pregnant with the keys

to your stick shift mood

can't get yourself ignition

can't get yourself ignition



grease-stained parking lot

embed and loiter bottle tops

dipped in the secretion

of your syphilis flirtation



must we go spell it out?

roman candle, cradles, teething

dressed in innuendos



"c" is for contraction

30 minutes apart

umbilical agendas

in the coup de jat



"c" is for the cul de sac

tiennamen reverse

parking all the grandeur

in backseat afterbirth

grease-stained parking lot

loiter tops dipped in the secretion



must we go spell it out for you?



mao tse tung ferver

in his petty glance

in this cursive dysentery
