the polka dot skirt
& white ribbed
crew socks
brought her
to my attention
before i knew it
she was
crewing off
a good portion
of my boiled ass,

will not stop reciting
your dumb, drunken
anti-u.s. of a
fleabag poetry
i signed a copy
of my book
& handed it to her
not to worry
i said,
this one is more
blasphemous
than drunk.
