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.

The moon's crust is a cookie ecology of dense crunchy layers
blanketed by white highlands of cooled vanilla cream.
T, do let's Think about the

E, Evolution of the Earth's candid photos of some

TEAM of rare animals in tropical jeeps! Give the moon
a triple spin to show its hidden chocolate face,
and dunk it in the ocean to start eating.
