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

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
