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
