poem - Lawrence Welk Concert

 

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
