Poems from No.6

 

 

Late Night Movie

Tonight it's The Creature
from the Black Lagoon and Joe,
snacking on popcorn, is mesmerized
by the TV's flickering light,
its unreeling science fantasy.
He watches the chemical accident
brew up the bayful of cellular broth
into a fleshy hulk. What a transformation
as its molecular network forges into a solidly
locked chain of immense strength.
But wait, there's more!
The creature roams the swamp driven
by the need to explode
into more universes.
It is attracted to the female
scientist. She will be the star
maker--and she is a stunner. WOW!
Joe sloshes to bed brimming with desire.

-- Madelyn Braverman

the appetite of Porcupines
is preciously selective
their rancher
has his problems

how
to satisfy
his beasts
soothe
their crises
of identity
keep
them from huddling
too frequently
the Armadillos

There on the floor a badly
Wrinkled parable -- I could tell
There had been a party.

Gams

There's nothing to a dame
but a couple of gams;
Two gams walking methodically
beneath the skirt of a summery dress.
When the light silhouettes them
moving so closely to the sheer
pattern of flowers, so damey and blue
it makes you think about dames again:
the smell of them and how they're like nothing
when they're sleeping,
never tumbling or growling.
And those gams
those suggestions
under that skirt of hers
that only a dame would wear
swishing side to side
ahead of you.
It makes you forget everything
and just imagine
one of them gams
lazy over your shoulder
and the other one on your lap.

-- Molly Russakoff


untitled

An inexpensive apartment
with a nice view
can ease anyone's prevailing
existential dilemma.

-- Joel Dailey
