INTERLUDES
Green thumbtack hiding in brown rug
Waiting to ambush naked toe.
Clinton's southern voice
is similar to Bush's wrinkles:
Deep.
His finger held its tiny nose
and went inside her.
Is there a darker color than black?
If there is,
that's the color sheep
my first child will be.
I'm in bed fingering the dark.
Ask me how buck toothed Ted Kennedy is.
Put it this way,
when Ted's wife is giving him head,
she can feel his teeth on her scalp.
I removed a booger from my nose
the size of a boulder.
Since then I can't remember a thing.
Face pressed against broken windshield,
listening to the jaws of life.
God lit a cigarette
and watched
as Martin Luther King, Jr.
was shot down.
