NORM

NORM

Norm speaks
slowly
takes
his time

guess it wouldn’t
make sense
for the voice
of truth
and justice
to go racing car

every syllable
pages of reference
legions of footnotes
underpinning

the logic of a bulldozer
when he gets into gear

when he swats your
feeble premises aside
with such ease
how did you even
fool yourself
you had any chance
that the fairy tale
you tell
comic that
you are
might stand its ground?
