Kansas
by Mike Fallen
A salmon swims upstream. Man in salmon suit.
Bearded with lantern. Wand Leading.
ROYGBIV. Seurat sez: ‘Incoming!’
Gone atomic. Pixelated.
Now it’s monster trucks and rallycar grip racing.
18bit green alienhead spins on swivel.
This calls for heroine.
She smiles like gunfire. Salamander konga
commando jacket. Shortbarrel lotta stock
sniper rifle. More sunglasses. Light smoke
w/ tazer. Deep drag. Karen came here to bitch
and buy toilet paper. Maneater: Atomic Blonde
Brewery sponsorship. As above, as seen on TV…
Wide range radar sweep. Search Party. Sonic
boom. Apple Pippin Bandai Boomerangst
circa 199-. A surrealist coup. Counterterrorist’s win.
Mao salutes the eagle. A Chinamen turns a wrench.
Nukem smokes a trumpet. A dragster slips the turnpike –
Whoosh –
The rules are broken. Dorothy in bellbottoms.
Electric tinman. Scarecrow hallucinogen.
Skinny lion Halloween costume. Red latex
combat boots.
Dorothy sez:
- Say Toto, is all this really Kansas too?
