Abstract Expressionism

he chortled he chortled
I thwarted his laughter
my timing my timing
some kind of disaster

Cacophony bologna licorice lettuce
arugula spinach tatertot
worst salad ever.

the volume says “You deserve forever”
whatever! where’s my sweater?
it’s yogurt. Forget it.
otter pops you know which one?
sir isaac lime, alexander the grape
the plastic sticky, the dew drops wrinkled
the haziness clerical
the timing terrible
the anger laughable
the chortle I ridicule
suffocating the comical

so what if the paperclips
fell from the table
the dust, the litter, the crust, the glitter
get the broom the broom clean up this room--
paperclip the ice cream
in seven divisions
choices to make
nuts to roast, fishes to bake,
sixteen incisions in fifteen cakes
the party, the uproar, the drawers, don’t look--
Unmentionables? Be quiet.
decency                Would you believe he said that to me
right back after this break

The photos are drying for ten thousand years
negative retrieval singing and meanwhile my ears ringing
the paperclips
still

ice cream dew drops plastic musical
forensic romaine brassieres channels whales
channel bales of hay channels what’s in the clay channels
 candy coated fennel seed glass shattered on
clementine sea salt commotion floor
