WITH HER GRAY HEAD
begging me to suck her hair
to make a manifestation of myself
Michael with his mouth
full of senior citizen string
“Natalie, she taste like old upholstery”

——SERPENT CALLS ADAM A LAME DUCK FROM AN ALREADY GENDERED MUTT——
Adults living in fairy tales
Hair sucking in the break room
the outside skin turning inward
each man bigger
Norman Rockwell
never saw one so large
——ASKING YOURSELF, WHERE DID EARLY PEOPLE HIDE ? THE WORLD WAS SO MUCH BIGGER, SATAN WAS MORE THAN LIFESIZE, SATAN WAS ALWAYS READY TO DEVOUR, WHERE DID YOU HIDE ?——
sometimes surmounting nearly impossible challenges
trying to obtain a handgun on a Thursday night after midnight
the “dissolution” of our marriage to Heaven
ticket stubs of dead relatives
a petrified condom
——I SAW ROY ORBISON HANDING OUT COPIES OF “MOBY DICK” TODAY——
How old was Roy Orbison when he first said the word “homosexual” ?
Is it true he paid a friend to read “Moby Dick” to him ?
Innocent perceptions and feelings concerning the uncivilized character, perhaps ?
Possibly afraid that romantic desires might distract him from God and embroil him in the things of this world
Young Roy struggling to break through the confines of lust
“I am like no one in my world”
——the average person disappointed with life, dead people disappointed with Heaven (worn out motels without beds, a giant amusement park under constant repair, endless hesitation, sounds and smells from the Jesus tent, daily chuck wagon provisions prepared on a hotplate, amateur rap music, Spanish spoken over loudspeakers, nudists in need of robes, hemp with less than 3% THC, people taking showers with their underwear on)——
——WORSHIPING THE METAPHORICAL PENIS, LINKED TO VIOLENCE AND CREATIVITY, A WEAPON PEOPLE WANT TO TOUCH, TO CALL THEIR OWN, HAVING SEEN A MAN’S PENIS YOU HAVE SEEN HIS SOUL, HAVING SEEN HIS ERECTION YOU HAVE JOINED IN WEDLOCK——
Inside role as bearer
of meaning rather than maker of meaning
acceptable power relationships between lovers
as children before blowing out the candles
a wish about future sexual ratification
——SUITCASE WITH 56 POUNDS OF ADELE DISCOVERED——
AGREEING POINTS OF VIEW CONSTITUTE A TRUTH
partygoers whisper that she’s just a twig
waxing ecstatic about her lack of woman parts
IMAGINE ROBERT FROST WEEPING BECAUSE CHARLOTTE SMITH WROTE, “NATURE DELIGHTS ME MOST WHEN MOST SHE MOURNS”
sometimes when I open my stolen dictionary
I witness Mr. Frost sitting in the woods
watching the trees drop their leaves
he attaches a word to each leaf
——HANDCUFFED TO DEATH, GEORGE JONES THROWING ROCKS AND CURSING THE LIFE HE LIVED, THE LIFE HE LET SLIP BY——
THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE JUST THE PASSING OF GAS, NO ENUNCIATION JUST BUBBLES
NO SHOW JONES WITH A PILLOWCASE OVER HIS HEAD
STRIPPED OF MATERIAL PROSPERITY
NO SHOW JONES DECREPIT
HOLDING HANDS
WITH DEATH
CONVERSATIONAL POETRY
