Cumuli

Cumuli October 24, 2013 at 12:56pm The contents of my head empty into my stomach Where nonsense meets yesterday’s frozen Styrofoam spinach cheese pesto ravioli dinner And a mix of fake pepperoni pizza from lunch Chocolate topped pink and yellow striped butterscotch and vanilla flavored jelly beans In plasticized wrappers And fluorescent day-glow blue caffeinated high fructose sugar beverages In clear polyethylene terephthalate containers Pretty and poisonous pollutants ingested and partially digested We are what we eat and what we throw away And either way it all sinks to the lowest of places I had a lofty idea once and spelled out the word, “c u m u l u s”, in my alphabet soup “Cumuli” means, “heap”, or “pile”, in Latin Root for the word, “accumulate” This from a culture that also gives us the word, “vomitorium”, which I think appropriate So I then gulped down the cloud word of canned hydrogenated processed letters And chemically enhanced perfectly machine squared orange and green vegetables Submerged in a reddish brown sodium infused steaming bath I imagine my bowels are a colorful syrupy serpentine garbage train Of half eaten scrambled letters, eggs, saturated fats and other gastronomical delights Where some is vice versa absorbed To eventually feed my mind again with an endless supply of junk food sludge debris As the remainder rumbles off in an overlapping “S” shaped extrusion And or a foregone voluminous towering land fill conclusion Sometimes it’s all about voiding one hole and filling another
