The Unfortunate Charisma
Meg Johnson
it's like a locket but also
like Penny's computer book from Inspector Gadget
(under tights, under lace...)
it's like a pre-adolescent wearing tight jeans saying "I'm
a Samantha"
it's like missing a credit card payment
fists for ovaries
I'll admit I've been swayed by a sparkling spoon
it's...
watching a friend being taken away in a car
giddily, he waves to you from the passenger seat
you stand on the corner, the driver not offering you a ride
the name of my imaginary band is Kill The Colony
it's like a pregnancy dream with
no men
like an "oh-no-she-deh-ent" letter to the editor
strangers wave, they say "great letter"
my father as a young boy carves
Born To Be Wild in the boards
of the corn crib
he didn't have to tell me this
I can feel my DNA like a razor
top
like Penny's computer book from Inspector Gadget
(under tights, under lace...)
it's like a pre-adolescent wearing tight jeans saying "I'm
a Samantha"
it's like missing a credit card payment
fists for ovaries
I'll admit I've been swayed by a sparkling spoon
