Spelling does Matter

sexy girl
 
An erratic dancer

she danced sexy

some of the time…
 
 
 
 
tattooed bruises to cover up

wounds,

and felt more attractive

dressed down…

a stuffed little chick spinning

polls in her favor,

sh*t howdy–

after sowing his wild oats,

Quaker joined up with

Jemima & Buttersworth

–cereal killers, they, but what did he care?

Pease porridge

cold—he was caKed

–part of an entirely different

kind of Breakfast Club, now,

–an’a kinda sandwich, at that—

the 3 got their egg on

in 2–

ergo Eggo, an’

all to the good,

(the Quakin’ bacon thing)

since this club had that

sausage party

to contend with

–the one Jimmy

staged every

day of

every year,

a virtual impossibility to miss

Steeped in

flagrante

and custom,

staged in banqu’t

starting

a midsummer

afternoon until

dusk,

she invited me to hyperbole

….

a place without motif

presented petit 4’s

meant to be 8,

scones w

jams & dream,

and the traditional, time-honored

hero

–sandwiched

in unencumbered linens

on silvered tray

–tiered

in

round–

requesting guests

RSVP.

wear elaborate

baseball hats

festooned with flowers,

& broach,

but leave them

since,

as expected—

it was a barefoot affair

at heart.

In Lulu’s halls,

you hear hymn—

Carol, too,

and if you

Hearse song–

and good!

God—if I were you,

I’d

say

halo.
