Learning 

It’s time to learn the real meaning behind the term germs,
kills worms especially when they spike a perm,
trying to destroy their sperm, while the climate may be warm.
Take notes, while I warn the young and old.
Scorns in the city where I was born,
to insulate your body with new winter thermals,
your college’s protest promos,
your essay was a no-go.
What are you teaching us, Mango?
Your normal body temperature is 98.6
on a regular basis.
You are healthy when you experience homeostasis,
your equilibrium stays in place, kid.
Now, when you go swimming, don’t forget the chlorine in there
is a special temperature for your perm,
so your hair stays wavy, regardless of the norm.
These homonyms we recite may cause your overbite
to stutter, because the words you utter
slip out like Parkay Butter.
Go call your mother on the thermophone knowing
you cheated with the encyclopedia she made
you study on — when you established manic behaviors,
that was normal, son.
Your life has been unquestionable to the eye,
why panic about life? You’re the only one who has experienced
Thermanesthesia of DYE.
The reason I wrote the terminology of their thermology
with a background in sociology
is to enlighten you with more homeopathy.
Now, who is my prodigy?
Lord have mercy on me.
No one received the thermograph of their email, because
your thermocode has caused a computer Covid virus.
No one believes you shut D.C. down already,
9/11, Bin Laden, Desert Storm, mumps and measles,
TMI. Must I go on?
You’re the reason I can’t move on.
All lives matter.
God dong — I am trying to stop cussin’,
you forget the goals I was working on.
So long.
