Lizard Woman

lizard woman skin pulled tight like an artist's canvas

from boredom and the noon day sun

lipstick smeared on worm thin lips kissing each other

cigarettes in a leopard skin bag

reading Readers Digest on the Kennedy clan

and Rasputin's hold on the last Czars'

“be a darling, and put more lotion on my back.”

and the whispers along the beach

about teenage lovers and secret bank accounts

.................from At The Beach

Waco Sedan... the impeachment of Donald Trump

the woman in the top right hand window... the impeachment of Donald Trump

I feel like bacon.
The sizzle all down the back
of my legs. My brain deep
fried in my skull. And don’t tell me to put on more lotion.
That’s just basting.
And there’s a bell ringing. Ice cream.
Children screaming. The beautiful couple
jogging down the beach. Like they
were Kardashians. The slathering
of aloe. And farts smothered by sand.
…………. from my new comedy ebook At The Beach
