a poem based entirely on episode descriptions of “America’s Funniest Home Videos”

A rat attacks a doll.
A dog retreives a ball
over a fence,
A new father faints
in the delivery room.

Wrestling kittens
People suddenly losing their clothes
Camera-shy dogs and horses
Frolicking farm animals.

Graceful belly-flop
Bodybuilder back-flips
Lizards as earrings.

Also: dancing caterpillars.

A dog plays piano
A boy tries to flee his shadow
A bride reconsiders
A man and beached boat.

A beat cop hits the streets–
Literally.
