Happy poetry month, the thirty day period of solemn remembrance for those foolish enough to read poetry. Also the start of the Tarot.
Oswald Over Lunch
Beltane crowns the Clown Prince
with entomologic ease. Oswald
rises early enough to note his eyes
are the same color as an old flame's.
He would drink some tonic but instead
he uses the spark to light a cigarette in the shower.
The gold leaves of his bible rust in real time.
Ozzy buries the golden bible in the upstate
corner of the Book Depository basement.
Over lunch he notices a Zodiac cypher reading
"MANTICORE SMOKES: BETTER THAN
A HOLE IN THE HEAD" and he would have
laughed but there was no moon. Ruby
Rosebud: "Hey what's so quackin', man?"
Oswald is no man so she says nothing.
