officially

by the date i have been 46 for
one hour and 38 minutes. but for
the spiral i've still got 7 hours
to go. and three minutes...

so whoo hoop it up! time
outta here like eggshells
in coffee. bitter gatherers.
the last romantic quarterly
needlepointed on this blank piece
of plastic. or plaster, paris,
the seine i could be anywhere
mostly amsterdam where he would take
me for a wild fuck weekend
then cut my throat with his flaccid
offerings: house in the hamptons
manicures on schedule, free range ostrich.
let's start on the wrong side of town
then scavenger hunt our way
to the french quarter where louis
armstrong sings duets with all
the other ghosts around the last supper
new orleans ever put on for the slaves.
we sorry boys but we just can't use ya
anymore. i hear they hirin up at the casino
on the river in one of them faux boats,don't
you worry they don't go anywhere
that's what faux means you can pick up
a broom can't ya, work for tips
in the bathroom passin out cologne keeping
the toilete paper rolls stockes, handing
out paper towels which works ok when you land a gig
at the lafayette royale on biker night where all the ladies
are tired of stiing on they ass for hours
wathcing they mid aged crisis husbands or new bf
in their 2005 harley s with porting
leather talssels and they one ear piecd liek the
fages usta do but now that's hip, so yeah, nice
chaps, nice ride, nice boodboob
job mam. niiiice. and he follows her
back to the alley where she's already
u[p against the wall, her round
curvaceous ass jutted
like the porw of his nam pilot boat where he shot
the big cannons over the field of green palms
and the napalm , sayhing nay palm.
that was no way to treat a lday
not the one who gonna take the five forom your hand
go down on one keee adn unzpi you.
she looks up with the eyes of angelina j
and says oh, this is so big
i need thwenty more
so by then you're all comitted
and she does, the slow sligh
sucking and you think tijuana and she thinks
bodello, and yo uthink c scales
and she thinks the next word,
dark and then ou sleep.
