1. THE GOOD BUBBLY STUFF



do not shine a light into his bear cave heart
with its litter of clamshells half eaten victuals
& farts like pork smoke -- focus on the man
he was -- rising up in wedding cake morning --
that boy of yours, the honeymoon surprise --
rocksolid hair, stiff collar with a hint of a tie
still tacked to his neck & wearing the same
penguin suit you fucked him in last night --
clutching your breast in one hand he's got a
champagne glass in the other -- he presses
himself oh so patiently to your most glorious
pink tremulous unspoiled lips -- true husband
tending to his land -- the good bubbly stuff --
uncorked masterpiece of manhood -- poured
straight out of the bottle & eternally brimming


2. VERY PRETTY



low riding secret harley with
flying saucer eyes spitting
gravel spit it out spit it OUT
what in the world god is not
a man pissing on a wall -- o
young space boy in your
leather o wild & lonesome
girl in your subterranean
inwood trinity catholic school
town inside of you -- be waving
bye bye to all that -- boy you know
david bowie is so god! so god!
be not afraid the hotrod rebel
is inside of you be pretty be
in touch be very pretty --
spiked & spoken for -- be
glamorous too -- now lean
on your low down james dean
meat machine -- o very pretty
very young -- o very pretty boy
what you afraid of now nothin!
in your brave new spanking town

for jim carroll (1949-2009)
