TWO POEMS photo

Sonnet with blood stains painted over in Sherwin Williams Atmospheric SW 6505, which Southern Living magazine has declared one of the “12 Prettiest Shades Of Haint Blue For Your Front Porch”
 

echonomies of scale and shadow turn 
from bleak to black a measure we appose
to lack of measure thus the measure’s close
in spectral flesh revenant in risk-return
echologies of contrafacta spurn
all vestal remnant implications pose
in measures of complicity foreclose
on counterfeited echoes fact as perne 
but allwhite right unvexed real people-pleaser
all poses decomposed into a skull 
that vaults opposes tongueless posed mit dieser
erborgten Sprache
discompose annul 
anneal proposal rend or unto Caesar 
still under warranty that wor(l)dly null
 

 

Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastinmotivatingoodbuzzincooltalkinhighwalkinfastlivinevergivincoolfizzin sonnet that melts in your mouth not in your hands, or, Love sonnet in which the products of the human brain appear as autonomous figures endowed with a life of their own, which enter into relations, both with each other and with the human race
 

all in or nothing have it your way no 
rule just right betcha can’t eat just one be
more be moved be there beanz meanz once you go
mac where’s the beef got milk technology 
with style because you’re worth a diamond is 
forever coke is it do what tastes right 
be all that you can be plop plop fizz fizz 
we love to see you smile the other white 
meat crackle pop you’re in good hands what’s in
your wallet it’s just made for you it’s my 
way takes a licking keeps on ticking in-
novation that now everyone can fly 
food folks and fun go further make a first 
impression get the door obey your thirst
