Bog of Odd Glitter

19.

she'll go show that there are strong numb

her day yawning her days are a yawn

no boss she'd prettify him shy of

to moo low, by noon underdone

20.

at a state fair she & Dan's tryst was

the tar & straw copy of a bed cha-cha-cha

privately she strung some putty

down where her yummy panda was

14.

Anna's ta-tas, airy in the bra

my hottie sundered her snatch out

my diva, her vice shaving the panda

dividing her shanks from her panda

15.

punch & jam, yum it's a gay show

day for dating the numb jokers

pounding down Dad's mouth, Ma's shank of ham

beam of karma flicking the ho's daring hair

24.

a warm mouth told her she caved so

a better case seen by a barrister

a Senator abhors a moody army

stars pay in full, rats die for their mothers

25.

beers, mall, drone on, pray make it car

show the way Sam, shall my honey sit

you tight apartheid cow, I'll pass that on

shall my waiting Coors sit on her titty

16.

Anna told me joy is a raw joke

couldn't he punt rolls wouldn't he steer her

no cooler shower gave us a child

sugar some man, he'll push the cow

10.

a pair of yuppies named Todd came in my ass

lumbering, small beers sitting on my rack

pair of yuppies named Tom watched some TV

actually Tom, that's my beer you're lamming

11.

a younger shoe shall show your shoe

how to buy gum in Washington

beats Mom forever buying Santa off the rack

her wanting tall shrubs ever higher

7.

a small comb to Harvey's sister, yah

every year Buddha -- we joke to him

without joking -- Mama shined last year

same year Tom tanned himself briefly

3.

Tom: putrid name for a panda,

a chair or a train. Cease yawning

and pass your tongue over the pew

Drew's father is on my hat team

8.

buy one, this mess should carve us should

keep us should something joyous to him

asthma, tarmac we can always check

this samizdat should have a child

 

 

author's note: Homophonically translated from the Bhagavad Gita (Winthrop Sargeant edition). Stanzaic numerals correspond directly to the Sanskrit slokas. To get a sense of the correct pronunciation and meter of Sanskrit I took classes which included group chanting of the text.
