Newsworthy sound bite: QueenB
bitten, a love nip from an overwrought
fan rates a front page focus. Never say,
“it couldn’t get worse,” remember when
Jim Jones convinced his fawning followers
to imbibe grape Kool-Aid laced with strychnine?
Is 1984 already at our door, with distractions
so banal, even anal antics are
are chewed thoroughly then,
swallowed like pulverized
candy cigarettes? A spoonful of sugar
makes the medicine go down, an old saying,
but today a celebrity bite is digested
then expelled while the Hounds of Hell
slobber at the feet of our chosen elite.
True, QueenB got bit as the world
turns, yet we bite the hands that
baptize us with the holy water of Reality.
