Overloaded Fearlobes (or) Cortex in the Vortex

Sleep has been more like war than death. Lennon was in the foyer screaming, “I’m shot! I’m shot!” The dog had swallowed a bullhorn stuck on siren mode. Somewhere, someone died of a disease I can’t pronounce. In a dusty old print, Andy Warhol was shot by a figment of his assistant’s imagination. He bled an inverted sunset. The colors were like heads exploding.

I thought that Iran was bombing my house, but it was only my new cell phone ringtone. New Message: My mom wants me to eat more fruit. Meanwhile, my congressman keeps tweeting me nude photos. And, that creepy guy who shot Gabrielle Giffords is climbing the walls like a neurotic spider. He’s still wearing an evil Joker smile, and his eyes don’t quite match one another.

Tomorrow, there will be cornflakes and chicory and love songs and victories and offhand sexual innuendo and euphoric bouts of true hope. Until then, I’m going to crawl under the bed and sing Disney songs in my best Death Metal voice. That type of sonic and phonic experimentation usually frightens my mental disorders back into their respective dens. Based on this new empirical evidence: I think God is telling me that my television must die.

"Cornflakes and Chicory, Love Songs and Victory"
Now THERE's a quatrain waiting to happen, if ever I heard!
Which I'll write, as soon as my new fave record is done playing: "Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's Off To Screech Incomprehensibly We Go!"
Oh, and my neighbor has one of "Those" dogs, too...

Now here's the News after all, told in satirical caricature, which in my opinion, is the only way to get it these days ... my fave bit: Meanwhile, my congressman keeps tweeting me nude photos.
Nail on the head stuff..
