when you open your mouth what comes out?
nice words?
who asked you?
children seen not heard?
adults heard not seen?
mean words?
gurgling over the toilet?
spew mouth?
keep mouth closed
i love me?
open
cerebellum transporter
the 6 p.m. news Godzilla ate the Big Apple
i’m in New York city not King Kong
Sheila sang New York New York last night at Karaoke
i shot Saki in Singapore Karaoke bar
i’m not in the same apartment but the same building
my window looks at the Central Park but looked at the street
Charlie chocked on a wishbone
my left pocket is un-threaded
i travel in my apartment
say a place i’m there
Change of Wardrobe
tis the month to remove tattered leggings
pull nylons over me potholes
as winter grew fat and long
me thighs grew dry and plenty
fountain on me bidet with me pointers in the clouds
apply three Nair layers to me extremities
rip winter growth off
reach into me cedar closet
grasp five moth balls into each hand
release me balls
elevate me skirts out of me bottom drawer
polish silver bracelets
retrieve me bitched heart from me heart deposit box
consult fashion advisor for seasons’ color and fabric
Woolite me skirts
wash me in soapy waters .
spin and twist me garments
hang me skirts to dry on me window rack
frock-up
high-heel me P Street runway
April bless me Dupont Circle cherry blossoms
lip-sync me 17th Street tarmac
