flu-like symptoms

mr peanut's skeleton corpse

yellow and brittle in the moon's pocket

a green cloud of smoke

the turniquette of fear delivering

it's secret ingredients

standing at the jeopardy podium

alex trebek dressed in pink mouse hide

barking answers at the camera

mr peanut knows this question:

jamming his fist onto the buttons

"what are, 'expensive little pieces'"

his body full of darts

he staggers to the edge of her bed

green smoke billowing out

the young mr peanut

raw and sticky inside

a wonderful hopeful feeling
