Mine's Bigger

MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS 180516

Once his erectile dysfunction
settled in for good his
tongue began to grow so that
when she kissed him
she sucked and sucked and sucked until
it grew and grew and grew
so that he could say
to other men
mine's bigger than yours

Panties resemble pants
only briefly
during the morning threading
legs through the scant
plurality passing as pair.
By morning, the mocha lace
will dutifully hammock
this person's vulva
in secret decor. Most days
lace and coffee is enough.

Mike asked "Are you saying
Trump isn't human?" after
I joked about a species
Lower than Bushes.

But Trump is demonstrably
species Take Take Take
homosapien. If he were
more interesting, say, a talking fern,
that would be meet for coffee
worthy. The story of Trump
in comparison disappoints.
Grab and suck. Lie. Repeat.

Grey day slips by lit by Twilight Zone's
third season. Jezebel
spots up after midnight
in a bad love bargain.

"How did you pay?" asks mother.
"With my heart. And my head.
And soul. And my sleep."

That covetous pretty
could have used a lawyer.

Stupid insomniac quit
fidgeting. Mulling. Succumb
to quilt your fractured genius,
flashlit query. Drop the clutch
and nevermind the pearls
That roll free from its broken
Seam. Whatever nightmares come
Will come. Insomniac, be still.
Prone. Quiet. Perchance to dream.

for this one - I like it

Why stop at 50?

Of course x axis first.
Corrected, blushing,
the face names quadrants
X first now but the unquiet
brat brain stamps its foot
Who sez? Why not Northwest?
Beginning at ground level left
logics perfectly when grid expanse
unrolls just ahead. We must
begin ground left because
math is still being written.
Sure, makes sense if
Math would only lie still
and flat, binary strapped.

Jackie's dolls stare just past
Atlas's shoulders, or, through
lashes, past the bible's belt.
The dolls are inevitable
as muscle memories for drink.
Walk. Dance. She snaps from air
that particular evening's sweat,
rolls our salts in wallpaper
tongues so that they may better
speak.

TOO MUCH 180516

There’s too much
daylight im sommer and
too much dark
im winter, too much
too much to bear

are they in the woods

sure they are, we
know they’re there yet
some go down to picnic with them

it’s too much
too too too much like a
walking, talking jazz line by Eddie Harris
yeah but

there ain’t
too much monkey business, there’s
not enough monkey business you can
monkey with my business
any time hun

any time is time enough to
monkey with my business but
not too much

enough is as good as a feast, Granny said
everything in moderation not too much, stream
of consciousness a river
runs through it

How I envy your loose stride.

What blanket hides the clicker
or, what cat? Uncradle prong
from plug. Let night be black.

Plucking numbers from the cooling
expanse of immediate pasts,
Luck's suitors sew paper pocket ships
all down the lotto line, practicing
combinations that click yes
finally. Yes! Just ahead the open
chest nested in dragon ribs
dares the suitors to add
all the sidewalk cracks
that might have broken mother.
Today for sure. This year. This dollar.

Deserts don't sustain
grassy narratives. Unbruised
sand won't answer
who crossed, where walked,
what said, when came,
how left.

Deserts remember only wet.
Last rain. Last blood.

However, see below where Cherry has had some advice on this site.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

Cool site! I may give it a go.

 

[chris2c4u]

Cool site! I may give it a go.

Good for you! So might I but I'm terrible with prompts, I think my brain freezes up.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

Hmm. Confirmation email was all ads. Might be too good to be true.

 

[chris2c4u]

Darn. Maybe I hadn't looked close enough.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

Take back my criticism. The ad email might have been coincidental.

Ah! Good. Poetry, the roller coaster ride

Unable to access. Could it be an email fishing endeavour? I advise caution until someone who has used the site reports back.

OK thanks for checking it out I'll modify my post with that advice.

 

[cherries_on_snow]

Yup. Lesson learned. Never swim on dry advice.
Still-- good idea for a challenge. Like a daily caption. You should launch it here!

In 40 minutes I'll submit the backside
left hand to blacklit stamp
admission to a wordless room.
Maybe differently languaged.
throbs and brush pasts morse
code beads at first. Inevitably,
summer wins. We sheen.
Reggae base commands all hips
to sway or figure eight
or grind tomorrow's coffee
dark and fine.
