The Obvious Angle

Researchers in the Netherlands have been trying to publish
an insanely terrible play called "The Quantum Misfit."
It's the story of a buffalo, its secret lairs, and its

much more sensible play, "Today Is A Long Way From Now."
The buffalo sets its play on the Sun,
where the horizon is like a spreadable nuclear Disneyland.

However, the Earth, which requires more efficiency than
its solar brother, is developing gradually lengthening days
that can simply be painted onto to any usable surface.

Rhymes—Only $1

Poetry is a garishly yellow Dollar Tree store
in Salem, Ore. You've seen the "As Seen on TV"
ad — a famously cool anti-poet pushing

a superabsorbent poem down an aisle we're calling,
merely, "Gunk." A local poet who writes a blog,
"Knockoff To A Nightingale," is worried about

the high cost of poetry. Living in the toy aisle,
streaked in orange goo, she writes extreme-discount
12-line poems for— wow!— about a dollar.

watching as time disappears below the water,
making no attempt to rescue remembrances.
