"Something From an Absolute Mushroom, With Only 59 Minutes Remaining"
Oh shit
Only 59 minutes left
And I've only just begun
to write...
So I'll walk to the door,
Vent the air,
And retreat into a withdrawn discharge
Of the wasteful and the weird...
Bizarre, they'll say,
Nothing like the glamorous imported
French fare,
Or the bulked-up hemo-smut-junk
That fascinates the young and nubile...
Pyramid.
Maybe a gradual build-up
To an enlarged domain
Hiding in the shadows
Of my wrist would be a more fitting exposition.
Damn.
That was demonstratively easy-
Out of my territory,
But plain to see in this wilderness.
Did you know that in some twisted way
Economic expansion is equated with Imperialism?
Ridiculous.
What junk.
But such conjecture I'll have to leave in suspense here,
I am rather looking for exile
In someone's expectancy,
Eager to please.
Oh, dear, where did you put the disposable diapers?
The bottom line is the involvement
Of senses and skills,
Judgments and know-how,
Actions and exposure to this jaunt into the eruption
of impractical verse that is
Diligently and effectively evicted
From recourse to gimmickry.
Nice words, but that last stanza probably lost 25.6% of the readers.
I’ll have to rewrite it later.
My motive here is just a notion of ill-pragmatism,
Un-properness, mis-rightness, ex-helpfulness,
and sub-propriety on a crusade, no, a trek, no, a safari
hunting the colorfully bizarre peculiar renditions
Of pioneering writers stampeding in a frenzied, ugly,
Uncontrollable circus at a writer’s fair.
But I expostulate with myself,
Acknowledging the betrayal of my stripped,
Peeled banana that is now unveiled, naked to the world,
Now a missile, now a raging rampant explicative
Against the wall.
What a mess.
Hmmm, I sense I've lost another 15.2% of the readers
Who just had a subliminal urge for a banana.
I look at my watch. Is this getting too long?
Damn. I'm just getting warmed up and I've already lost
25.6% + 15.2% = 40.8% of my readers.
And now 12.1% more who have an aversion to math.
The rest of you may stop reading now,
I am just doing this for my own edification...
Thank you for trying to make sense out of this,
And if you did,
All the credit goes to you
Because I am an absolute mushroom.
