Weekly Sonnet 38

The Age of Mirth

Then Zenobia’s red pickle dish dropped.
The image and style you’re used to: stopped.
We find all our joy in causing rainstorms.  
I will get what I want against all odds.
The east side of this state is fully nuts.
I pass the world like all the good working
people.  I am not sorry for my crime.  

Appoint them a horse.  Your office is prime
for raunchy orgies.  I’ve seen the warning
in amber and maize.  A fine dagger juts
out from your chest.  A million little gods
have gone before and after you.  The forms
on the ionosphere hold us in scorn.
Mattie Silver rues the day she was born.
