That’s Horrible!

     Go sandpaper a horse.

                 —John Ashbery

He blew his nose into what?
A ham sandwich, you say?

Not a single day goes by
but there’s a whole week

of ’em.  A month, even.
Years later, we get a

closer look.  But staring
at humanity through a

microscope is enough to
make a fella upchuck his

lunch in a pathetic lurch.
Quiet on the set!  That’s

what needed to be said,
at any rate past around

mid-volume.  Voluminous
days.  Days that make one

gorgeous.  As if.  Those
were the days.  The days

of what?  
Or that’s what
Toupee Harry wondered.
