poem # 2822.9g

THE CMMDR HAS SWALLOWED A RAT

Remove the smart phones, trash the iPads;

Cancel the mail, extinguish all texts.

Hope is a gateway drug: don’t do it.

The bowels of Burbank offer up

This grisly sight:

The Cmmdr has swallowed a rat.

Hollywood proffers this oily eyed yellow furred gift

for services rendered.

He stands now a beneficiary

(here in the dusk sweet street)

of a rodent,

full of so much sad wonder.
