Inconveniences Rightly Considered

I. The Magazine

  We will not breech Pieta,

  we will not touch Mike's stone

  cold face,

  still he simply lays a still

  shot from a film

  called Wall-E

  I saw it there

  in the picture,

  when my friend Doug

  nudged my shoulder

  "look" and pointed

  at the next offering in the coffin:

  One white Madonna bot

  holds the disassembled form

  no disassemble

  no disassemble

  no disassemble

  of an simple builder bot,

  yellowed.

  Then, leaving the poster there,

  he kisses Mary on the cheek.

  "Thank you, Michelangelo,"

  she weeps.

  III. Conversatio

  Fine.

  I. The Magazine

  Dream, dream, oh lucid dream of day

  daydream

  this magazine's the scene:

  III. Conversatio

  That night all the

  do don't do

  cracked Austin's will

  he's high

  II. The Meal

  (why do they call it Hi-

  C when it's on the bottom shelf?)
