Dirty Bucket
When I wrote it down
I could see that it was a silly thing
to have on a bucket list.
Something to forever keep to the self
(low hanging fruit pocked with worms).
Never to be touched by anything but hell.
No different than licking a muddy butterfly
Walking along the spine of a charred-out
bible passage cornice.
A silly thing to pursue...
but for the moment
a paramount desire.
Like washing dishes in champagne and candlelight.
Licking a horde of margaritas
rimmed with barbed wire
then passing out on the breast of
a coconut oil avalanche.
