The Contrite Contradictory Roll

It's been a long hard week of Fall Rush at the University Book Store and computer troubles. My mind is shot...or at least that's my excuse for writing this piece. I came up with it while walking back to my car from the bookstore and craving my slices of pepperoni from Grocery Outlet.

An hor d'oeuvre for the perfect bipolar culinary experience...

1) 1 slice Pepperoni
2) 1/2 leaf Romaine
[Be sure they are equal amounts]
3) Roll together and hold in center with a toothpick.

It's easy to make.

feral post

my email lost
a post gone feral
pop-up overlays of wizards
tummies of liposuction
all the pop-ups
the websites pressed
traveling directionless
feral screen
without reason
writing disappears
not to return
and I've lost
everything I have written
post gone feral
mirroring wildness within
calling my community
set my computer back
to 9/11
because HAL told me to
and now I have email
and the problem still works
go back go back
to C4
451
some scraps of paper to
remind me how to be human or humane
feral remainder

Some dialectic experiment with a kind of made up old English feel.
