naked ladies are brash; youngish              but not always;
everybody wants to see naked old ladies;
we're afraid of having British nightmares

the nineteen Satanic Muses gather round
as the corpse awakens; screaming bats at high noon
are frightening
saying church comes in a pill
                                               can get u arrested in            Arizona
                                           ­                        but not always;

Cynthia had a crush on the stranger
in the clouds; gaseous mobs stalking
the sideways city; we broke into her
glass jar of pennies only to add more;           roses arise s a rose arises rose s  y  i    y  rose rosy        roses

putting yellow pennies in her pockets;
shrieking at seven o'clock, mysterious
why is she pulling her skirt down         for Mozart         she'd do               anything;
anything;

anything;                                   ­            for Mozart
