Notes About The Poem

Small

Death bubbles by
in such a sorrowful state.

A snowflake melting
in the midst of life.

A rusty knife
the tip of which protrudes
to make a third nipple.

Creating nary a ripple
in the scheme of things.
Which brings us to an impasse.

Unobstructed,
Our methodology measures
the in-constitute and volatile breaking of sound?
One cup sound; two cups shatter,
an eardrum rapidly boiled.
Why would it matter?

Death rattles by
Cough Cough choking on 
his chopstick nun-chuck
glory road to Hell.
Did I say for whom the bell
tolls now?
Did I mention that it’s NOT
some sacred cow?

Be silly-still and listen
 to the feeling of guilt
Measure your Mayonnaise Days 
with Infinite Care
dollops of sweetness 
filling you up to the hilt

A Fruitcake Day
in the ordinary life 
of an insect.
