Salvador Dali is not my doppelganger
but his ancient elephant may be—
stilted legs to hold a
hefty weight of
primordial-pyramidal centuries upon my
back
or perhaps his infamous lobster phone...
instead of a receiver upon the cradle
an old dead lobster
“what do you want? you must excuse me, I am a little
crabby today.”
but in their absurdity, they are perfectly paired
why a receiver
why not a revolver, chocolate bar
all things are meaningless until we are on the scene
with these words spattered on the page in a seemingly
orderly prose that resemble some semblance of
meaning...
cod runs under scotch tape toward brownies of sally’s
christmas trout
snow burns yellow cucumbers in chunky delight
Lennon was the walrus
I am the lobster.
