Special in Spirit
sonnet of Self after Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas Classic
Niko Nico’s soul is a rabbit hole that a little
girl is falling through & doesn't know what
to do & that hole is now in a washtub & that
hole is now in grandmother's bathing suit &
that hole is now in horizon point where moun
tan top meets valley bottom & that hole is
now in mother-of-pearl toilet paper guitar of
rock and of roll that's now one remote control
& the little girl thinks she sees a mole, but it's
an otter swimming through waves of purple
wind & the strings of the gales are signified
by the sound of worms moving through the
little girl who thinks whose sole hole does this
one even belong to?
