what if Mary Poppins
crashed a different family
on western range
would that then change
the practice of that nanny?
what if that
umbrella’d gal
wafted down in Super Cal
with PABA spoons
and surfing tunes
in place of rhymes banal?
& what if Poppins
also dropped in
amid a brood of outlaws
would Billie’s Kid
contain his Id
with fragilistic chalk draws?
Could spoons of sweet
de-spur his feet
and expial his docious?
would banks keep bucks
and sweeps lose luck
if Poppins
were precocious?

Is Dewey•Dismal?
Did Briar•Lie?
about the lay
of future files?
was thicket sticky
like
Dewey’s
digits…
did Briar
lie-cense other
tickets?
the answer’s yes
resoundingly,
since Dewey failed
astoundingly,
a system so
confoundedly–
intricate and full
of sh*t
most everyone
avoided it,
>including<
wily
Briar Rabbit
& thus when
PC age was born,
that Dismal•Dew
was
pulled
from
drawers
–those narrow kind–
too long &
next,
Google You
rerouted
text.

My computer
printed out a note
–irregular font, and poorly aligned–
it told me
it was holding
my brain hostage
and demanded
I leave
unmarked digits
at PayPal,
a HotSpot,
& external
Ram Drive
for a quick getaway..
ha,
I fooled it,
I went right through Amazon.

it’s B.S.
for P.S.
corralling my day
I’m full-growed
& my load
of books
R a weight
the cool kids
in school sit
grouped in the quad
the stoners
& loners
in the parking lot
the jocks
& the soc’s
& the greasers
out back
the jocks run the bleachers
the greasers—the track
the geeks
practice Greek
& tease you in tones
& the band
lends a hand
with back-up trombone
the queue
to get food
is where I now stand
a-mid-point returned
to where it began
& my Freaky Friday
don’t know where I fit
with teachers
in lounge
or
Breakfast Club mix.

Introspective
day begins
looking glass
that’s deep within
microscope
to magnify
the passing day
to central
I
but what if
window
redirected
intensity
of light reflection?
opened up
to BreeZe & bEEz
could focus grow
would locus be–
outside-in
& faceted
a sparkling view
& glass-less
lens
would vista change?
would spirit grow?
dropping cloth
on inner show?
It’s hard to see
but maybe so.

no pain, no gain’s
a common phrase
& intimates
the trade-off pays
a tit for tat
in fair exchange
since tat for tits
is lingerie.
& GR8 tho
lace is
it can’t replace this
axiom enduring…
as hard-won ends
are better than
the given—
while assuring
you can
achieve
the things you please
with studied application
’cause fortitude’s
an
~attitude~
& basis of GR8•ation.
