Q: Why could the manager of a Red Scare-era waffle house curry no favor with the HUAC?

A: He was suspected of syrup-titious intent.

Last summer, Chris Peebles engaged in a bold experiment to slough off all inscriptions from his tabula and generate a purely spontaneous kreation. The debate remains--especially within Chris himself--if such an act is even possible or worth pursuing in vain. Nevertheless, Peebles continues down this path today with the second installment in an as yet indeterminately-lengthed series of experiments. While Chris refused an interview this time around, he issued the following statement regarding "Spontaneous Kreation: Experiment 2":

percussion's percolated
     just below
          the surface for some
       time now
       time to
               tap the vein and bleed
                    it
                    out within
               close
                         quarters
       of persisting tension

Poet's Korner

"They don't serve principles off the chuck wagon"

In those days Salt

Creek's economy

diversified from

mines with the first

wafer fabrication unit

as the population

grew it

was time to

become a two-

horse town

wasn't long before

a new trader set

up a storefront

Joe they called 'im

folks said

Joe

provided cattle-

baron quality at ranch-

hand prices

I remained skeptical

and loyal to

the merc as towns-

folk flocked to

Joe's shiny new shoppe

that trader

Joe could teach

ol' Frank Ybargoikotxeberritxea

a lesson in herdin' sheep

One fateful day, I suppose it was inevitable, I

couldn't get across the now-congested city center.

Might be high time for Salt Creek to get one of them

fancy underground iron horses, but I digress.

The reality was I had an emergency date with some

mediumhorns in the Food Desert and needed provisions pronto.
I'd sooner be six feet under in a pine box than be a patron
to the new trader, but what choice did I have?

With a sigh, I stepped across Joe's threshold.

I'm embarrassed to admit how quickly my reluctance

and reticence evaporated under the tungsten bulbs.

Principles be damned! Living by one's ideals seemed

a luxury when faced with those price points.

Buy-one-get-one mango sorbet pops?

Economical Italian luncheon meats?

I'll never pay more than two bucks American for cowboy caviar again!

And Joe's cut flowers? Just the splash I need in 

my otherwise dust-colored life.

I couldn't help

but shake

my head and say

that trader Joe's not so

bad as I licked

my parched lips

little did I know

I was

two hours

to the

nearest human

settlement with nothing

but a canteen full of cookie butter...

Aftermath Korner

If you're a regular Korner reader then you certainly saw yesterday's nearly unintelligible post entitled "Dcjcisk dnskdkfod lakflv" and were likely a bit mistified by it. Even with our penchant for experimentation in mind, you may have found the post pretty out there. To clear the air, we do have an explanation. But we do also respect that some of us may not want an explanation. In deference to those who wish to comfortably inhabit uncertainty, we present a reversed version of the aforementioned explanation in the image below so that even a passing is unlikely to reveal a "spoiler." For those who choose to know what the heck happened yesterday, simply hold your screen up to a mirror to decode the image. For the rest of you, go back to whatever it is you do when you're not reading The Kreation Korner. Transmogrify (or don't):
