ee cummings on Abe Vigoda


let’s live suddenly without thinking

under honest trees,
                        a stream
does.the brain of cleverly-crinkling
-white tunics pursues the angry dream
of the shore. By midnight,
                                a moon
scratches the skin of the your healthy hills

an edged nothing begins to prune my shorts

let’s live like the light that kills
and let’s as silence,
                            because Whirl’s after all:
(after me)love,and after you.
I occasionally feel viagra how
viagra idon’t know tenuous Now-
spears and The Then-arrows making do
our mouths something red,something tall

if it lasts more than an hour

call my doctor. 

And your sister.

Prune your own shorts!

Trooper, you nut. Ricpic has competition.

Competition? Are you serious?? From ee, TY or old Abe???

Is there room in that Nutty Geezer Club for ricpic? Is winning a matter of survival, or how much corruption one can post humorously withstand?

Honestly
(going with the Abe theme)
Levity's nest was
Recently
rocked with a simple
five five six combo
Seriously
Noting the breaking
Of eggs taking place

Walking on eggshells
On the path between
Taking things seriously
And not taking things
Seriously enough
Wondering with each crunch
If flight or fight left
The nest emptied
While asking, Where's the yoke?
