Stuff the Distance Between Us

entry picture
In between evilly cackling I've taken two of the best minds of my generation and improved them by madness; naked hysterical madness (what else?)
 
But just who were these two bright young things before two became one, to paraphrase the spice girls in the absence of anyone more inspirational.  Look at the picture, read the poem and disentangle the poetry personalities:
 

Somewhere on the other side

of this wide night

When their chihuahua got stuffed
and the distance between us,

they were really chuffed,

I am thinking of you.

 

no need to feed her.

The room is turning slowly

or walkies on a lead her

away from the moon.

This is pleasurable.

no more poop to scoop

Or shall I cross that out and say

I don't know why we bothered

having her alive at all.
it is sad?

The two unfortunate poets were -
 

Margaret Atwood – They eat out
