Crazy Shirley Writes with Her Teeth, Lips and Tongue
When? says Crazy Shirley,
is the dreadlock on that bucolic
hot-giggle
Samson man
gonna just fall off?
He’s been dipping it in
beef stew and sugar
all day,
fahrenheit been hitting the top of the bulb!
He’s in a ubiquitous position,
’cause Bob Marley’s not in the general vocabulary
of this fraternity.
He’s kinda mucous-tasting and fecund.
His face? Chalk-white and he uses
a kitten in the morning for a wash cloth.
Hippopotamus?
Yeah
They’re heavy.
Sure.
And a goldfish is gutteral
while an owl
sorta chortles and
whooooooos.
I’m not that keen on bucolic,
but
I got a Ticonderoga tintype
that’s got the most fantastic hue!
