the moon tonight is a watermelon
wedge [nothing impressive!]
i'm outside smoking a cigarette
and i notice in my neighbor
John’s driveway -his girlfriend’s
car -and i recall that time i was
out here with my dad and he popped
his head around and said:
"hey Mike, have you ever been with
a woman and the sex is so good but it's
just not enough?"
"Oh, hey John, have you met my dad?"
"hello, sir how are you?"
- tonight i just wanted
to come out here and smoke my damn cigarette
but here i am standing roughly 200 feet
from john’s bedroom, where for certain
he and his girlfriend are practicing alchemy
- trying to turn a shit-moon and a fuck
into gold.
