"Poem" of the day #1

"Progression"

The must-have purchase of the year

Converts easily into a toaster or a bed

Well-received in savvy circles

You must strip out the gizzard and other viscera

Complete with personalized, airbrushed logo of your choice

Be specific about the order of events

A few of my favorite things

The antibiotics are having limited and diminishing effects

Some may yet survive the depopulation

The merger was planned for years to be the largest in history

In retrospect, public opinion did not conform to reality

A face above the dais commands, scowling

Hunched columns, distant gunshots

Deep orange sunset

Fade out


Your humble blogger has been scribbling words of varying degrees of coherence in countless spiral-bound notebooks for many years. This is one small sample of them.
