AS I SIT) CONTEMPLATING WHY THE HISSING
GRAY BLUR ON THE T,V. SCREEN IS FADING TO BLACK
I TH INK OF THE AU"lOST NEW .. BLOOD RED SWEldTR; HANG IN(; IN MY CLOSET)
VICiOUSLY UNRAVELING ITSELF TO PROTEST BEING WORN TWICE IN ONE WEEK.
MY 970 FIREBIRD SITS STUBBORNLY IN THE GARAGE)
SPITTING OIL ON THE INDOOR-OUTDOOR CARPET FOR FUN
AND READING ITS TEN-YEAR WARRANTY IN ANTICIPATION OF 1980.
IN RUNNING OUT THE DOOR; I GRASP THE KNOB
AND CARRYING IT ALONG WITH ME OUT INTO THE BACK YARD)
CLEVERLY USE IT TO PLUG THE HOLE IN THE SWIMMING POOL
GEE) I HOPE THE DOG DIDN T DROWN.
