69
What if one day in a fit of emptiness and metaphor
Gustave Flaubert gave up writing novels
and invented the Flowbee instead. What if he wrote
irregular strophes that seeped sideways
from his mouth, painting everything in your
midnight living room with huckster and flimflam?
“The Flaubert Flowbee!” Not sold in stores!
Guaranteed to crack your cauldron
bang out tunes and make bears dance
for the exact measure of your deeds!
Without stars! And without pity!
Non refundable! No money back!
Would we be the worse for wear?
Would we have to invent Bovary ourselves?
