Southpaw
for John Mulrooney
deathwish never looked so Hot,
a favorite number of ours
During intercourse it's funny to hum
"Helter Skelter" or to ask
for more meatloaf
It's no longer enough to cry Uncle, or be
whisked away to a quiet place to be
Beaten
Father used my belt to tie my hands
in the closet, I now
leave it to Gravity
to select my Toppings
You're made of fiery tattoos and have Been fire
twice, I lick
the sink and tub for final mescaline Specks.
Pay-per-view home invasions and
crude interludes in cars
will be Next
Followed by Dumpster Divers already
in Progress
I wish I could say "Second Avenue" or
"Houston St."
Instead we fall into Suburban traps that
will toughen skins
A shame you have become Microscopic
to toss in your Tiny towel
Shrink from responsibility, while resolving
to be hard Hit
Love comes to Neighborhood death squads
