57. WILY STUCCOED
STARING STATUES
I.
Wily stuccoed staring
statues
Flippantly flaunting
stupid statutes
Plausibly plauditing
placarded platitudes
Obviously exacerbating
amorous attitudes
Commonly commingling
with communist columnists
Political polecats
and particular Parnassians...
Orgasmic octogenarian
orangatangs
Wouldn't amaze me
more!
II.
The little-known
naked tree people of Quebec
Are a tribe not often
seen by mortal eyes
They have perfected
the art of carmelian disquise
To keep incursive
civilization in check
When blue you can't
see them against the sky
When black they are
invisible in the night
Wooden, stuccoed,
painted pink in suburban flight...
And neon
Through city streets
They fly...
