Tattoos in Mayberry
95,184 poems read
Everyone says, I'm the prodigal child. I've got the world by the tail.
My future's assured.The world is my oyster
Odd, how this hole in my heart is gaping.
I try to ease my pain and uncertainty.
Assuage these empty feelings by dating.
My goal is to hunt and flirt and boink wild beasts
I don't dare identify
My autonomic system responds, heaving, gasping,
clawing, grunting,cooing, moaning.
til spilling my seed inside those willing.
When I'm spent, I can't help but wonder
what kind of animal am I?
.
Then she speaks to me in braille
but I am deaf and dumb
She whispers her sign language to me
but I am blind.
Her religion holds promises.
of far away places leading nowhere.
She's indebted to a covenant that died
centuries ago.
Who is this succubi who now shares my last name?.
Ravenous for touch, and a meaningful connection.
We drink from the cup of plenty with holes in our gullets.
We devour gourmet food, with a leak in our stomachs.
We look like the same species
but, is that just another illusion of faith...
Our bones connect to, sinew
Sinew. to
flesh
Flesh to a heart beat.
Hearts pierced by arrows.
Tomahawks embedded deep
in our skulls.
Lance impaling my ball sack with
thrusters.
Still, folks say and I want to believe
I am lucky to be the ninety first car in a ninety car pile up.
The travelling salesman away on business
during a five alarm fire consuming my house
That my succubi children will someday understand
the struggles I went through
to keep this unholy union
from collapsing before the ink on our marriage certificate had dried.
I've now been thrown back
into the mad shuffle of dating
Like dating, The Tarot is notoriously mysterious
but there is no' bad seed' card.
Or wrong turn card,
nor a warning, no trespassing, do not enter card.
but there should be.
If there was a misfortune card in that deck
called the upside down nightmare card.
It would surely be my totem card..
the upside down nightmare card
is my American Dream
