Importance is relative. The cosmos
is free. I drowned in the milk of culture
I only drink the beers that do cost most
I add tea to my lemons for Palmer.
I don’t pet dogs, but I do pet kittens
“It wasn’t a cruise, but I was in Spain”
Overheard as I beg to get a pittance
The reign of Charlemagne falls on the plain.
Roncevalles for valley girls and boys
“Ricardo Montalban…got the work in
… I saw it at Newbury Comics.” Noise
issues from mouths I should stick a cork in.
At the heart of a diamond lie heads of state
Or is it zirconia, this country’s fate?
