Atop windswept, telescope-spangled peaks, <br />astrophysicists interpret supernova explosions, <br />predicting widespread tulipmania preceding depravity. <br /> <br />Heliotropes co-opt Apollo's photonic splurge. <br />Saxophones erupt, spouting elliptical arpeggios. <br />Harpsichords loop spirophonic tapestries <br />upon rooftop amphitheaters. <br /> <br />Upended spatulas spin, disrupting hyperspace. <br />Parachutes whisper plutonium's scripture, <br />imploded temptress's psalm. <br /> <br />Republican politicos implement Operation Gipper: <br />Presidential replicants wallop dyspeptic poodles, <br />shar-peis, lazy whippets. <br /> <br />Unimpeachably warped pachyderms <br />spray tapioca, splattering hospital vampires slurping plasma; <br />bicuspid scalpels performing liposuction, rhinoplasty, lithotripsy <br />upon unsuspecting patients. <br /> <br />Alphabeteers practice Oulipian wordplay, <br />cryptically transposing pronouns, catapulting prepositions. <br />Hyperlinked synapses sprout multiple protuberances: <br />phalluses, rumps, nipples, proboscises. <br /> <br />Spielberg dispenses triceratops scallipini, <br />homespun velociraptor soup. Wampum-happy <br />cinematographers misrepresent Pocahontas. <br /> <br />Napoleon plays imperator, contemplating <br />Pythagoras, hyperbolas, trapezoids. <br />Oppenheimer's apocalyptic isotopes erupt. <br /> <br />Copernicus uproots Ptolemy's epicycles, <br />opening planetary crypts. Plumed serpents <br />repopulate pyramids; Zapata inspires <br />peasant uprisings. <br /> <br />Springsteen spray-paints <br />Prince's glyph upon souped-up Plymouths. <br />Rasputin perseveres, spoonfed narcoleptic pap.<br /><br />Bridgid Patrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dilapidated-epiphany/
