Raymond Farr
BOUGHT ME A MANNEQUIN NAMED PAPA
TO LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART

[build: our fathers]



Papa types:

—Auckland Personnel Only—

then he types:

“glockenspiel”


Derivatives of marginal

attraction sing like a cobra

in reply—

bought me a mannequin named Papa

to love with all my heart


Reads how song

t(w)o (wo)men sex is desire


How Oz is a click of

tahol on Zoloft

psychological as existence

& that tahol

means shithead


Papa’s factoids

are forces

TOP SECRET as hen

he dishes out madness


His porno’s no secret

grinds tumult to words—

aloha, fruity pebbles

in someone else’s

straight face
