Tug Dumbly # 19 - What are the Odds?


what are the odds?

You’re a flip of the coin
an immaculate misconception
an accident that happened
to happen
an inessential oil slick
hanging round a street corner
with all the other oil slicks
when you send a sperm
skidding into an egg
that made an omlette
a hit and run crime seed
and you wind up the victim
of biological fate …
yes these metaphors
are criminally confused
which is why there are still
cops and ambos
milling about back there
mopping up your past
photographers flashing
chalk outlines of you naked
in the making 
nothing to see here folks,
nothing to see …

Doesn’t mean you’re not lovely but

  1. hmm yeah
    the odds favor
    continuation
    of the species
    little junior
    little petals
    climb till they
    climb no more
    the gods do too
    I suppose
    up and down
    their wet ladder
    just leave me
    out of it
    please
