An exaggerated use
of Pathetic Fallacy
runs rampant across
the SS United States boardwalk.

The corridors
are cabin whores
their underwear filled
with cluttered drawers.

Diabolically humming,
I'd rather pluck the happy beak
off a backward hummingbird
than make any sense for you.

The single mind
in ESP
perceives the spoon;
it's bent you see?

The pathetic fallacy
of sad trees
and sullen rocks
and sunken skies
and mindful socks
from the hurtful walls
to the smiling falls,

let our objects feel.
