A Cloud in Trousers

...ged ta-ra-bang, 
as though the hotel¡¯s teeth 
chattered. 

You swept in abruptly 
like ¡°take it or leave it!¡±

but soft, kiss-soft,
and sobbing sobbing
into their awful dog dish.

No point? No twist for you
in my white tunnel?
Let me speak plainly,
let me whisper it from the podium--

Mother, may I use your pseudonym?
May I take the dove named Mary
and shove out Anne?
May I take my check book, my holographs,
my eight naked books,
and sign it Mary...Read more of this...
