i cucumber  (  rebmucuc i  )

…

i cucumber the catacombs

of castanets & caramel


to lichen like a library

& shrew the pygmy's peas


i mastodon the mutant mews

of sandals, sand & sandwiches


to petal pichard pillories

& peck the princely knees


i otter on the dioxide

of hyphenated milking-maids


& whale the tales of hydrogen

to chafe the chin of cheese


but i am butter cardigan

& partridge not the postman's nose


so bee within this bungalow

& fudge beneath her fleas


...
