I unironically like this poem. Hotdog water baptism is a funny image, as is imagining the logic that thinks it should be used instead of holy water. The fact that the author doesn't even know the logic makes it better. The meaning behind it is a mystery that almost seems solvable, so our imagination runs wild filling in the blanks.
This is pure brilliance of creativity and curiosity mixing together in the magic of the web & I am buoyed by it, to be optimistic another day - thanks to all who made / posted
Chiasmus...A B B A
Is this where ABBA got their name from? Mind blown.
Not really, no. ABBA is the first letters of all the band members' names, arranged as a palindrome.
Although, chiasmus is kind of a grammatical palindrome if you squint real hard. So in that sense, kinda.
Who cares about poetry.
