PETER COOK
improv poem while driving at 67mph
Down on I-65 at 67 mph
I cannot do 68 bec its
illegal number
That number can eat you
in the amount of time as if you were
blowing dead eyelashes from
your finger and make wish that never came.
Which is faster? The
eyelashes or the wish.
How I wish for the bees fumbling in the
midair as my car
passing the purple flower among 65. Be sure to
cover your ears
because the bee sure give out pretty darn swearings.
Have u seen bee dance? If you do, you are damn
too close!
Forgive me I am supposed to say something that
will impress you but
honestly in my heart, I
am thinking of these reality shows at 67
mph. Forgive me bro. Now looking for the
telephone pole.
See one in a mile or less
Less
Less
No, more!
