Gobbledygook Wind



the yellow drilled hole
deposits vinegared slime.
from its glue goop pond

colossus
twelve grey big toed
hothouse
breath god

carbon monoxide
sheets drown you.
oil spill duck
tanned by smog.

a Hanukah dreidel in a gyre
the ozone layers.
carapace smashed.
from gas tank fuel

drunkard
you fail your sobriety test.
uncoordinated
balance beam gymnastic

Hiroshima
the incapable exterminator
let the termites loose
eating the barbed wire fences
Little boy
your Fat Man explodes.

wind whispering gobbledygook
inhaling the cabinets
of Victoriana
like salt poisoning

suction aspiration
rattling in that grey box
keeper of keys
