TAIPAN
I do hope
these feeble offerings
meet expectations
blend in with perceptions
fit the ruling algorithm
work wonders in the wash
with
every colonial.mindset
under the Sun,
the skin-cancer Sun
likely to play havoc
with the
shade of our species
need to hit this one
not just out
of the park
but across the entire outback
(mustn’t
come boomeranging back
in any size shape or form)
or return
with that sour vomit reflux
that you
people antipodean
have just way too
many synonyms for
and so
as you see by my references
and appendix certification
I have not only
chosen wisely and well
but have measured every
word, graphene,
syllable using
precise laser alignment
and most exact
of micrometers
have filtered via pipette
to withhold any residue
what is left
should be
immune to distaste,
inoculated against deep scrutiny
unless somewhere in
the nature of the whole toxic
chemistry
produced a venom more
troublesome than
that of
the inland taipan itself
.
