glad-hand man…

comes well equipped
a clarabell clown smile
painted on a gq face
spontaneous loud laughter
though inappropriate 
is
a programmable feature
and can be transitioned
into a whiny
faux concerned tone
with a series of
empty platitudes expressed
once laughter fails
as
a manipulative
joints are
fully articulated
and coordinated with
contrived smiles
laughter can also be
initiated by pushing
societal buttons
equal rights
patriotism
or
anything labeled
contrary to internal
prejudgment apps
a-greeting app
includes two modes
bra detection embrace
with gentle back rub
or
macho handshake with smile
grip strength is equivalent to
burping a baby’s bottom
please note
several models
are available
in various colors
but rest assured
they have the same
internal components

 

 

opportunistic optional heritage…

the brown bag prophet
was listening
to national news
as he sat outside
a sidewalk cafe
in downtown central
he said
as i passed by
have you ever noticed
that some folks
deny
their heritage
until
it can be used
as the coin
of the realm
and then
suddenly
they’re
blacker than black
more latino
than che guevara
talk about playing
the race card
for self-promotion
oh
and i
understand
mr. obama’s
got a new
candidate for the nsf
she’s
latino
this
week
