purgatorial passage



doodlebugging presaged passage
between one monster
or the other, 
i say feed Scylla a full gold platter
of putanesca,
lest she rage once more
her rocky Rococo shore

& arrange flowers for Charybdis,
upright and splayed
as axial teases for his whirling vortices 
his board room of wine dealing illuminati
his slain sylvan collection 
of salt water locked ship-skeletons

the maw of columbia and she who watches
concentric invitations to become sand,
the handshake deals of sheiks
&typhoons from out of state, that's par

south of the gold toilet bowl danger
flushes north, to melt ice in dunce fed anger
over a war on xmas, 
its Rococo swiss village,
delegations lost in the scrum
tunnel to the gas chambers of fossil fuel
appetizers and hooks await
tack at one's own peril
and offer olives amidst weary glaciers,
making full hands lousy swimming accessories

thunk odysseus thunk joe sixpack
thunk USA
spin cycle cyclops
