The Danger

In this American dangle
this undocumented chad
this penis peninsula
the Homeless in black and bee keeper's helmets
steer baby carriages into the the lizard grass looking for sweet Melissa

In the heat of no escape
bullets problem solve
remember the smell of cap guns?
that addictive puff of sulphide and potassium
that miasma Southern hard on

I have an anchor around my neck
an anchor as big as Anchorage
I lick your icy map
soul kiss your interior
a rope tightens around my Eve's apple
when she pulls it tighter this hot world becomes
a pinprick of light

This Google world is zoned twilight
I earthquake black hole disappear
I did not know that nighttime frog static was a love call

My cuntheart on the cold moon
sends me sweatered missives about her rainy July
I am outside the diagram of Venn and need
to auto correct, to mind the gap
to find a home in the fatal error
