you are obviously
new at this,
my sweet, tender
little thing
here, let me teach you
how to play this game
put that hand here, and
hold it firmly
and tight
put the other here,
squeeze and pump,
in this direction,
like this
now, put your finger
gently
right here
and, lightly
squeeze
see?
that…
is how
easy
it is
to die
and, to
make them

purpose is dying
thousands more reliable
than the single
or the none
little tick-tock remains
to garner the gains
gouge the special killing
double barrel
price gun
one for all
and everything event
pressure, systolic
tying stakes to the ground
taping nails into place
boatloads of saving
coupons for barrels
of monkey fish laurels
trips and great prizes
sale signs and wonders
red tags of grace
cometh thee first
oh ye saved, special items
vip members, apostolic
way buffed and paved
golden, hyperbolic
and warned, were they
who heeded not, the news
crumbling, the chances
to make quick advances
power grab rostrum
no sleeping possum
who, missing bargain bus,
sits at home
with the blues
come antsy and itching
tense and hot twitching
lucky thunder ball ticket
lightning begged
from the sky
iron, hot and free lunch
with cookies and punch
waking neighbors from naps
pay full price
for scraps
no savings for me?
oh, dear lord, why not i?

it’s so sweet and juicy
tried to tell sister lucy
that hot tongue, bickering
in flickering fashion
but unlike lucy, whose lips
drip skeptical passion
it’s only a big, fat deal
that you’re dickering
and sizable discounts
are what you embrace
all top-shelf stuff
proof, more than enough
taste it and see
jump, shout, and sing
promise satisfaction
join in on our action
a product, superior
above any other
get in the door
while there’s going
left to get
and still some
to be got
don’t burn with regret
wishing you’d bought
shiny, fresh feeling
bargains, ground to ceiling
and truthfully,
there will never
ever be another
