YIKES, my dear Androo of that other continent-----you haven't just written a
poem, you've committed a FESTIVAL of ALL ART. We can hardly permit you to
classify this as a snap. No. Let's ask Patrick (him being the only one
awake in the UQueendom rite now) no no no, PMcM's prolly asleep with his
hands around VB's white plastic funnel thingie. Robbie Rob mite be awake,
and he'd know what to call this if it is not----and it is NOT---a "snap."
You downwidat? I'm sayin, bro, I'm trooly sayin. We go'n rescue you from
the word "snap" rite on this petcLand thang. We go'n call your thang
somethin like "Pull my coat in the middle uh muh neck." Or maybe, "My nose
wide open n you didn't even check it out." Something rite rhymey like
those.
ROBBIE ROB WHERE ARE YOU?!
My best to U, Androo, U riffin rapper!

they catch in the guttural
and down the disdain,
they lighten up the littoral
and clarify the pane
they rebop the bebop
and slop your slippage
they can't let you sleep
you're on their night's edge
so take down your sycophants
and dust off the clues
they're rapping time's rants
with the tongue of your shoes
