Yet Another Take on Modern Life
Commercial Director
-Get me the ugly little broad with
the enormous ass!
-Again?
-I like her! Doesn't turn all Betsy-Wetsy
when I scream.
-Do you care about the product this time?
-Never. All the same.
-Well, some background anyway: Whole Body
Makeup applied with a shovel. She punches
men before she discovers it, then gets all
fluttery-buttery and flirtsy-wirtsy after.
-Another Commercial Miracle!
-That latter part softens her image, though.
Her agent might not like...
-Hey! Like, dislike! That's the old rhetoric!
Each person a circus today.
-And if Madame Za-Longa is shot from the
canon and freezes mid-air?
-Crank her to the target or we all starve!

Arrangement
Wondering of the first caveman to say "Put it in writing!"
Extraordinary feat, since there is none.
So our two invent it: an arrangement of emblematic stones.
And since promises therein, they’ve devised, also, the future.
Not bad for such violent slobs.
But they're not done yet, at least one.
For he stumbles into the arrangement on a cold morning
and, instead of restoring things, likes the way it now looks,
favoring him--and reasons the gods want it that way.
And thus founds he modern life.
