DOWNRIGHT GOOPY



Man yelps as he leaps into an unexpectedly hot shower,
cleans up mess he made with hairdryer. Next door,
an underground switchboard operator. One day their
wires were spliced unexpectedly, but sure,

that was a while ago. So someone sells moisture therapy equipment,
someone cooks meals for the finest caged birds.
It can be chalked up as ones and twos in the account of detriment
done by some speech's half-word herds

and by any number of misjudgments of one unclearness or another of anything
someone might have been saying in it.
Or, " ... something
anyone might have been saying in it."
