Social Parody

Your father lives in Michigan. "In Michigan? Where's that?" Michigan is in between the baseball and the bat. "Huh? What you talkin bout?" A tourniquet of such. You see, the bleeding stops but then the limb is doomed to die. "You're rambling again." As precocious as this may seem: to find a flapjack in a dream is eating breakfast in a bean.

interesting images, sounds. Reminds me of deep 70's deep imagery. This one of your better ones.

Your first three lines resound. The last two sound like you're smokin dope. Do not think I am being cheeky for I have great experience in such matters.

I must be slow again today. I don't get it. Or is it supposed to be pointless? I am clueless.

Very Lewis Carroll I hate discribing this poem this way I mean Lewis Carroll is not an adjective but it is very Louis Carroll" It's silly and fun and well constructed. 8/10

It's got a cleverly abstract quality.
Like something I would write.
Except not quite splendidly idiotic.
I have a feeling it was written out of boredom and absolute mindlessness.
