Clumsy footwork
Would you be my shoebox
a sturdy contraption, pleasingly
geometrical and versatile
able to cradle our heavy hearts
and hide all kinds of secrets

I could be your carpet
you can walk all over me
as I protect you from the cold
the unvarnished truth and its splinters

Or I could be your socks and shoes
you can walk around in me all
day all snug and warm at least
until they need replacing
around this time next year

The whimsical sculptures of Ken Nyberg
found throughout Vining and Otter Tail County
for example The Big Foot

Ken's busy hands have created pieces such as
a dancing knife and spoon with arms and legs
a huge doorknob floating in mid-air
giant pliers crushing a cockroach
a jumbo potted cactus, and a huge watermelon

His sculptures are made from scrap metal
old lawn mower blades
and other recycled materials

I would really like to see
the special sculpture honoring
his daughter Karen, a NASA astronaut

Also, the giant clothes pin
the alien with a rose
the cowboy welcoming you into town
and the spilled coffee cup

Ken Nyberg insists that there isn't any
special meaning behind most pieces.
He just creates them

In the dark theatre she stared
deep into my void and mumbled something
about vacuum energy
particle pairs blinking into existence
and quickly annihilating each other back into
the nothingness from whence they came
   much like she did

- The point is to make something, she said,
  not to care if it's any good

- It doesn't matter if your playing
  is poor or incomplete. Failing doesn't mean you'll die

- Bruce Almighty used his divine power
  to manifest some coffee
  & you're much better than that goofy *******

I keep moving seats
elbows buddy elbows
    I keep moving seats
sir, do you have headphones some say earbuds?
it would appear not
    I keep moving seats
geezer's hoicking up a lung
    I keep moving seats
now we have a nutscratcher
with hairy legs akimbo
    I keep moving seats
maybe I should find this child charming but
he's doing my crust in poking my leg
    I keep moving seats
yes I enjoy listening to the sounds
of the bingo video game or like
whatever the **** do you mind
    I keep moving seats
Is it possible to sleep so long you die?
can we take a week off work for heartbreak?
how do you function without coffee?
where can I buy a new face & body?

Is it bad to put magic in your ***?
does anyone actually know what they are doing in life?
is it ok to cry during a wrestling match?
how many days until a dead body starts to stink?

Does a cat know when you're *******?
does it feel good to stab someone?
is it possible for something to only be slightly mangled?
and is the world ending?

Do seahorses taste like shrimp?
at what point do you stop looking like a jacket potato?
does anyone know any good cults to join?
where tf are y'all finding true love?

Feeling the warmth, feeling the cold
people come, some people go
and my mind is always wondering
how long you are going to stay

Among the sandals and tambourines
the firefly diamonds and
the sudden silence, the big vendetta
and the scene stealing corpse

Night falls, sleep comes, sand
bugs bite my ankles and I still
hope to see your sunburned face when
I open my bonfire encrusted eyes
I ordered a blazing Bordellino and mescal
what's that you say, why it's an alcoholic drink made with the
fruit of a wild tree, typically flavored with orange peel

I was sat next to a Pilator
that's a person who guides someone or something
this guy was the father figure of political science
it's not the same as a mentor, no
his name was Mitchell, and Mitchell was his name

His wife was an Amarrat
in case you are not aware, that's a
woman who is an Honorary Dame, ranked above a
Privy Council or Baroness
Martha was her name, and her name was Martha

I must admit they both had
something of the Snarper about them
Pilators and Amarrats tend toward the snobbish

While sipping our Bordellinos we were offered
some Compugns which, I'm sure you know, are
small edible drums with antennae
found in tropical and subtropical regions

This alarming snack was followed by a
hearty slab of Terraea, the Argentine cheese
which derives from dried sambalaya

Mitchell and Martha, their mouths masticating the Terraea,
confided in me that they were Paulpaul quartees.
That was their Snarperish way of confessing
they had a keen interest in wine

They longed to impart all they knew
as part of their Praecological - 'it's more
than merely educational' - mission. Indeed they
insisted on being known as world class
Praecologicalists, even when they
were cross-eyed on Bordellinos and frothing with Terraea

But I struggle to say the word c-----
such a clumsy combination of diphthongs
is that right, check it out later

Why not just say syllables and don't
pretend you're some sort of diphthong lord
you like saying diphthong don't you
almost as much as you hate saying c-----
and it's not even the correct term

Also how are you stressing the
con and the dom?
give them equal weight, or go all out on the CON
and then a brief and apologetic dum

        CON CON CON
        dum dum dom

It's a small thing but it popped
into what is left of my mind so
I just had to share it

While we're on the subject, there
is a four letter word beginning with F
that I also can't bear to say
    - he's so refined, like some
    Downton Abbey yourladyship
and it isn't even f---
