The affect of age
is depth I think
watching season 1, number 1 and even
after the unaired pilot
of The Beverly Hillbillies
born

The words in the lines
that meant nothing
at 10, 30, 50 's years ago
that were throw away dna
pull from my diaphragm
(I have never used that word before in my life I swear
and now my diaphragm hurts - lol - jk)
joy

let me set the scene
Jethro has a sister
played by a tall, I kid you not, strong
man in a dress
voiced by a girl
sung to, no ****

"ain't she large
in all directions"
by -I've lost track-
in dumbfoundednicity
"that's perfection
ain't she keen"

"the most I've ever seen
and I'm here to tell you
I'm her ding **** daddy
and she's my queen"
and I had no idea ever
this was even there

oh how they must have laughed
at the censors
and it still worked
and the shock now
of seeing performers
speaking out

so artfully in protest
is mesmerizing
in its loud invisibility
really curious
what now I cannot
"crumpet? No, Clampett"
