$$ Abomunus Craxioms $$
by Catfish McDaris
Mummies are dancers
alcoholics make root beer
jazz down the river
licking stamps
fat automobiles laugh
Men die become seagulls and fly
roaches are not happy
people are not very happy
People get sicker quicker
the sky is the way out
laughter sounds orange
reality xists
“$$ Abomunus Craxioms $$” is based on the poem of the same name by Bob Kaufman, found on page 306 of The Beat Book: Writings from the Beat Generation.
