possums know jazz

                         dig Coltrane/snap
                              to that bebop

           groove to trumpets
louder than Vietnam, Iraq, Gaza

                break like pregnant waters
                                      born of dry ice
                                                         vaporized

bonobo possums, antipodeans
                                        grazing on

Antarctic fission/fusion
fluxus fata morgana

needed like we need
Bonobo lottery tickets

                  (re)membered reconstituted loss

                                                           hard investment
                                         in a well-lubricated account:

man-baby fake-*** banker

                     insolvent in liquidity

       as if Bonobos actually played jazz
                              and Coltrane merely

                              interpreted (snap)
I followed this poetry template:

An irrelevant quip to start:
Some offhand remark
or a vapid pop-culture reference
then: strange mismatched ideas,
verbose obscurantism,
violently odd similes,
clash of madly-mixed metaphors.
Don’t forget
absurd line breaks/
spacing
a non-sequitur or two…
SUDDEN ****** REFERENCE
(or race-baiting)
if U want your fake poem
to go that way…
then, repeat some line
from start of the “poem”
and finally: that PERT and QUIRKY
not-quite-closure.
