three spell(ing)s


wouldn’t that be a right humiliation

after ‘Mind-Boy Problem’ by Larry McIntosh McMyler

1 brainscan

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
if you (have) a blue brain: you are a boy
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
if you (have) a pink red brain: you are a girl
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
(our) evidence suggests: ‘purple’ is a bad & ugly colour
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

2 testresults

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
a cursory glance revealed: some patterns
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
it is (our) belief that: you (have) lots of lovely neurons
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
you’re a superstar: & you’re so smart
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

3 furtheranalysis

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
after peeking inside: (your) cranium
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
we found: (un)cooked saveloys & red liquid
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
this is consistent w/: all (our) other research participants
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

4 finalconclusions

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
everyone (has) a pink red brain: ∴ everyone is a girl
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
& what’s more: you do not (have) synaesthesia at all
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
the colours ‘red’ & ‘blue’ are correspondent w/
the sensations of ‘hot’ & ‘cold’: “

[i] [(have)] no evidence just a feeling”
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 


excusesexcuses

when from a cautionary straddle onto
onto anchor helium drunk & dragging
& fails the (re)conciliatory set of incumbent excuses

at first it{self} at present torment
chant scarlet democratic rash we think it
& we think it of our{selves} we think about herd & watch(.)

(is) it (is) cool at different times–– the haste remarks
a not (un)fortunate set of beliefs:
altogether we lecture 'melting pot' & separately retire

then the election day then the kitchen
even if you (have) a comfortable lounge
everyone congregates in the kitchen

this is a party:
costumes(!)

bad granny smith

after ‘Wild Women Don’t Have the Blues’ by Ida Cox
for bad apple

smoking dope & watching clouds
she winks & woos the local crowd

(her) pearly whites & crisping bite
she loves (her) loves all day & night

she's the freshest apple bong
carved-out granny nothing wrong

take note of (her) granny-style:
change your ways, get real wild

she keeps (her) garden growing green
she keeps (her) garden growing green

she keeps (her) garden growing green
she keeps (her) garden growing green
