LATTE latterly, not early, like those expecting Summer fruit in Winter.
Um?
Marshmallow v. Latte
FRUIT salad-should it have marshmallows?-instinct from bygone decade,
FERAL current of generational change introduces new instinct:
LATTE, the liturgical stop for coffee.
EQUAL instincts? Who knows? Each wellspring is opaque, save marketing’s role.
Top of the Food Chain

DRYLY the old man told his story: the
KNOCK on the door, the police asking, ‘Did you
SPANK your child?’ His answer, ‘What a
PUREE you make of the law. Of course I spanked my child – fifty years ago.’

AZURE sky arcs over heathered hills, down past firths to a deep sea.

Kid’s Got Moxie
BERET:
CATTYwampus and fluorescent pink. Parka:
PUFFY, flashy, clashy orange. Kid’s got moxie, flair,
SPUNK-makes a splash. Zowie!

BERET-ce yourselves, boys, the gales be blowin’
CATTY-cornered to our path, and in a

SPUN-Klear around like a tornado and gone.
