Cooking up
stories
in the company
of adults

no one knows
the “Who? What?
When? Where?
and rarely, the Why?”

as pretty-much
concocted
heralded swans
that merely watch
the scary tales
of climate monsters
with perfunctory horrors

discomfortingly stark
upheaval
nonstop drama
becoming increasingly
solitary
within brainless plots

disarmingly imparting
“other shoes dropping”
raucously responding
with har-de-har-harring
cacophonies of,
“HOT! HOT!! HOT!!!”...
