THE WINDOWS OF MY POPCORN TUMBLEWEEDS a satirical poem by Mzuri I am a pillow filled with concrete and broken glass my teeth have soulful eyes and when I eat the airplane I see your inner beginnings tempted frazzled and burnt rocky Rice-A-Roni The ocean tree is dancing swirling around a can of Chicken of the Flowers fantastical multi-colored hard-boiled cabbage toothpicks with peanut butter soldiers drive me away I am the jellyfish god chrome spinner rims in my heart the popcorn of my ankles dances thru the corn rows of his futile boondocks cinnamon thoughts cloud my tangerine optics Smack dab in the middle of the void of the desert tumbleweeds and stickerbushes blow thru the empty spaces of my cradling sofa baskets mushrooms topped with creamy black whipped cream My eyes taste your glowing candle light doorways my teeth see the fire of the edge of mass absurdity Ghana Barbie hates being beautiful and the still water hears the laughter of my macaroni and cheese

This poem engrosses and amuses. Reading it is like meandering through a maze of nonsense. It's like a verbal LSD trip. You got skills, Mzuri. |
