Boredom is Dangerous

Composed in the food court over Indian on 1/28/08 at 2:28pm:

Tigger is not tiger
It is a difference of a "g"
With just a spelling accident
A tiger becomes a tigger

Is it coincidence?
Or did the keys just stick?
Was it intentional?
Like the lie in believe?

Perhaps Tigger was
The hyperactive son
Of suburban yuppies
Who by virtue of an extra "g"
Was made unique.

Space Pen!
Blasted off under the clear blue sky
For stratosphere and beyond
Just an instrument in the hand
Quick and fluid
Writing from every angle
On floating paper and paper cups
And other jealous utensils.

Space Pen!
Landed in the Indian Ocean
And felt like the Bubble Boy
Thrown in the corner
Under a discarded ball of figures
Trajectories and such
Just jetsam in the ocean
Now for sale near you.
