vagina monologue

vaginas are made to last til  90  then they  collapse

or some such thing  though i have a sister who has

treated hers to the finer things

spas

met all the best people

a giant of elasticity  if i do say

i was right there beside her when her first child

popped out  everyone was so interested in him

they abandoned her

but not me  no  i valiantly helped her on with the

fishnet undies  provided by a nurse  yes fishnet!

and i must say:

her vagina

looked like

a million bucks

that day

watching a play about the Russian revolution

in a 5 layer non-woven   black iron mask

hyperventilation   +saliva-death

mouth gobidesert-esq   not pretty   a woman

in the next seat  having a medical event  dinner

first     1 decrepit family     over there

looked very Russian prole   life imitates  art

that cannot match the deathknell  for oldendays

goldendays?

before all of the 10,000 things were lined up

in front of proteinspikes  in the billions  good-bye

old life    🔅🔅🔅

hello  pretending to enjoy all of the pleasureless

pleasures  remember when we sat so close together

b.o. might catalyze the gag reflex?

Spring 2022 ..with millions of vaccines soon to expire

scale of loss is shrouded in secrecy..

(Toronto Star April 17/22)

they who taught me to wordle

Jason & Kelly  my bro and sister

are riddled

+covid

too many discos

and rub n’ tugs

(gotcha!)

no  just minding their own business

perhaps one in-door unmasked dinner

too many?

no   truth is we are all about to dance with

the coviddevil   unseemly +mucous   yes

you + me

so how do we  move forward?  masked  +spittleweary

marching to a different future  the one we  never

imagined   in wildwet dreams

hands up if u think  had u known this was coming

u would have smoked one more cig?   run off with

chauncey the gardener?

i mean would it have killed u to throw caution to

the wind?  this won’t kill u either  now that there

is more Pfizer in your veins   than life itself

a friend’s parents fought Germans at Warsaw

another’s screamed in the suburban night  nightly

and i can’t say  ghetto!

back to blacksonavitch  regal  27 inches at the withers

black eyes + pawnails   not standard issue   he was

hybrid

humanpoodle  rode a toboggan   hide+seek  a fave

except we always knew where to find him  same closet

where love letters hidden  +found

blacksonavitch  why is she having an affair with our

greasy elvis doctor?  blankstare  +sphinx  tiny smile

c’mon child  you’ve seen enough for one day  lets play!

the game:  here lies blacksonovitch  covered in small bro’s

vomitous blanket   he was a fine man   the real dogfuneral

and bludgeoned the too happy crossing guard

at Queen+Shaw  to death

O the mammalian ludicrosities!

Spring 2022  ..finally over Mick..

Age-itator? Age-itraitor?

NO  i do not have a problem with  AGING

fer chrissakes  it’s just a passage of time thing   people!

always leaning melancholic  introvert+limpid  in a

world where:  SILENCE is golden  dead

along with:

God

the supply chain

+parts of Ukraine

did i ask to know  that each decade’s passing  nails u

to the cross-road   time takes a cigarette   time takes

a lifetime    time the consummate taker

takes ferociously

as i ruminate  people around me say: you have a problem

with AGING !  protesting too much against my cassandramouth

potty-confessions

professions of poignancy

TIME is grief   i am here  in this veinybody  spent  spatout

still ticking    +almost prancing  with the  dark prince 👠👠👠

DYING IS NOT FOR SISSIES !

u heard it here
