Laughing Gravy
The crisis has just passed. Uh oh, here it comes again, looking for someone to blame itself on, you, I… All these people coming in… The last time we necked I noticed this lobe on your ear. Please, tell me we may begin. All the wolves in the wolf factory paused at noon, for a moment of silence.
Laughing Gravy - meaning Summary
Crisis and Awkward Intimacy
The poem juxtaposes a recurring, vaguely named crisis with intimate, awkward moments and surreal imagery. Voices shift between collective and individual perspectives, moving from blame and anxiety to a request for permission and a casual domestic detail. The final image—a factory of wolves pausing at noon—creates a paradoxical mix of industrial routine and animal threat. The result is a short, elliptical poem about disruption, social ritual, and the uneasy slippage between comic and ominous tones.
