We have a
two for one
-laugh track-
sale ending
sunday!

Asleep on the couch, Jim doesn't
notice his wife opening the door
until it's too late and he's been
hit with the sunday paper.
"You haven't cut
the lawn, have you?"

If he had it might have tried to swallow
him whole honey, didn't you notice the teeth
they've grown, the seepage from the cables
running rampant under the yard leaked ads
the blades of grass were quite ready to
spend their savings getting sharper
while Jim lets it all soak in-
the spreading drool marks each second
they sell to him under his snoring breath.

Free financing
for silence,
we promise.

"Go dig up the weeds
before it gets dark."
See what you find under the dirt there,
run your fingers through the smallest
distinction you can make, salvage the flowers
if you can. make the sun run backwards, and tell
your neighbors dying isn't a problem unless
it happens while you're sleeping. Jim gets up
before he can feel the paper over his head again,
reaches to turn off the television
but he can't turn the dial,
and there's Johnny
giving the opening
monologue to grass.
