elvira

Elvira-Queen of the Dark
greets me in klingon
i stand in line
by the cooler
full of beer
 towards the stage
 doing  the pee pee dance

401k

last time i checked the weather it was overcast
i turned on the air conditioner
kneeling down in front of it
like a hooker
who is working on her 401k
i moved my face from side to side
letting the cold air
chase away any cobwebs
 of complaint
negative thoughts sun-dried
with no fan fare
 or cotton candy.
tell me miss
 where are the clowns?
are they hiding from me
under the big top

sssssss. .

I am on a dirt path
 a little dirt path
it' winding up
 around my neck
like a boa constricter
snake
