a poem by l. glenum

Carve a Niche in Your Flesh & Store Your Secret Purchases Inside It

A dangerous toy. Not for use by ballerinas shot in the face.
Clean clogged orifices with chainsaw/feather dipped in lye.

Plastic limbs are useful for catching birdshot. Do not act wicked
or do. Insert vermilion or spermatic fluid into slots J & I.

The razor-like part which maims is contained obsequiously
in jelly-like skin (with or without periscopic crotch-eye).

Tube of blue icing is for skying prettily at abominations. Keep
legs open. Do not eat head. Apply tape to mouth. Or mummify.

(Exiled fetus: $3.49 for 4 singles, $8.99 for triplet-twin mix.)
(Siamese twin version available at select boutiques in NY.)

Throne of iron nails, no. Telepathic pet rabbit, yes. Included.
Please recycle any laser-like interstices of sinusoidal joy.
