I Want To Pack Your Items in a Box That Says ‘Eggs’

I Want To Pack Your Items in a Box That Says ‘Eggs’

 

I never thought about the fist

coming out of the tunnel before

 

the tunnel being

it’s sleeve

 

I never thought about

where turtles come from

 

I was just ecstatic that they could fly

that first time I watched Gamera

 

in the bathroom

at the local Walmart

someone in the bathroom

 

pissed tomato soup

 

Jabba The Hut loves Twinkies

 

King Kong might’ve loved

french fries

but instead

King Kong loved

 

Fay Wray

 

Expho-lee-ate this!

 

I’ve got the Pepto Bismo Blues

 

I can see through everything these days

and still I find everything baffling

 

our love hopped in a helicopter

but this helicopter’s not landing

and all the parachutes have been laced

with bee shit

 

 

and we all know

there’s nothing aerodynamic

about bee shit

 

so our love hit the ground

like a dump truck

 

and the ground took the punch

like the tunnel takes the train

when the train has no idea

where it’s going

or which thing to follow

 

because trains are for the most part

stupid creatures

and love leaves

 

tracks

like a hearse

in the snow
