Cadmium Won't Scare My Brain Into A Pretzel [Guest News Poem, June 4, 2010, Misti Rainwater-Lites]

Cadmium Won't Scare My Brain Into A Pretzel [Guest News Poem, June 4, 2010, Misti Rainwater-Lites]
Misti Rainwater-Lites

In an ideal dream panties golden
goddess lipstick world I would be
eating black olives and feta cheese
and drinking a bottle of German Eiswein
by the twinkle tease of dead stars
near gargantuan ocean prettier than
an amethyst and much less placid

I am in bum fucked up the sweaty ass Texas
eating burnt popcorn drinking cheap
but excellent pinot noir listening to John Lennon
wail his love and lust for Yoko Ono
via YouTube

thus.
cadmium exposure via McDonald's
Shrek glasses ain't the heaviest thing
on my mind, boo
I don't live in this world
I float over it
lonelier yet fatter than a Gulf Coast cloud
pissing my petulant rain
on Mardi Gras parades

God! Send me a hurricane!
Send me a reason to evacuate.
All my meals
are happy.

“McDonald's is recalling 12 million drinking glasses featuring characters from the "Shrek" movie series because the paint used contains cadmium, which can pose health risks.”
