Where's an Offisa When You Need One?
The haze-Krazy Kat wanders, wonders
Under monumental forms, orange-peel moon,
Clean desert surreality, ponders thunders
In thought, brainpan like steel balloon.
No haughty thoughts can reach her; nature
Smiles on her wiles like daffy taffy,
Still, lurks behind her a creature, hatcher
Of plots, mousecreant, crafty-chappie.
Brick bearer shadowcreeps, sparks arcs
From bright brain; Ignatz walks, balks
At no foe, cop or saint, through dark parks
He mutters lovehate as he talks and stalks
To send or signal his bent intent,
To penetrate her addled pate, sate
His connective zest, indent cement
Of her attention…he waits, distrait,
‘til she bends to pluck a desert flower. Hour
To strike, he hurls brick to fly high!
Clong like a gong on her head! Now her power
Is pronged, she weed-tumbles a-cry, awry,
Though Krazed, she’s unbroken, the token
Of his distressed interest impressed on her crest.
Yet set loose, a small heart unspoken is woken,
“Ain’t he a doll-link?” she’s blessed to suggest.

The wordplay in this is fun, but I can't figure out what's happening. As near as I can tell, someone is stalking a woman and eventually attacks her, but he does it out of affection, like how ten-year-old boys think playfully hitting a girl is the way to let her know he likes her. She doesn't seem angered by it, though. The accent implied in "Offisa" and the use of Krazy Kat specifically have me wondering if this is supposed to emulate that cartoon or even a specific event in it, but I've never watched it, so I wouldn't recognize it if it did. The rhymes are mostly good, and there doesn't appear to be an intended rhythm. It reminds me of one of those songs that has a catchy tune and fairly rapid-fire lyrics that you just kind of mumble through, but when you actually parse out what they are, the song doesn't really make sense. Something like "Ants Marching" by Dave Matthews Band. Enjoyable to read, don't know if there's a meaning behind it.
