This is not a poem

The Bottom Line Having just married, adopted a dog, convinced each other that we were poets, my newlywed husband and I contrived this piece of crap in 98.

Spot the alternating lines from our reviews ...

riding on a wave of unwanted destiny
some free giveaway from the back of a cereal box

steaks shakes and pancakes
is what the sign said
eat all you can in exchange for a life of imprisonment

behind bars nobody smells your sweet cheap perfume
you dont care for the slab of meat set before you
yet....
you devour it whole in case of an act of god

with 7 inches of wisdom i am able to penetrate your mind
and all that surrounds it
dry heave your worried head
into a bowl of poison

yesterdays underwear becomes the toys of our pets
scented, chewed and cherished
scattered all over the gardens of hell
and tomorrow i will tread the minefield in search of meals recycled
vomit launched bombs

making a mockery of the world of creative writing
whistling happy tunes of torture
like hoops of fire in a wet climate
or dog breath on your pillow
on the morning of your first menstruation

ajs/eds 98
