i read a pome

by Charlie Morgan

laconically i open a forward,
expecting Jesus stuff,
or pics of teats,
and arse,
or
how the war
is wrong,
or
right.

my yawn is stifled
by a girlÂ’s sock.
as tears well-up in my eyes:
randy has captured
the universe,
in less words
than Langston.

y, mi amigo de la noche, garth
has a bullet-proof heart,
though as riddled as
the country road Burma signs,.
yet he shields
the yearlings in his fold,
preening their dry feathers
for their long flight
into the future.
