Memories of Stupid Kids
Uh-oh!
Mary Jane and Lucy have spilled the sane puzzle
All over floor.
The pieces are dropped all over the place in a sea of clutter.
This will be “fun” to clean it up!
5
Deep golden brown fish on a paper plate,
Chased down with a sweet cocktail of fresh fruit juices and herbs
While they are covered in yellowing papers
Coated with words with each page.
They go riding through the heavy snow in a big
10
laundry basket;
Rows of snowmen of mashed potatoes
With peas for eyes
Along a finger painted landscape
Of spaghetti sauce and more mash potatoes.
15
Sticks rain down from the sky along the way
As an army of Japanese toys march through the mash.
Hello Kitty is their commanding officer.
She is dressed alluring as she marches along to Vivaldi while her
Junior officers play RPGs to power
20
Her big pink tank.
297 Heresy kisses invade the mash potatoes
While a parade of rainbow-coated fish conquer the tye-dye sky.
Andy Warhol, Van Helen, Door, and Skelanimals
Wait at a café in Hollywood
25
While a huge green IPod plays
Classic rock music like the
Violent Femmes, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix and the Clash.
The lyrics drown out reason at the volume of eleven:
“Her daddy was a bank robber, but he never hurt nobody.”
“London Calling, to the zombies of death,
Quit holding out and draw another breath!”
30
Hot air dances all around the stoned landscape while the smells of
Cigarette smoke and petrol
Swallow it whole.
There is so much more
That it would take forever to sort it all out.
35
They all scream out:
“Run, Rabbit, Run!”
To invisible, deaf ears.
This will be fun to sort out the pieces until morning!
