A POEM WRITTEN BY A LOON

February 6, 2016

once upon a time ago and yet on bended knee

30 million artichokes sailed across the sea

to visit with a clavichord in 1963

and lo upon arriving they were driven to a mall

and stacked in stacks of twenty to make a lengthy wall

the clavichord remained aloof secluded in its hall

an open pie was singing

a pair of bells were ringing

birds on high were winging

and nowhere was the misery undone

alas

FANWORTH’S DREAM

January 31, 2016

Fanworth’s dream was to be delicately placed in a mental institution and there to be tended by a modest number of dead-eyed strangers. To this end, wearing fiercely orange tights, he drenched himself head to toe in butter fat and sang nonsense in falsetto outside City Hall. Sure enough, he was removed from the scene and deposited for observation in Specific Hospital. He suffered only minimal damage in transit. After his broken limbs and wounds had been ignored, by and by he was sent on a garbage scow to the State Depository for the Terminally Confused. There he was gifted with a padded private cell and a box of bran. He settled in, content, his dream fulfilled.
