4 short shorts
1.
A lazy clown sealed real animals inside balloons. Doggies, lions, monkeys! The children squealed w/ delight. Then they discovered the teeth.
2.
A plumber built a suit of armor out of scraps. Then welded himself into it, a new steel skin. “Wife! You like?” “Oh you look awful in gray.”
3.
The moon=butter. Ralph lifts a knife up, scrapes it & spreads it on toast. It melts over his slacks. How to remove moon stains from slacks!?
4.
In the globe of a body we put our flag in the spleen & look up. A neck's an awful sky, tangled by veins like shadows from branches of trees.

*there's* the strangeness
I didn't expect to like these. But I did. Weird and good.
Bizarre but compelling.
