Closing Throat

by Johnny Crimson

The rage you just fuck out
when their number is up

Slow steady breeze back
to the island escape

She showered in coconut juice and human hair
and as she stepped onto the bathroom floor
a novelty fan blew a stack of down feathers all over her
sticky bird figure

Bugs are crawling from cell phone screens
and there are things moving in her underwear
She holds out for one last caress of her breasts
with two handfuls of dirt
And she falls awkwardly sideways and slowly

Smiling when her teeth hit the linoleum
as her red ran out
her chewing gum got jealous and blew a giant
blood bubble that burst back onto her face
I couldn't close her eyes so I popped them out
with a spork

Dick inside her eye socket I remembered my tasks
for today

Find diet green tea on sale at the market
Hit the gym a little harder cause the pools opening up
And maybe mistakingly run into that waitress in pumps who always passes my door at 9:17

I don't know why, but I love that showering in hair line. It's just such a great, random line. But it's not just there for the sake of being there. I think you're very rarely guilty of that. Nice work.
