The Handsome Young Bottleneck
What do you say to Garth Asteroid and his pull down metal hat?
there are fields of the never filmed in your loops?
that and point out the expired copyright on his smack light
he took that badly and fired an Arab man-salvo in Sweet-n-Low flechettes
shaving his adaptive arms to the lye pits of the Jesus crevice
once drumk enumpf revealed the deleterious deals he was floating
he had long since herded like Sluggo would a dot
the unguarded shoals of the Arctic lilting tollbooth
keeping our shores bear free in a Piltdown line and rising
then to annihilate ants with a Ferris scope
and the eloquence of stupors
I see his jeans clamped to a trestle on the face of Maris Pedestal
where the give it the throttle boys then browsed a patch
better had cover your built-ins in lip balm to be safe
that ticking denotes a philanthrope
in the afternoons they affect a calligraphy pose
trying to digest all of the dunes we as deaf kids whittled to
the size of a cat-herd with the wood glue backordered
what we do in the nest is practice
when we ramble across the chart it’s serious
a blowback actor in love with a meter sheathe
there’s a teaspoon of triplet you have to drain
if it comes up black we’ll let it burn then capture its destiny
build a snow big bertha in the chill of the Persian sundog
red as a mountain of no regrets out on the town with Turgenev
he’s the kind of ruffian that befalls the damaged peeps
thus the gun stall in Six Flags Over Boot Hill and I dine with a sister
of the Ten Gallon Order but insinuate nothing more than Dodsworth
on the strain and leaking swanky
this business of the missing caviar giant baffles
but the more they scream the greater its power to exhilarate slabs
come in and let them review your breath
just saddled to go among the leases
the holding pews stuck up to Planet Blasted
with a handful of some bent nickel
