TWO EXAMPLES
1.
The exotic car show comes to
town.
Each entry gets examined.
Some run on xenon.
Some come from garages in
other states.
They are not native to this
place.
They come anyway.
No one expects them
to blend in with the everyday
Chevys, the Ford F-150s
everyone here has
a commitment to the local.
Most of them work
in the xanthan gum factory.
Their expertise is making
this
stabilizer; a thickening
agent.
2.
A body gets exhumed in the
cemetery.
Experts determine from
fragments
what a man this was.
Out of the ground the exact same shoes
as this man who went missing
from his exercise club.
Everyone expected him
to return.
Every one of his friends live
in other states
and they say he was
experienced.
Of his last experiences
they know only about the
everyday
synthetics, his track suit
exempting him
from being native to this
place
from which earth will make the
local
dioxides
oxygen from his body
laid
out
like a broken xylophone.
Nice, Ashley, really marked the spot! Looking forward to Y & Z.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark. Glad you stopped by. It's been fun writing these. I wonder if writing about numerals could be as enjoyable; then the exercise would never have to end!
