(From the collection "Seventeen and Seven Sixths")
not one of them little gals
knows how to be read to
I see Italy I see
France I see Gomorra
getting a good sand blasting
gardener’s kid tells me
the infrastructure failed
lying little nosebleed
I know it’s a big turtle
nobody knows whose side
you can buy back the dice jokes
with one good yellow inch
code hidden in the dressing
you gonna eat that hand?
but they see through their girdles
to the owner’s slideshow
I (sp?) think (sp?) sexy (sic)
he said is a big flame
black where it has to be seen
red at the memory
blue where it touches green
learning to speak albino
