[New-Poetry] "Stipulations"

[Anny Ballardini]

Well, believe it or not but I just finished writing this; I am well aware that a newspaper would have done a better job, at least me as a journalist I would have been more accurate (as an answer to Mawiyah Bomani's poem):

oh you mean the chatty ducks
there is a prototype who lives right in front of me
a shining trombone, an unidentified mixture or reality shows
the bad picture of any caricature you can see
funny to say she can't even speak proper Italian
I wish someone would use her words as a tornado
and suck her out of the worlds



the Faker's 

I knew a false couple
who manipulated so much
their hands were as large as the earth
she as fat as a fart
him skinny and short
I sometimes thought
what was the good of it
to be glorified while knowing
you had faked it all.

  Stipulations


  Ghostly instead, they chronicle their most
  horrid neighbors. Standard ground-based
  tools put an end to night skies everywhere.


  Newspapers promise more accurate obits
  whether their subjects are living or dead.
  My mother was thirty times more sensitive


  than my father on all but the most august
  occasions. Mac Low said, "Every text
  worth reading is a manifesto." I say,


  whoop-dee-doo! Fat lazy dogs forever!
