SANTA’S PAUSE

If you are not
Pushing
The night
To a
Cherry-Xmas
And happy
New sin
Happy
Because you think
You can finger
Your way to meet God
In your honking cab
You will have
To order
Your next
Xmas-fig
From amazon

IF YOU SAY MY MIND IS DIRTY

If you say
My mind is dirty
Show yours.
Show me
How you screw yourself
How you rain on
Your own fingers

Why your chest
My chest
Are bare chests

Why should you
Worry who lubed
The tunnel first
There are
Many questions
than asking
Who did what first?

When you are tired of
Riding your feelings.
Ride me
