He’s got the whole
whirled in his hands.
A stomach pump
full of vitamins
(berry berry bad
beetamins, which
shows up here as a
quote from Neil Simon’s
female version of The Odd Couple,
which leads me on a wild goose
chase all the way to the
plot of 1997’s ill-
fated Batman & Robin,
in which Poison Ivy
is then able to contact
Robin once more; she
kisses him...but fails to
kill him due to Robin
wearing rubber lips[...
all these years yearning
for the arrival of the
ultimate sidekick and
he’d been here
all along?!? for, as he
says...] rubber lips are
immune to her charms.)
Voiding, in one fell
swoop: a) nostalgia;
b) any need to hit the
snooze button ever
again; c) I can’t go
on, I must go on; and
d) to misquote Samuel
Beckett.
