He was insistent on proving the theory wrong
through demonstrations with diagrams
of naked stick people in provocative poses
and positioned himself as the wedge.
Cheese wedge to be exact and enter the zone.
Become the bait for the mouse and make it through
the endless maze.
All went well, he smiled like a Cheshire Cat.
Assumed Murphy's Law was not puncture proof;
found a hole in his answer to relativity.
In a matter of minutes, his pencil was erasing
circles also straight lines with long strokes
as smiles exorcised into frowns.
Pink eraser shavings fertilized his foundation,
covered the table, top also underneath,
between his toes.
He inhaled up his nose, hours of residual energy
from blueprints now neatly smeared
on the corners next to overlapping pot marks.
Culprit~ black coffee turned cold, a poltergeist
of redundant smoke rings
which evaporated his bachelor sandwich
now a brick block
with bologna plus cheese in a mating ball.
Oh speak of the ball, bad memories of holiday buffet
where the spread did not spread.
Ginsu silver blade struck a nerve
on every guest who starved while in wait
for the dehydrated turkey dinner
guaranteed by Butterball to be juicy.
[Bachelor's first attempt at fine dining]
Turkey company forgot to correct claim
and make mention of vampirism
once placed in the oven.
( Guests wondered why they signed disclaimer
upon door entrance also received fruit cake)
Could it get an worse?
Hell yes it could!
Angels argued, what could they do~
decided to bitch slap him back to reality;
obviously the wedgie did not produce results.
The oxygen indoors grew thick unlike the chia pet
that refused to sprout hair.
Simple directions became a bald spot
on his manly complex.
Pencil lead cracked under pressure, poked through
delicate layers of lined sheets;
it appeared hopeless.
Song on the 45, skipped across alignments
while My Immortal by Evanescence backfired
Requiem of a Dream.
Curse words wrote themselves on papyrus
with dozens of scrolls scrapped,
rolled up, ripped or set ablaze
after every stick person drawn
refused to represent with accuracy
the perfect bobblehead.
Silver trophy winner
