The Burning Bush


“The Burning Bush” 

At the Burning Bush
the dance cards 
were passed 
from palm to palm 
the flowers plucked
from the wall by green
lounge lizards grinning
“music saved my life”, she said
“poetic”, the Comme des Garçons  
like a boy on roller skates said
circling like a shark with 
two in hand for what it’s worth
the Burning Bush girl remonstrates 
she understands,
“Tango Down? 
That’s not a question.
Now.” she demands
“It’s a right Charlie Foxtrot,”
he says skating backwards,
“Look at all that Chest Candy,
it’s enough to make you 
want to put on your 
Jesus Slippers.” Front on
she bats her eyes, like 
its a home run, she replies,
“It’s a real Soup Sandwich
out there Oscar Tango Mike 
the Alpha Charlie Ate-up Bravo Zulu
deploy your Sky Blossom,”
she says, back to the wall,
“Tango Uniform
Delta, 
Tango Down
Charlie Mike
Oscar Mike
Kaos captive, 
Agt 99, H.Q.
holding Control
down”
