It isn’t fair      they are saying
laughing      he came from the north
expecting snow      now look at him
with that
           nozzle
Matti did you stack
the milk with      the dates going
backwards?      I did but isn’t
it strange

New poetry by Matti Spence.

The Oddity

Funmaker then actually seemed amused. “What’s the matter, you never saw Cool Hand Luke? He ate forty!”

“Gary, those were fucking eggs, Cool Hand Luke ate forty eggs not gizzards!”

“Same thing bro.”

“Also, Cool Hand Luke is fictional! He is. Not. Real.”

Climax broke in, “Jeezus EJ calm down. You’re gonna herniate yourself. Forget about the fucking eggs and gizzards already.”

Chapter 2 of EJ Spode‘s novel The Oddity.
