i am so tired of vagina metaphors, part II
here’s a first draft of a second poem on the same “erotic landscape” prompt, which I call Georgia O’Keeffe:
Georgia O’Keeffe
i hated her work the first time i saw it
i was eight and the flowers stared me down like the dinosaurs we’d learned about the week before: grotesque, large, vibrant prehistoric.
a man came in to show us art
(o! how strange it is now, ...
i am so tired of vagina metaphors
oceans, wet things, flowers blooming.
fuckin a. seriously?
so, for my “erotic landscape” prompt poems, i’ve not done that. send me comments if you hate it or love it or think it’s mediocre? here’s one draft, called clay:
clay became a part of me

another poem- this one a pastiche on Frank O’Hara’s “The Day Lady Died”
“Split/spilt” I said aloud to myself alone six times In a bed too big, as I looked at the clock numbers changing and wondered if a) I am separated and divided or, maybe, b) fractal facets of identity and miscellaneous other ‘personality’ pieces of me just fall out in overflow if -and most...

Disney Executive 2: No, everyone loves 3D with all their heart and souls so instead of making new movies lets just re-release every movie we've ever made in 3D.
