scatterproof twisted spin

the twist integrates my atoms
so that fucked upness keeps me
together. if only i could get to
the same mindset about all these
boiling suns trying to tear me apart.

like your almost ex for instance
the way the kindle cries for fire
or a face full of halogen.
if you can find the switch
i'd say turn it on.

the beach awaits
beside iris seas
floating serenely
on the world's skin

 desiring kama sutra oil
  we walk a pimp gauntlet
getting eyed and good eveninged
by barry white voices, saturday
heels striding the concrete carpet
of the xxx adult superstore. show no fear
good evening them back, sway as
 i open the door all  liberated
tho you will be paying
for the clearance
 item we are directed to
 by a sweet boy
who doubtless drives
  the big blue F250
parked at the entrance

 . the oils didn't
do so well,  we stuck them
over there.

we search for the smell of eucaplytus
in a narrow ailse stuck away from
the rows of dildos and vaginas with famous
porn star photos promising
 "authentic"  a pert blond squeezes
by wth a scuse me .    scuse me.  she says again
going to and   from the office
in the back.
the oils  are all too expensive
but the clerk offers us ten percent off.
we want the oils.
 that's why we're in drew park tonite
three  porn videos dominate the shelf
behind the register and the blonde comes up
to the counter with strawberry shortcake
is it a party?you eye the cakes.  she giggles.
three bi racial couples copulate on  tvs.
a thin woman in black stilettos minces
down the video ailes looking for a pole to hold.
peeps shows in the back. the gauntlet
out the glass has dispersed somewhat,
the bouncers are  eating shortcake while a couple of  pimps
slide into a malibu  and tricked out old skool chevy with
skinny tires and small bullet proof windows.
i wonder who she's waiting on
you say of the woman in the white dress
and  white stripper shoes we saw when we came
in and  who's still in the parking
lot,  but now she's eating
 strawberry shortcake. she's waiting
i say for a sale.
you laugh as we exit
the lot in our big cadillac
i wonder how much she costs?
oh prolly more than you got left
but  hey there's   a  discount
 if you come early.
