Are You Still Up For Down?

By Joe Dickinson

 

 

Two-ply, it’s amazing,

            I called a fairy godmother

But she’d.

            Holy!

                        Where have you been?

            It’s like a cyclone!  Only I’ve

            Never seen a trash bag.

 

Left-handed, or was it

            Circle pup?  With a cherry

                        On

                        Bottom.  Boo!

Like a candle

            I am frozen

                        On fire.

 

Earthly delight, fair senator,

            Try the mushrooms!  They’re made of

                        Honey poison!

                                    (or “hoyp” for short)

 

I am sorry, I was unawares.

            I will research for you…in

                        The depths of hell!

                                    Aka the soil!

 

You don’t know me!

Hey!  How are you!

 

Make good on your promise or

You are a fake

And fakes get

Tarred plus given gifts.

 

Hesitant.  My alter ego’s name.

            (Or cyclone #6/7)

 

I can hear the tuba,

            Tuba, tuba,

            Burn tuba,

            Become smoke

                        And rise into the outer layers

                        Of our atmosphere

                        So only

                        Little particles can hear you.

                                    You

                                    Will

                                    Kill

                                    Them.

            And we will die as a result.

            Nice, tuba.  Way to blow

            Me

            Out of the water!

            Or existence!

            You’re silly!

            Like a snake

            That swings

            And then persuades you

            To bite into the sacred orange;

            Screw the apple,

            It’ll cause dry mouth.
