Tag Archives: hubbub

a hub is a radial fulcrum of sorts

a city or hive or hq

a bub a generical person who snorts

or imbibes or’s on wolverine’s crew.

when this bub sends a package of boxer/brief shorts

via amazon or u p s

it will go through a hub-maze that squirms and contorts

and’s addressed the logistical mess.

it is networking guiding a shipment with quartz

wirelessly informing the bub

and bugs bunny bronx-cheering passage through ports

as the hubbubbed bub rustles up grub.

Sidebar: Reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man helps a bit with the density of Ulysses, and reading Ulysses helps a bit with the incomprehensibility of Finnegans Wake, but since I only got through some of Ulysses, and almost none of Finnegans Wake, the frustration I felt wrestling with Joyce led me to resolve never to task any readers or viewers of my creative works with excessive obscurity. But if you, the reader, didn’t know that in the Marvel Comics canon the adamantium-laced mutant Wolverine dismissively addressed friends and foes alike as “Bub,” and/or if you didn’t know that the shipping entity UPS calls major cities “hubs,” and/or if you didn’t know that Bugs Bunny, whose accent was crafted by Mel Blanc to be an aggressive blend of Bronx and Brooklyn, and who often asked a character “EEEeeehhh…What’s all the hubbub, Bub?!” you would have a tough time making ANY sense of this cobbled-up Cobb Word Salad of a poem, let alone the little sense it has.
