Stubb Earle’s got his strawberries again in Eden so we packed the freezer full of the perfect fruit, each small ruby bursting its sparks of sugar tart sweet, crimson blood juices over hands and faces.
The baby is soaked in rosy dribbles and laughing for more with joyful shrieks of strawbabies.

Azure liquid thinned by pee and drool
Beckons a dinky passerby
Choked by grot collar
And ‘can I help you’ tie

While yet married to a dish
the spoon ran off with the fork
to elope into a knife
cut-throat marriage-
going feeding porkishly
at Las Vegas buffets
and drinking glass
after glass martinis and wine-
gambling the night away.

Across from Love Street
Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues
Graffiti of poetry
Written for travelers like you
While the musicians penetrate their horns
By the barriers of raging fire
The cold crisp breeze
Blows melodies a little further
Across from Love Street
There lie many books
Authors of rich silky thoughts
Langston Hughes

We have been quietly washed in by
Twilight’s tide and shall make
Our exit by the same mysterious
Means before the piercing dawn
We artfully dissect your town’s
Charm and personality and turn
