Inventions

 

We love our inventions, Marti and me —

the sparks that fly when words collide, the alchemy

of wit. We love Neck-cessories

for tying one on. We love Hamber-Pal,

your stovetop friend, and Bed Sky: planetarium

for the boudoir. We love Baconweed,

Lifeskis, and the Get It Up for Awareness

prostate exam promo. Chick-a-dees:

the German shepherds of the sky, and Yarmulke

Helper™: personal cranial

periscope. Mrka for Him®. Karmic

Offsets. Oxi-Toes. We love FLOATPLANE

for a password. Empatha pills. Above

all, we love living here, iFriend — we love.

 

                                                     for Marti
