Little Magicians
It was along 9th street by the block long row
of tennis courts
the little magicians made a short string
of two naked tattooed women
and not just any two women
the women that I almost but never really had
variously pranced and stood proudly posing
their tattooed body parts
my first wife with the most tattoos
and biggest, oversized, least appealing ass
I least wanted in real life in a physical sense.
It was her mind, a spiritual instinctiveness,
I lusted for and ultimately lost to schizophrenia.
The other, my first love, with the least
number of tattoos, and much smaller breasts
than I remembered, however changed
in this scenario, was still the body I most
consistently craved - they waved,
said hello, invited me come join them
but I could not, was unable to, cross
the street - the little magicians had made it so.
Cum Back Player Of The Year
Bugger made it back for the holidays
one of the greatest comebacks
in the annals indoor sports history.
Woke up. Did his job just like
he never left the game.
Made every twist and turn
like a seasoned Indy driver
knowing when to rev'er
up
when to slow down
on the turns
and hit the gas again
to cum across the finish line
and bring a smile to her face.
A Power Greater Than Myself
I'm riding the back of an elephant
seems like miles off the ground
the earth itself moves under my
behind and rumbles through my legs
I dare not question his or her direction
much less ask if he or she rememebers
where I'm being taken I give up my
will to the living thundering god
of the old testament that has become
a giant taxi cab with doors flung
open wide as we cut corners on our
way, I see it now, to the ocean where
we or I will take the bath of my life.
