Free Verse

Yes Eye got Dr Blair

OUT

He doesn’t belong HERE

any more

if He cannot COME

on MY TERMS

Eye don’t want him

at all

JILTED

Eye made a painting

last November 12th

when I got jilted by Dr Blair —

First Eye spray painted

lurid pink & purple:

“Dr Blair can’t fuck”

then laid over

grey & black drips & drops

with His Silver Penis

ejaculating florescent orange —

It’s “The Graffiti Painting”

priced @ $58,000.00 Canadian

EVENT

Statuesque figure

shouldered an open doorway —

more nudists appeared

Lydia’s Birthday

What’s it worth

to fuck Dr Blair

on the beach —

I am too good for that

and He has another

girlfriend anyway —

so why would Eye want

to get My Crack

full of sand?

Non-convergence

This is My Nova Scotia Now —

with purple sheets and blanket

luffing on the line

I sit out on My Deck to watch

the yellow of new bamboo

along My Hedge

to bet I can no more

put up with the giving of My Self

Our Mermaid’s Tail

20 years ago She was His Patient

when She had an affair

with Dr Blair —

then She lived with Him

for 5 years

then They got married

for 14

and Divorced

to find both in separate places:

Hers on The Hawk

His to South Side

where They meet along the wide-open beaches

connecting

just to drive each other crazy

Your Place or Mine?

My legal Husband

is transformed:

He is My Boyfriend now —

and Eye have always wanted

one of Those.

The Shlong Asks:

Where Are My Ribs?

A Place for Marriage

There is a place for Marriage

in amongst the confessions

of many — The Vow

and if You break it

You’re in trouble.

 

My First Vow was “until Death”

and The Death was My Mother’s —

My Second

I don’t remember voicing

and the wedding itself

was an abomination.

 

Remake

Husband turned Me down

for the holiday weekend —

My Bed is for Me
