SUFI SANDWICH

SUFI SANDWICH

cream propellers
mayonnaise manicure
the luncheon was spread around the park
the deer
danced
venison turbines
Chutney-by-the-sea

bobbing on the surrealist sea
i turned to Captain Cocksure
he was still half blind
and the parrot on his head
was reciting poesie
"Have no fear Selfish
before very long
the butterscotch waves and the
horseradish foam
will be part of a greater
future,
'til then
we must picnic with evil
and share an aperitif with living ghosts"

i was comforted as only an old grenadier can
be comforted
i tossed yellow yesterday
into the salad
and caroused with a cucumber

spaghetti lathes
grape juice batteries
luncheon
by the right-to-buy shed
someone accidentally
split an atom in half
so for the rest of the night
we reluctantly contemplated
a half-formed
universe
