an uncompromisable panic attack laundry list:
a boho beatnik tuned-in psilocybin inner-space minibus,
a slow-twitch self-adhesive Van Allen Belt,
a tandoori comfort food tailgate party noir,
the Watson-Crick genetic code of
anti-psychotic Spanglish hive-mind,
a thalidomide cancer-stick software inbox,
a smart-ass think-tank solar wind nanosecond,
an inner-city NOLA bariatric
knee-jerk Bigfoot nutter,
an anti-nuclear self-denigrating sex-kitten
with a short fuse!
(According to the “Time-Traveler by Merriam-Webster” website, all of the above words — with the obvious exceptions of “a, an, of, the,” and “with” — are first known to have been used in 1958.)
