the queen of the non-sequitir

••••
the queen of the non-sequitur
amounts to nothing
in the secular world
pawning her gaudy jewels
to get in good with the bishop of fortune
she swerves her head
when she sees full length mirrors
can't stand the taste

wall-to-wall carpeting
under the urn where her former lover lounges
in the living room
of the after life
he can no longer
defend himself
from her baffling
interior design
....
