Pressure–sensitive
Cellophane tape
With acrylic resin
On cellulose adherend
Wets the scape
With quick-stick cohesion .
A release agent
Flexibly uncurls
Before snipping
The smell of chemistry—
A melding covert .

I say ;
Good day !,
Sir or ma’am .
An etiquette mainstay ;
And yet many abstain,
Walking away—
Not giving a damn .

Radio wavelengths longer than ten meters,
No ionosphere causing them to peter,
Cosmic electromagnetic reader
Record the radiation from the past
Traveling parsecs from Dark Ages cast
From hydrogen redshift before stars amassed .
In Cosmic Dawn the heavens were lit,
And with stretched waves spacetime is writ—
State of the medium intergalactic .

Roll the bolus forward
From the olfactory
Gustation . Gas fumes
Loom, wheting zest,
[ The basal nasal bulb,
A reptilian hub ],
Digestive zeal—
Sour salted bitter
Better savory sweet .
Nutrient fruition
Follows deglutition .
It’s alimentary.

Mardi Gras incident,
The dramatis personae :
Four people celebratory,
Letting themselves go .
This they did with a vengeance ;
Now wearing faces twisted from inside—
For the rest of their lives,
Lives spent in the shadow :
Tonight’s tale of men,
The macabre and masks,
Justice meted
In the Twilight Zone .

Binary
Star barycentered
By parry,
One shrinks as the other grows
From the Roche lobe overflow .
