Alphabet Laws

I remember the alphabet
like I remember
the world-
backwards and
random:
zippers zinging zodiacs!
yuppies yelling yes!
xanadus xenoning xus!
winds wailing whales!
vepras veering vertical!
universes unveiling universities!
trees tethering triceratops!
sleepers simulating sex!
ringers raising roses!
queens quoting queers!
pastels portraying paint!
omnivores owning owls!
nostrils needling noses!
mattresses manipulating martians!
liquor lipped lectures!
koalas kindling katsup!
jackels jabbing jinxes!
instruments initiating integrals!
hypnotics hypothesizing hyrdonics!
gorillas gargling gossip!
fish frolicking finks!
eagles emancipating engineers!
disks doling deadness!
cars cabooing carts!
bubbles bursting blasphemy!
amphibians analyzing animals!

unholy is the bugger who
disobeys
the letters of
the alphabet
and the law of
the letters
set here,
in stone.
