Calisthenics 1, Week 9

I am here practicing the 'call and response' in Ch. 3. I tried to synthesize various journal entries in the hopes that comical juxtapositions would arise.

She has long droopy breasts, not perky
like a teen girl in a porno lick,
but not flabby granny-breasts - deflated balloons,
nipples still succulent, with a wide dark-brown areola, perfect radii.
Why so serious Dick? Does female sexuality scare you?

Toss them overboard, for the fish in the bowl.
Insurance money, check. Food in the bowl.
6lb carne de puerco salada burrito.

Everyone dead, throats crushed, water-gnash-larynx,
no more laughter, drifting away, too long.
I got the Bible and the Gun. One of these is gon’ work!

  1. I love the first one Osa, it really does work with the comical aspect of this technique! The woman having incredibly droopy breasts, but then the question of female sexuality is perfect because you wouldn’t exactly think of someone with sagging breasts in a sexual way, or that they would be a sexual person because they have let themselves go. You also do an amazing job of actually describing the breasts in a comical way, bringing in the image of an old woman’s boobs and comparing them to deflated balloons. I think you applied this method to the first one in such a great way!
