DRUG
LOVE IS THE DRUG WITH A SHELF LIFE
My young friend + I commiserated after jerk lobster the other
night About other jerks one’s we had loved and not so much
I recall the phrases: Monogamy sucks It’s not even natural No
it’s all about religion +opiating the masses Warriors knowing
who their sons are Israelites figured who’s your mama? moot
The Nazis too If your mama a Jew that was the end of you
Other subjects came up too: Entropy of lady parts +Viagra (even
Tiger Woods has a stash a big one) Wanting a 1 bedroom with Netflix
Tortured whispers of: If I just had one week on a beach/yr. That’s all
I’d need To stay One of us thought 2 weeks a better option And it likely
would be To then re-contort yourself into the positions of the cross u bear
To be there
Now lumpen proletariats of love Lumped in with the rest Whose divine spark
hot wired to the waiting cab outside of an apartment The one in your mind’s
eye where the young James Taylor +his cat live James when he had that thin
moustache He smiles +crooks his finger And mouths your husband’s name
__
My love is a hummingbird
Sitting that quiet moment on
the bough
As the same cat crouches
(Charles Bukowski Love Is A Dog From Hell 1977)
Spring 2018 in full bloom +here comes the first hurricane severe weather watch in progress but i digress..
