Mom's Lost It For Real This Time

The sun is a glaring Mom. She has

Nine toddlers in pull-ups robbing a liquor store

They scream like goblins coated

slippery in A+D,

(but the money tastes like sand)

buttery streams of light in the air that smells

like chewed fireworks.

 

Baby Blue silence. Then

 

“Langston McCaw! LA County Sheriff!”

the Sheriff is dead McCaw is an accountant over at Sherman and-

But he doesn’t like to talk about it.

Sun setting sets the air habanero

“Look about it” the babies cry

Those chubby voices of rage.

Liquor quivering milky and hot

I ripped the roof and reached-

J-Dog has snatched another thief

And he will take the lil’ ***** to the

holding cell that thinks

Where he will be questioned by

ten petite police

 

These babies won’t bite the bakers back again!

 

“Si tu vois ma mere”

broken Bombay bottle sings in despair as

Giant mother tomato sun fell,

Madness doesn’t cease it goes around.
