There was a time —
boy was it a time —
when I was sent
to the heights
of sexual gratification
in a Holiday Inn
in Moncton, New Brunswick
without the face of a man
What is the allure
of The Lime Green
Prom Dress?
Answer:
Add a carrot
& You’ve got
Flaming June
Eye have a Doctor
in My Bed
and nice to Me
He is not —
He sleeps & sleeps
upon His Head
which I could grab —
is He Hot?
Oh Yes He Was Great —
The Great Man
that He Thinks He Is —
He Satisfied My Every Desire
and repeated himself
endlessly
Eye have My Princess Dress
in Lime Green Satin
sequined of course
with exposed crinoline lining
in multiple layers —
It was for Some Girl’s Prom
but Eye will make of It what I will:
Sex On A Hilltop
in The High Meadow Grass
filmed
Eye asked Dr Schweitzer
if I should have
“Two” X Husbands
and Eye answered
My Self:
ONE is bad enough.
He’s only one beach walk
away —
Eye could trip over
The Asteroid Belt
Eye could manifest
My Self
like Venus
at The Edge of Sea Foam
dressed in My Black
LL Bean
one-piece
Eye could

Me in
with sex
drugs
& money —
& not that much money
either
The trick is to hold Your Power
over someone’s head
without bashing in
His Skull
Eye understand that Dr William Hunter Blair
does not consider Himself
“A Bad Guy.”
This is how He sees His Self,
therefore He is NOT
a “Bad Guy.”
Eye can forgive Him.
I can call The Truce because
Eye know He can
and will
Live With Himself.
