Berrigan Boys



______

______

______

This downward spiral motherfucker

cakewalk dance in stains left by some-

body’s other hands – the faint mention

of money stripped off like skin

and stuck in a pocket.

______

The doctors all say there’s nothing

to worry about.

______

Yet – still – I worry:

______

I worry about penis size,

like a lonely pretzel,

still frozen in the freezer.

_____

I doggy your bitch-face, paddle-style,

where I slap your jacket straight

against your face and you smile

this hot hole into your fist like

an evening gone wrong,

or sour, or somewhere Southern.

_____

Like a bread farmer still standing

while his wife makes hands of

worry and he slaps his dick out of

his son’s mouth

and calls him a chicken.
