elemonade the Patty’s map
            —David Foster Wallace

Prognosis: I’m as slow as Christmas
and as happy as a clam.  Everyone
stares into the middle of the sentence.
Nevertheless over the tops of nuns we 
bitch.  An airplane types an urgent 
letter to your ex.  Everyone stares
at a bench.

So Christmas comes Cajun and
second-oldest lobster asks for seconds.
Its eyebrow becomes detached in a
harpoon incident.  The nuns belch
and then I hear a very loud laugh
cuz Roger’s got his hand
on the controls.
