monkey of the mind
chaos in the perfect world is
the dick - held monkey of the mind
doubt walking reluctant on a leash
a lathered up morning spit
holds the razor to the faceless mirror
questioning motives that are dieing to live
i squeeze out the cluttered reasoning
from the wrong side of the tube
smacked in the bloody cold of truth
in splashed up facefuls
crashing into that neat perspective
of a corporate suit and tie
masturbating into a car commercial
the life of junk yards is red
wearing the monkey like an iron stain
rust in a toilet bowl ring
around the finger
of a rodeo drive pop sucked
a six pack of empty cans
under the bed collects bones
a gargled breath and false teeth
grind out false dreams behind the curtain
the animal dances on butter today
I make you in an unmade bed
my breath feeds the baboon
chicken wings and sex
scratching your back to the black fingernails of
greased up monkeys
I buck you like a movie star
in neat cinema shots and angles
far away ecstasies on Gilligan's island
where monkeys jack into cameo bars
and I autograph your lips
with something fashionable
