31 flavors
–like 26 letters
just isn’t enough
32’s better
a sure bet
it’s phatter
it makes the
gut flatter!
a cause
and effect
that’s due
to its batter
like swiss cheese
it’s holy
like whiskey
it’s smoky
its tater tot
topping
tastes like gnocchi!
it’s shot through with glitter
and scoops of grey matter
on ninety-ninth purchase
you’ll meet the Mad Hatter
–to wonka the way
through factories of mind
emerging or not
as 33rd kind…

Nightie-Night

when it’s time to repose
do you sleep without clothes?
is your doze
one of those
with your bits all exposed?
in the buff
in the raw
so everything shows?
–minus cap
–missing socks
from your tops to your toes?
your torso
disclosed…
your legs
without hose…
your knobbies
your floppies
your knees
and elbows?
who knows
how it goes
when your engine slows
if you’re too hot to handle
or frozen in robes…
Nun of this…Nun of that

Al’s exiled
to desert aisles
K’s Halls will Bard no slur
and Nick the Teen
has split the scene
to grind a smokin’ Twerk
See, Margarita’s
beaten feet
–for jeers Maria stays–
with buddy Jauna
those hot chicanas
anglicized their names…

The very nature of
Internet “friendship”
is 2-faced
now int it
iThink the term
frenemy
was coined therefrom,
z’matter of fact but–
–hold up a sec’…
…
Yep. Yep.
Wikipedia says so,
and in Wikipedia we trust.
Genuine communication
is unedited
unapplauded
& possibly unmonitored
didja ever google
think?
…
‘think maybe we are all catfish?
Not one of us
a starving child loading
a less fortunate dot org,
but catfish?
Not one of us
artist but sketch?
Not one of us
“of the flesh” people
but Pod people?
you know–pod people?
(soilent green)
Bottomfeeders and
suckers abound so it’s
a good thing spiders eat fish–
–hold up a sess’…

…..whatwasijust–shit!
*sound of
webbed footfalls;
chair pulled out,
cushion whooping it up*
click-click
…
Yep. Yep.
Wikipedia says so,
and in Wikipedia we trust.
but as the ladder fish
