3 Son: Kabodlute
...Kabodlute was not an impressive guy,
Big head,
Clumpy feet,

Grass-filled; grass-less; some portions clam clownish;

Blows hot air in our faces.
My cap and gown insulates me
Baking me like a potato wrapped in aluminum foil
I desperately fan myself and look around

wrinkled raisins clustered in clumpy desert oatmeal.
