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