Farrago

PhD thesis
steeped in baffling arcana
and fudge recipes

a comfy sofa
couldn’t sate his faineance
but sleeping pills could

The War on Terror
is more than merely zeitgeist
it’s a board game, too

many a person’s
life-changing bouleversement
was caused by Six Flags

I’m not mendacious
women dig my honesty
and my flying car

drunken best man speech
a pronunciamento
of distaste for peas

my new factotum
didn’t expect to be asked
to embalm my dad

I’m just eating lunch
if you find me so noisome
don’t come to IHOP

unsurprisingly
Steven’s “great panacea”
was made of feathers

you’re very quiet
for such an intrepid soul
is it all that gauze?
