The savvy
gentleman, being no help,
will trick
food into the pan
and wait for freezing
snow to melt
rather than melt
the snow. The savvy
gentleman is freezing
to death. Help!
He would pan
for gold rather than trick
’r treat, or trick
’n’ cheat, melt
the gold down, and pan-
handle like a savvy
traveler, never asking for help,
even when freezing
to death. The ol’ freezing
to death trick.
Help!
It will melt
the heart of the most savvy
cynic, like Zamfir, master of the pan
flute. (The pan
flute, so cool it’s freezing,
chick-magnet of savvy
hipsters. Not.) It’s no trick
to melt
hearts on a help
line for self-help
addicts if you’re a pan-
like god. Will snow melt
hearts, freezing
unprovoked? Will early spring trick
the savvy
gentleman, eating a tuna melt? God help
us all, both the savvy and the pan-cake-eating,
freezing-yogurt-eating,
and other trick-food-eating masses.
