“Don’t you know you have to wear eyeliner in your twitter picture?”Exhausted by beauty marks
Knee Boop-bent inward
Lower eyelids spider weightedCartoonish astonishment, celluloid sensuality
.“How would mom dress as an almost 26 year old?”
Wrap me in autumn, skirts snapped at
Paparazzi with glitter vampire biteOn his neck, my ambivalent
-ly overstuffed purse absent from this angle
i fondle the Prodigal bassist’s luckCharms, we manage to say, “You know,
while you’re touching yourself”
A few times eachIf you thought i looked ravishing
When i walked in, toes curled
With Erik Satie in a baggieWait til’ i dish on the useless erectile
Tissue, trans-perations, play piercings
We know the same human dollAnd oy! Shomer shabbas Jews’ll
Do the darndest things—
My money’s no good here
No handkerchief to shake change
the rest of the poems li(v)e below!
