CARNIVAL

Ferris wheel revolves
velocity and glow,
a kaleidoscopic adventure

and screams of glee
heard ‘round the grounds
duets with the singing carousel

which spins
to horse’s gallop
toward the house of mirrors

reflecting
shadowy silhouettes
of our clandestine embrace.

Dozens of you
touching me
hundred of times.

horny this a.m. and this is what ya get

no more sweet.
i love this place,
here,
you and me,
real: your balls
bang against my mouth
(where you belong)
my tits strain towards your ass,
my tongue wants to taste
all of you,
i arch beneath you
arched above me,
buttressed, pressing
together
(this is where i belong)
your cum across my face
in my hair, in my eyes,
deep down in my throat
your cum
in my heart.

Walmart Ladies

I’ve often wondered
Where the heavy set
Women at Walmart
Come from –
The ones that labor
Their slow
Slouched
Shuffled steps,
The ones that hunch
Over their carts
With their pastel
Elastic waistband
Pants
Drooping so
Indelicately.

I bet they come
Into the world with pinwheels
Anchored to balloon bouquets
Burdened by dumb
Headed ribbons and bows
Dragging with the levity
Of helium laughter,
Balloons that cannot
Surge
And bounce off of
Ceiling tops,
The ones that circle
In the idiot winds
With the listlessness
Of twisted strings.

I never understood the
Commonality of these women,
Their porcelain dog collections,
Their off color
Lipstick yawns,
Their floral
Patterned muu muus,
Their bad perms.

It seems to me
That the clocks in this store
Keep a synchronized count,
But forgive me,
Please beg my pardon,
But it’s just that
I’ve grown so intolerant
Of the way these women
Block every aisle,
As if they’re drunk
From the tonic
Of their own mutterings,
With their tempo as
Slow as
Slow fading rouge.

I’m scornfully judging
Every one that won’t budge,
And really,
I know that I shouldn’t,
But my courteous
Excuse me
Just went unlistened to
Yet again.

FRANKINSTEIN

Color coded complete with picture I.D.
We’ll teach you to be like us.
Give you a turtle neck or bow tie
You will be our kind of Mensch
Complete with certificate of authenticity
Credit rating and charge account,
Security, savings, and even disability.
We’ll teach you how to walk and talk
in circles as if you had some sense.
We will give you some brand named shoes
We’ll even call you Frank or Frankie
We gave you a brain doesn’t matter
Which for they all are just the same,
But why are you still reaching for
Flowers?
