surefire submission to the editors of poetry

 

I snuggled up to common happenstance

as iamb rhymeless numberless profound

as a trip to the dump

and when I handcuffed it to stranging words

jackintheboxing funly out of head

damned if the little sumbitch didn't turn

all sticky metaphysical on me.
