My next poem
Will have gunfire.
Bank tellers and
Fortune tellers
Will all pack heat
My next poem
Will have seeing-eye dogs
That can translate Espanol
It will have
A lunch break and
A guitar solo.
My next poem
Will never be published
But it will have
Passion and drama
An anti-hero
A laugh track
Stuntmen
Stuntwomen
Good sex
And a dramatic pause . . .
In my next poem
The Boy Scouts will
Sack the city at night
Using hatchets and pocket knives
Sparingly (only if needed).
