counting coup

against your collar bone
dancing dragonfly
the blue road stretches out, forever
i picture my tattoo

joshua tree, back lit
sky impossibly blue
stretched out across the desert
phantasmagorical detritus of a soul
scattered
and
followed
like hansel and gretel [candy house out of frame]

words projected on white t shirts
side step the sidewinders
who are these women who tell you to stop
i say man the torpedoes
full steam ahead
what's more
than
creation

we stole those big ole suckers
from the lollipop kids

here come the flying monkeys
