the double meaning
once you were here
You never know what we'll churn up in cleaning a stall
the double meaning
once you were here
I’ve owned two finger rings in my life
my high-school orb that rattled around my bones
and a snug gold wedding band
each sending mildewed expectations
Mom never met Rachel
or the kids
yes, the spoiled prince and the virginal pussy
pul-leaze!
my ears grate
the striated penis
smiles
all the way to the end
screw me in the middle of the night
burn the bone clear
I’m still the skinny intellectual
regarding fairy tales
Dollar Bill’s
selfies
in oval frames
Can You
Cancun?
Cancun
Canoe?
Can You?


as an expletive
or even greeting
My proposal for a sure-fire hit:
Make it really basic, like instant pudding or ramen soup with tofu, but a step beyond peanut butter and jelly or frozen pizza.
What would you include?
