Waist-Cinching Tests of Wit

" Waist-Cinching Tests of Wit "

Waist-cinching
tests of wit
within a day trip
of a nemesis
as a spelling bee
for one tough cookie


gluten-free Homeric routes
to home-based jamborees
of prayer beaded
sweet-treat brownies


acquired by museums
as jumbled-up atmospheric
big leaps of un-realness
vertically and laterally
dotted on sconce-like shelves
of sole objects in retrospect


festooned by predecessors
under the rubrics of barely-seen
early pieces welded radially
wending toward the fatalistic
sacrilege of trickle-down kitsch...
