american triptych

jane from okie flats

jane left skid trails in the okie flats
across fossil remains of dust devils
and cigarette ash, marlboro lights
from the old man's will
her thumb was the master plan
the gateway to tomorrow
she sucked feverishly

******

big face

do it until it don't feel so good
nothing exceeds like excess
but what is it that you want?
big bite burger deluxe with everything you got
anything else?
hmmm...and a chik o' fuckstik supreme
more?
yeah that's it, more
i want more
but what will you do when you get it?
i'll do it again

******

he's a fucking genius man

he did it once and he did it again
he's a fucking genius man
blows bubbles with chewing gum
sticks pop rocks up his ass
he's a hoot twice removed
talks jesus in esperanto
writes poetry in morse code
he's a rhombus wrapped in a trapezoid
a mentalist - a southside swami
he's got a kirlian aura
wrapped in black crushed velvet
he works the cool drive in the night shift
he's a fucking genius man
