From The Land Of Immobilia

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The King and Queen
of Immobilia
sat on their throne
and did not move
unless nature called
or their stomach grumbled
or
—of course—
the cats needed
to be fed

They traveled the world
—on-line or off-subject—
but in reality
they went nowhere
 
But not always
 
In pursuit of their 
professions
(art + math)
they circumnavigated
the earth
[in equivalence]
 with or without rhyme

Immobility
was  their chosen facade
and could suck up sympathy
from a salamander
or sarcasm from the gutter

  2. Guilty as charged.

    About the only thing capable of mobilizing me
    is if Napping became
    an Olympic event
