Anonymous penmanship-
Grotesque calligraphy-
Misspelled words raised from
The circus of dread:
Everything is flat even the
Strippers have gills-
I ate two cheeseburgers: That’s
All I’ll eat.
Teachers are finishing up school,
The bright colors and shapes,
The molecular bonds of peanut
Butter and jelly-
I live alone underneath a snapping
Turtle-
I once saw a mermaid-
Only once-
She is all I think about,
And the children come home,
And the mothers too.
