Every once in a while
no reason why
maybe a Helen Mirren movie
the little woman
in her big leather chair
says something like
‘I’m nobody’s arm candy.’
And the old man
in his big leather chair
he could give a shit
about Helen Mirren
but what the hell
is he supposed to say.
‘You’re my arm candy.’
Should have shut up right there.
‘All my buddies love you.’
Actually said something like that
that stupid
to the woman he is currently with.
‘Your buddies love me
because they know I am smart
and you need a lot of help.’
Don’t hear so good
like this morning Gayle King was reporting
on snipers in Phoenix.
She says ‘domestic terrorists’
and I hear ‘gymnastic terrorists’
Suddenly! Images of
synchronized suicide bombers
cart-wheeling in pike position.
Did I mention
cooked my DooDah’s Pork Ribs
Especiale in the oven.
Secret is the Jack Daniel’s sauce.
Okay.
Maybe I need a little help.
