We received a King Cake at the office the other day
Part coffee cake, part cinnamon roll
Bathed in an icing of yellow, green and purple
A Mardi Gras rainbow
Inside the cake hides a small plastic baby
And depending on your view either marks the arrival of the three wise men or symbolizes luck and prosperity
But I have questions as always
How does the plastic not melt in the baking process?
How lucky can you consider yourself after biting into a plastic baby?
She was always losing things.
The eraser end of a pencil
floated in her nostril, it jiggled
when she sneezed, but she
could never find it.
Her keys were somewhere
in that purse that she left
in the taxi.
And the baby, where
was that baby?
The Soundtrack to My Life
Here comes your debaser man
to hang on your cross
in the Jesus Christ pose.
Don’t save it for later, just
hammer another nail in my heart.
It’s a wave of mutilation.
What a fucking lovely day
in a beautiful world.
You’re under pressure, Annie Hopparen.
get your gun, Remember,
distance equals rate times time.
Goodbye, Gemini girl,
go wild in the country.
Stand and deliver a swingin' safari.
You are a pixie
standing in a garden of sound,
drumming to an English beat.
Slayer of queens
A blazing arrow
You are Adam, bowing to the Garden of Eden.
In sweet soul limbo dancing with ants,
you are you
and you are music to my ears.
