digging in the dirt


Syzygy is a pie,
A recurring clichΓ©
Uberladen in bees
On a polarized
Grevillea tree.


On a moped wearing
Flippant plaid finches
The gardener,
Double-O’d and
Licensed to prune,


Arrives Munck-like
After his sabotaged
Weiner mobile
Careers off snapdragons
And cameramen in
An HGTV debacle.


Now, jumping through hoops
We wear a false mask,
Twitching eyebrows
Going postal over
Banana enhanced molars,
The sodium pentothol
Extending shorthand,
Overexuberant curvatures,
I’s skull-dotted and
Rotting under the fescue;


Give us pornographic
Cross fertilization,
Hi-def stamens--
Pixilated,
Slathered in a
Pollen froth--
Seasons time lapsing
To obscurity.

Awaken, assistant Polarity Adjunct;
Wake now and dispel
Your antithesis potion--

these petals are drooping
While culinary muses speculate
The meaning of thyme.

The vision of banana enhanced molars has discombobulated me entirely.

@Megan; I could use one of those molars right about now( sans the banana ). Got a nice break to one; ouch!

Tom, if only HGTV had an episode like that! Hey wait....

Tom said...

HGTV presents...
The Gardener!

In episode 1 The Gardener divides Ty Pendington.

'divides' is a gardening term...get it, get it?

ha ha.

License to prune? Oh yeah.

I like watching the jungle of, say, a lavender bush, with bees and butterflies weaving in and out of the stalks. It's like its own world.

Would be so cool to recite your poem while looking at the busy lavendeer forest. YES.

Brilliant! Hi-def stamens - phew!
