Everything at Walmart Is Elastic, Even the Footwear

I’ve never worn a thong
But I have given myself
The most epic wedgies
Pulling myself up
By my bootstraps
That’s basically
The same thing
Right?

Careful with Them Endoscopes, Doc, I’ve Been Burning the Candle at Both Ends

Images frayed by the reality they touch
Are not themselves made of flesh
They are not inflamed  
Ensouled, perhaps
But that all will depend on bloodwork
