned

kit

of

hidden

puns

solos

sad

but

still

begun

and

ennui

saw

in

setting

sun

upon

apath

of

tedium

ma-laising

down

those

beats

on stage–

–that rueful

roadie

rocked

the

page.

Resolution Code

Diane Robiscoe was an exceptionally gifted artist

Jay went with Peggy

to MeMe’s big show

the spot

where

the hottest

of

dots-per-inch go

where graphics

by Vector

are just status quo

* not pixels *

> math’matics <

with measured ratio…

By following Bits of a Map

to her site

the Photoshopped duo

streamed Byte by Byte

compressing

their dressing

to lessen

the Drive

a modus

of loading

that coded

them light–

–since opening up

with remastered make-up–

fuzzed their Big Picture

but speeded their break-up

and since most attendees

were data

~with bling~

–A

mal–

–gam

un–

–mated

to beta new Pings…
