Old Willie liked her well enough
initially
thinking a coupla’ characters
like she & he
would make a fine monogram
(etc.)
unaware
Wanda
(The Fish)
would insist on a hyphenated
sir·name.
WTF.

Her personality was like
a very old
(and improperly corked)
champagne,
a little carbon-dated,
and she wasn’t the happiest of campers, either.
way too: pinkie extended
pre·Tent·ious,
and glue·me,
I was nevertheless
stuck on her.

the Log•in my I

eye made a mistake, eye fixed
my spectacle
(s)
my Shade
(s)
my 3D vision
(s)
seeking to replace the write eye
that was log-jammed, and irksomely would•he
with rat pack finesse.
~the left I established long ago~
exchanging shattered glass
(still)
kaleidoscope colorful
& loupes
(still)
daring & dizzying
& faceted view
(still)
reflecting the million seen
(s)
for unsplintered lenses…
dangerously flimsy, but there were no contacts
fitting horn rims with
double convex,
rhinestone detail,
& tortoise shell
plus choke-chain lanyard,
& while this fresh outlook
is ordered…
or· gone ·eyes
is glaring in magnified detail…
is stylish, mirrored, & polarized…
like a blind man’s
is bi, tri, and my focal
exclusively
it’s shuttered my
3rd eye
in Coke bottle
goggles,
safe, but pointless
and
eye
can no longer
see.

Holy Hitching Post, Batman!

the Penguin
married Poppins–
–and Batman: Dracula,
the one was due,
2 shaded views,
the other
—maculas–
impaired by light
the Darkest Knight
went bats for pointed tooth…
Wonder Boy
went on to wed
–his Bread–
and what a wedding!
until the toast,
when guests disposed,
of bride with tasteless spreading…
(no big surprise)
since super-size
of bride begat baguetting
Mr. Freeze
dug
feline sleaze,
–the woman known as Cat
but pose she struck
was frozen stuck
when ice-man dropped to knees,
a sculpture that–
–graced punch bowl at
the rites of fellow thieves…
the Ridd’lah next,
wrote witty text
for vows employed in lieu…
but lost his wife
who failed to cipher
words to say: “I do”…
no punchline sung,
from twisted tongue,
just teleprompted clues.
yes, Batman and
prime-time brigands
–had lives off TV set–
that packed a punch
¡KAZOW!
(and lunch)
though Joker’s still on deck.

if U like Piña coladas…
May 2, 2015 Comments Off on if U like Piña coladas…
If you order a double,
can it be single malt?
If you have one for the road,
Should it be Jack?
If you spill your ice-less drink
is it still neat?
If you’re a mean drunk,
is it ever Happy Hour?
If you stop in for a quick one after work,
can it be Sloe Gin?
If you die ordering a drink,
is that Last Call
…or Final Words…
Do dyslexic drunk drivers get IUDs
instead of DUIs?

she was my
five o’clock shadow
skippin’ skeet
6 of 1
and half-dozen of the
other
7 come eleven
and kee-razy
8
a solid 9
number 9, number 9, number 9
on the
EGBDF
scale
FACE it.
It balanced out…
weight! weight! weight!
(the power of 3’s)
there’s 1 or 2 things you might not know
(alphabetically speaking)
first—she didn’t believe in time
and
B,
she couldn’t tell it
(it heard, but didn’t really listen)
and
in summation,
only used clocks
as a verb.
