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.

"Knockoff To A Nightingale," is worried about

the high cost of poetry. Living in the toy aisle,

A small history of podium democracy infused
gold witnesses with the courtesy of some plastic siege,

A Sunday, Sunday calling. Barricades ablaze, a truck to run

tricolor people chanted, face to face to chest. Some became

free. And Sunday, Sunday, witnesses. From troops,
monarchy.
Anti-aircraft in the streets, the government, the occupied
palace. The oldest ties to serve the uprising. Independent as

military in July. A symbol, the flag, the state. The former
world is positioned in outskirts calling for Libya's Arabian
Britain. High isolation on a loyal Sunday, hung from light.

In the sleek red burnish of the cat's pleased back,
aluminum boundaries of the night's razzle-dazzle

In the continuing feud between Visa and Microsoft
to trademark the world's richest dog, one company
issued a warning to allegedly cunning children

who have taken to looking all "3-D":
"We are going after everyone in Japan."
And e-mailed the reciprocal disclaimer:

"3-D art" could be "three-dimensional," but also perhaps
"three-day," as in "a three-day, two-dimensional,

2010-11-09T06:21:00.000-08:00

Some 12 million marketing pimps teamed up

of Fromage in a statement to The New York Times
yesterday. "No more free cheese!" he trumpeted.
From Philadelphia to Fiji, jaws hit the floor.

Do not be alarmed, said some big cheese who spoke on

He rests his head on a pillow of tattered towels,
broken-down and rusting on a backstreet.
Taken by surprise, he ran out of everything,

a first-class nightmare coming true.
He leans back, closes his eyes, and wonders
how much more he can bear, new to this quiet desperation.

It stabs, burns, aches and throbs, gnaws at you,
knocks you for a loop. But, sooner or later
it all goes away. Unless, he's been told, it doesn't.

An Impressive Denouement

It's the great cosmic joke:
the dramatic revelation our present day strategy
has produced no bold progress.

We've been living in the clouds,
so afraid of stillness, of being disconnected,
that what we once thought were bullet-proof blessings

were only the narcotic of ingenious technology.
And, nobody knew how dangerous it was.
Blindsided and sunk, we wait in line for naught.

She strolled in uninvited in her prim white blouse
and smudged black eyeliner,
on the verge of tears, machine guns protruding,
chewing over the cultural importance of baseball.
"It can get a little boring," she said softly.

The church is closed today, can't ask it's staff
to break away
from a major cocaine bender at The Four Seasons Hotel
(soon to be reprised on the Upper West Side)
and work with the blizzard of cross-dressing drunks

who are hyperventilating and freaking out,
but what in the world are we supposed to do?
The good news is the Grammys must be canceled.

We just said that only genetic bubbles matter.
Don't implore the power. Grip the personalised distrust.
The over-hyped fighting of dream troops,

clashing with their pick of absent opponents.
Any student has the right to ask for and receive
a fresh Bavarian cucumber.

But was it meant to get first-graders
calling for new elections?
So says a head of losers.
