Lawrence
Welk Concert
I
am feeling all the love on Earth and under Heaven
as
I tenderly wrap your present in beautiful paper
chosen
especially for you
Like
a velociraptor you lacerate the multicolored foil wrapping
and
instantly you glower a sad deranged disappointment
like
an hipster at a Lawrence Welk concert
I
hear you think, What kind of joke is this?
Until
my forehead thumps with shock and shame
Hell
is a bad present misconstrued, deep feeling mistaken-
Connie,
you are a narcissistic vessel of pure spite
an
angry drumbeat torn through an unfeeling life
angled
at me like a beast for my docile love – outraged
your
bitter laughter rings long and loud
