sozzer plods  (  a  p o e m  )

…

the trudge is fudge & brussel sprout

as cabbage spins the sauerkraut

& rivers leap the salmon trout

it's bubble in this praetor out


the thaw is gnaw & puddle daze

as badgers cask the drunken rays

& ladders snake the puzzle maze

it's sable in this mayonnaise


the stead is bread & phantom limbs

as weasels sweep the onion skins

& squinter whips the water wings

it's portal in this caudal fin


the shim is shrew & rubber ball

as butter toads the splutter scrawl

& curtains spurt the splutter crawl

it's scribble in this overhaul

...
