Unwanted Wonders
Jimrod James
Killer of systems
Last cousin of
Dizzy Earl Spencer
The man who dumbfounded eternity
He sits with flattened pockets
The unwanted wonder of the world
The plain and peckish
Dabble on walls
Their cars stalled by the river
Soon to trade lures
For cement blocks
Never the savvy huntsmen
They write their names
In colored chalk
Your fancy lamps
Impress this lot
A holocaust in vain
Like reverends at quinceaneras
Puzzling over plates
They've pledged to do
The ketchup's work
Unwanted wonders of the world
You watch their children
As they nod off
On porches the laughter diminishes
Somber as the knee draws back
The wildly flailing torches
Pierce beyond the bushes
Killer of systems
Last cousin of
Dizzy Earl Spencer
The man who dumbfounded eternity
He sits with flattened pockets
The unwanted wonder of the world
The plain and peckish
Dabble on walls
Their cars stalled by the river
Soon to trade lures
For cement blocks
Never the savvy huntsmen
They write their names
In colored chalk
Your fancy lamps
Impress this lot
A holocaust in vain
Like reverends at quinceaneras
Puzzling over plates
They've pledged to do
The ketchup's work
Unwanted wonders of the world
You watch their children
As they nod off
On porches the laughter diminishes
Somber as the knee draws back
The wildly flailing torches
Pierce beyond the bushes
