down Red River & 7th the Muppet drag show spreads its legs boys fill up on foreskins before purple paint smears the floor i have never seen so many beautiful people insistent on not being in love with me there is a Miss Piggy in lingerie boys in dresses long as eulogies poor-postured animals kissed up against other animals the vice grip of a tongue latched onto a breast i think about it the goodness of breasts drag queens resplendent as Coke cans coax my innerer schweinehund out with cold sticks of butter it asks if this is how you get the girl no they tell it the butter is a mere distraction boredom brings genitals slumped against genitals i am thinking again of the baby squirrel orphaned to the sidewalk her eyelids not yet formed the drag queen removes her gloves & we see that her skin is not actually purple outside Elysium i crave to crave a cigarette i cough & out flies a little bug so cute i will be alone tonight
