Once Upon a Vagina
There once was a lovely vagina. But one in the world had been finer. So delicate, white, pristine and uptight, it's as if the thing were bone china. And a haughty twat 'twas. No place, this, for fingers or fuzz. It lived all alone, never anyone's home. No visits, and…
Profanity - (lalochezia)
There is and/or are a whole library of words I can't say anymore. Discarded and disregarded like last year's style to the stale closet floor. All curses, bombasts, withering rails, raving lunacies, angry spells and jinxes, set to become ancient antique ambered pests, monumental, continental sphinxes. I can no longer…
The Ideal Budweiser Customer Watches a Budweiser Commercial
Oh shit I love “Landslide” I was going to get up to piss but then I heard me some Fleetwood Mac. Hey that's a pretty farm, too. Farms are dope. Wait, oh goddamn it it's a baby horse lying in some fucking sawdust. That baby horse is so cute I…
Gomorrah’s Sins
Good evenin' Vicar. I must say the flowers in church were grand today. Yer sermon choice—it did inspire— “Gomorrah's sins”—had me on fire! It's been so long since I were 'ere— I think it were about ten year ago that we last met— and parted then in such a fret!…
Untitled (“The dog and I are watching the debate…”)
The dog and I are watching the debate The way we do: Chinese food for me and a cocktail for her She nibbles on her olive and says how it was in her day After all, she's 13—born when a Republican was in office Born in a small conservative village…
Bad Buddha
At the Mahayana meditation retreat I want to eat steak and smoke Havanas. I read a book called Rebel Buddha but it isn't rebellious enough. I am a Buddhist the way a Mafioso is Catholic. Instead of rival gangs I kill cockroaches and mosquitoes. I don't care if they're your…
Ulysses of Astoria
It profits little that I leave my shovel in the shed to rust unburnished like a sword no longer swung in drunk delight of battle. Nor will my own gray mettle rest content in idleness—these aged arms deserve some work of noble consequence. With all the sinewed strength of former…

Poker After Dark
Dreamed I played poker with a poltergeist I raised him once…and he called me twice When the hunchback came, he was a little bit late First he bumped the bet, then he caught a straight Along came a mummy, that I once knew He played three hands, then he folded…
Tampon Bullet, Direct Hit
(An accounting of humiliations in no particular order) Remember that time when I ran outside to catch the garbage truck as it rumbled up the street and I realize too late (of course) that my nightie is tucked up in the waistband of my big, white, granny panties? I might…
Dick Candles
They arrive in a box. A housewarming gift. Six multi-colored phalluses, an erotic rainbow. Priapic wax sculptures with anxious white wicks protruding proudly from smooth soldier helmets. I dare not attempt to discover if they are scented. Unconventional gifts present their own dilemmas. Where does one place such perverse, yet…
