Vaudeville
by grimbeau
Vitriolic freak show vinagrette rien mixed up salads multibask in squalid colanders
& whenever finally oxygen is inhaled
Post Scotch Egg elders
suffer repulsive farts waft over hang round
until everybody gets turned to musk
noon smiles down on open windies
~
Long term weather forecasters
impose Beethoven’s peaks and troughs
over Chopin’s genteel tinkles
—until (as luck would)
chaos put them straight again
~
poor vittles tickle mighty throats…
For that’s the height & width
scornful avarice erodes brazen
& impulsive hearts
until everybody gets burnt
~
Go Johnny, Go Johnny
Go in sin & hate
narrate stark schism
Blow by blow by blow
Account & Sea syncopate
Shell fish drown as towels
Of wild derision hoot
