today's poem - "unlikeable sonnet"

unlikeable sonnet

 

like a plumber’s drain snake

whose descent to the nadir

makes a right of the arrears

 

or a cheesy eighties pop star

whose synthesizer production

wrongs ears with screeching

 

like a cowboy in a surf band

sings about walking the nose

with rockabilly hiccough echo

 

or a patriotic godzilla man

shambles hypnotized through time

wagging his tail, breathing fire

 

our phrenic songs spin like cars

on greased bricks at Indianapolis
