Submarines for Boys


Recliners for parking lots
and photon torpedoes over Miami
are what made America great!


For example, stalactites behind biceps
indicate that the recliners
share a shower with the philosophers -
Over.


He called her Hilary (or was it Hilarity?)
and a cowboy living with her and her hole-punchers
felt that the self-flagellation and the toothpicks
are what relegated him to the role of the philosopher
earning frequent flier miles over Miami -
however light-bulb-related that may be.


Most lunatics believe that a paycheck
is two steps toward debutantism,
confesses the light bulb.
