Fifteen of us
boarded
a very secure
"balcony"
elevator
The first one to speak
was Mrs. CarPeo
[With no memory of her words]
Ultimately
everyone
spoke
or chuckled
except for
the woman
with
double-silicon
bazongas
The names mentioned
in a conversation
shared by
five of us
were
+
The latter was
"slide-fully delicious"
according to
a very young man
with
two other men
saying
Mr. CarPeo
commenced that discourse
when he suggested
Lighnin' Hopkins
would be
an excellent duet singer
with
Paul Simon
who has
husky + dusty
coffee-stained
83-year-old
vocal cords
Seemingly,
everyone agreed
with the suggestion
+
Mama Bazonga
winked at me

I was in that elevator with you and everything you said about it was true except Mama Bazongas DID TALK TO Mrs. Carpeo. She whispered the name of “Memphis MInnie,” a blues singer who influenced Muddy Waters.
ReplyDeleteMrs. CarPeo told me about that AFTER I posted this page
Deleteand I am willing to live with "the lie" within the text.
However, Mrs. Carpeo has since listened to
BUMBLE BEE by Memphis Minnie
three times.
Considering she has never listened to a song
I recommend more than once,
that is a major accomplishment
