Poetry, Week 25: Ann Pedone

 

From: The Spyros Obsession

 
8/3 

It was the illicit semiotician’s    Jello
cluster-fuck that                       got us here and
now
no one is
 left to glaze the         fore-
skin Unter den                         Linden or self-
activating yeast mother insisted could be used as sure prophylactic           

 
 

8/9

 
Paralyzed by the IUD     recently retrieved from 
vaginal 
canal of
Boston 
Symphony
Orchestra                     Spyros now 
has no choice but to
change into his meat-
stained house-              dress



Hours later it was 
discovered that the three or 
four                               remaining
oboe players     
were     all
                                        jacking off into the same 

winter coat            

 
 

8/1

 
After Elgin was caught 
trying to
inseminate                       Parthenon
Marbles his 
wife       

Mary woke up 
and jammed all of her      breast 
milk for the 
winter months               

 
 

10/4

 
Polyphony
Polygamous
Polygon
Polytechnic
Polyglot
Polychrome
Polytheism
Polyester 



Spyros takes all of his polyester to the dry 
cleaners 
Sets the pile gently on the counter and waits for his 
genitals to assume the Liddell and Scott position
