the flying carrot
one day me and Stinky Jay
was riding our bikes in the
pond last night and was on
our way to the concert they
had last week at the Phoenix
theater which burned down
before they built it back in
1935 in the year 2000 and we
wanted to hear the opening
band that played at the end of
the show before the headliners
started so me and Jinky Stay
wrote letters home from
summer camp and asked
our mums to send a box
of cookies to the airport
and gave up on finishing
our math homework since
we didn’t have bikes and
the international space station
was passing overhead brighter
than the planet Venus II on
Earth I Day and Sinky left his
car keys at home last time we was
at my house after we both retired
from the railroad following thirty years
of service this morning and our families
put us in nursing bras and then we
danced the Pokey Hokey and I finished
my dissertation on phuantum qysics
and mailed it in along with three box
tops for a Cap’n Crunch pirate decoder
ring we was gonna exchange for the
prisoners of war still being held in the
desert hell of the Antarctic humpback
whale that swims around among the
mini marshmallows in the hot chocolate
Stanky Jiy wears on the brim of his pants.

Wow! This is so fun to read and I particularly love the back and forth paradoxes on time… fascinating poem!
I love this completely!
