#1.
They said
He was thick
fart/sphere of toxic Yellow Gas
surrounding
tiny
rocky core:
size of T-Rex’s Brain:
birdlike, but more penguin than crow.
#2.
They said
laws of physics
didn’t apply to
(t)His giant yellow self
He was terrific
His mesmerizing
ring of gold and sulfur
sharp enough to
kill any
curious or wayward astronaut.
#3.
They said
He was
the brightest bulb in the sky
(surely the yellowyest)
so muchly the other (jealous) stars and planets
hid
behind the nearest clouds
as He fell up & up & up & up
they huddled their moons around them.
#4.
We said
it ain’t too smart to give rides
on your back
to yellow planet-nest of scorpions
specially during floods
specially if you’re a kind ol green turtle planet
you did not listen.
#5.
They said
little moons shouldn’t take candy from
strange yellow planets
just because
from a distance they appear bright
their gold ring cocked slightly to the left
because they are most assuredly toxic.
#6.
They said
when he became
He demanded/decreed
that everything He touched
be Gold
or plated Gold at least
that everything
shine reflective
of Him.
#7.
They say
He used His (godish) magic
to turn block-chains into black-chains (again)
But we always knew betta:
Just another brightish planet
banking (on) us:
stacked like Gold
in hold of (t)His (space)ship
ready for another
deal.
