\t\t\t\tGraduation day has
\ncome and gone, a
\ngreasy blur preempted by
\nlong lines of ambivalence,
\nmeatless tacos of
\nintellectual ammunition
\nartificially bolstered headstrong by
\nwinter’s unexpected demise, the
\nseason’s revision out of
\npublic policy by means of
\nfreshly-sharpened swords,
\nenormous blades slashed forth and back by
\nkeepers of a
\nmostly mythical iris-thin firmament
\nfew contemplated for its
\nforceful reminder that
\ntraffic and weather produce
\nmore calm than
\ncritics and creators realize.<\/p>\n
Stable, formulaic songs inhabit
\njellyfish dreams this year,
\ndreams taking place in
\ncomplex Gehry structures
\nonce used as residences then
\nconverted to
\n1970s communal living spaces and
\nalcoholic beverage establishments.
\nRiots and pettiness rage gracefully,
\nunfunny jokes slipping into
\nintruded sleep rewarded with
\nriotous laughter that
\nfools fools into
\nperpetual chasing after
\nself-certified jargon,
\nskipping clumps of
\nunrecorded observation over
\ngrumbling waters of
\nturgid lakes whose
\neyes hasten to
\nblink at
\ncommercialized love.<\/p>\n
Back on holiday patrol I
\nspot an unobserved celebration of
\ncable television and
\nremote control devices that use
\nunusual rotary dial interfaces to
\nchange channels and
\npurchase products from
\n24-hour shopping channels.
\nThough slower than traditional means
\nrotaries nevertheless cause thousands of
\nfaithful but lucrative religious conversions
\nranging from subtleties of
\nwithholding selected confessions from female priests to
\nmassacring thousands of anesthetized infants with
\nmother’s stolen assault rifles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
