Fragment #25

A.J. Juarez

While I'm sitting on the couch smoking a cigar,

Having read eight pages of a biography on Lorca
That Jonathan gave me for my birthday( at least four years ago),
Donna answers her e-mail and laughs .

Oh wife, oh spider lily,
Anoint me with your chuckle,
As an Ella scat consecrates
and becomes a ripple that chases the beat ,
Flagrantly allowing us to follow.

...BA-ba-rah -ba da-ba-love of my life-
Boo-pee-doop-bop.
Sip-deep-de, bap-dap-doo.
Oh yeah!
