The Whole Banana Skin Calamity



.
He’d come to claim he knew
The Wisdom Game, the name,
the mercies and the dividends of
.
which he knew could at his sensitive
direction lend an unexampled scheme
of glory to the World re: how to travel on
.
and to and through the silver dream of
living with a minimum of angsty fuss.
He’d saved his money, bought a bus
.
and had it painted green and gold
and red and mauve and cobalt blue,
devised a hat upon which perched
.
a two-beaked bird whose face he’d
made the icon of the Third Benign
Elective One to whom all countesses
.
poured out their indiscretions as he lay
in waiting for the needy throngs to say just
how to right their wrongs. He could go on
.
like this for all eternity and then, right
after when, begin the whole banana
skin calamity again, again, again.
