Connections Poem #1165

 Ants at the base of my skull, perusing

Percussion instruments and fruit baskets,

Under the blanket of Remorse, choosing

Snap peas over pickles.  My fresh mask gets

 

Blown by the Breeze of Bartleby, obscured

By Jude and Thomas, Foot in Mouth disease.

It’s a cinch to hide in Mister Deasy’s

Office with Epps Cocoa (though quite absurd).

 

“Let’s take this picnic elsewhere!” says the ant.

“Maybe to Mexico, or Khoreo,

Seoul!” … And Peterson will soon recant

His biased statements on old Borneo.

 

My blanket is spinning, I’m choosing well.

Like Bartleby, I’m gentle when I sell.
