SCOTT WANNBERG
The War The War had its grandchildren over for the afternoon they looked at the scrapbook smiled, told one another jokes, ate well... The War told everyone it was going to wear brand new clothes but if you look close enough the labels are angrily familiar... The War knows where to buy food cheap but good stuff nonetheless... The War had a drinking problem but it got smart, joined AA nothing but coffee now... The War came over to my apartment this afternoon to borrow a video I don't know as I should loan the War any of my things It usually loses them, forgets to return anything... The War got on its knees and prayed for more victims before turning in. Dear God, the War said, please let me go on and on and on I am enjoying myself. The War is getting younger all the time. Nobody should look that young. Nobody. another Godzilla poem godzilla fucks Japan i can't look this isn't real love, you know, godzilla is way too huge Japan is too vulnerable around the eyes someone writes a book about being too vulnerable someone sings a hit tune godzilla needs a fay wray or something to calm his fire down well, king has fay nothing much to do there is there a geisha in Japan who can hold her own Japan falls apart except for their auto industry and that seemingly goes on forever i saw a toyota walking on water lovely lovely lovely indeed godzilla can't actually fit into a toyota the joke is actually on him Scott Wannberg is the author of Mr.Mumps (Ouija Madness Press), Electric Yes Indeed (Shelf Life Press), Amnesia Motel (Dance of the Iguana Press), Juice:the Musical!
