Angsty Modern Poem

Spaghetti train tracks, melting my gazebo mother

WHY WON’T MARY PHONE THE DENTIST?

Do zoophiles read Cosmo?
My Spanish anteater spoke in riddles

ANGUISH OF THE MIDGETS CRIES OUT FOR NEVERMORE

Spiraling, jiggling, macadamia
Troubled memories of cardboard

Haunted by misbegotten psoriasis, I climb the ladder into Alfred’s Trout Farm

WHY WON’T MARY FAX ME HER DENTAL RECORDS?

Give a man an umbrella and he’ll beat a Swedish Milkman senseless

Oh, how my fingernails taste of guacamole
Angst, regret, penile clamping
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never
Okay, maybe sometimes on Tuesdays

Diligence forgotten in quivering spatula

TELL ME WHY MARY HASN’T BRUSHED MY TEETH WITH AN AARDVARK

TREVOR, GIVE AUNTY BACK HER MASCARA
