No one bothered to explain
what about my dick
is so French New Wave
but I am certain
that a Shirley Temple consists
of one half cherry
one half lemon
and one half Beefeater Gin
which I have not drunk
since the Riviera
Hotel and Casino stood
like Atlas over the Las Vegas valley
and you could still marry
a second
cousin provided
you slipped the minister
a fifty dollar bill
it’s true
Thomas Hobbes has
several followers
so don’t read
any of the articles
Cosmo keeps publishing
about my skincare routine
which in no way reflects
upon my ability to lie
quietly on a pillow
with nothing
in my mouth
I am actually a happy person
every morning I consume
an affordable beverage
while reciting key
vocabulary words such as
knee high
sock
Plymouth
rock
concrete
block
ten inch
lock of hair on the head
of the angel whose job it is
to whisper in your ear
that love
is God
making you weak
so he can be
your protector
