A PAIR OF     
     CORPSES
Kenneth Pobo
Uncle Fester sits at one end of the table,

Joan Crawford at the other--

                                           

  maybe lime sorbet will break

               the ice

if not stiff martinis

I ask both Lazaruses

  about death.  



                      Joan:

It’s dark and Director God’s

passed out in the bathroom.

                      Fester:

I like it.  I have a swamp and

good electricity.

                                           

They dash.  Joan hears

 her cue.  Fester snacks on

a light bulb.  They vanish

                                                       

           where rose roots scrimmage

           with unhelmeted pebbles
