A Poem by Alpris



I yawn.


This man


wastes 


the


stage


swears, spits


and


sprays away


the willing


flies
on
the
walls


boo! get off the stage!


and on she comes


overlaps 


him


he leaves


and she


heaves


a hearty


introduction.


far out...


I sip


but instead of wine


-grapes tangled

in
vines
of
ethanol-


I taste


carefully 


churned


caramel


cream



of the crop, she is


no doubt


no doubt in my mind, man


she's dancing them


melodic feet


across woodbound floors


and breaking them necks


of the unaware 


audience folk


they will never know, aye


that woman


is a flower in perfected play


she closes her


blood-tipped


curtains at night


and by dew time


they open


for show business



she dances


her melodic feet


across woodbound floors



I want a lot for ten bucks

more than I bargained for


she moves, aye...


she moves me
