Leaning On The Parameters of Sanity

got a letter from
Burning Woodchuck Review:

Dear Poet,
Sorry, but my Russian
Wolfhound, Dostoyevsky defecated
on all the submissions
for issue #3. I tried
to save everyone's
writing, but the smell
& smear finally got to me.
Was your poem about catching
your brother cornholing
his buddy while watching
Andy Griffith? Or was it
the one about the nuns
with the giant dildo
hid inside the hollowed crucifix?
Please, resubmit.

having never heard of any
of this, i pour my glass
half full of vodka
squeeze a lime in
& drain it

the cinnamon moon is
a slice less than full
shining through the web
in the window

where two flies
struggle
waiting for the black widow

The Gay Zen Poet's Funeral

when he died
he wanted his body
shot out of a cannon
decorated as a penis

with wildflowers
in the nude
over the Grand Canyon

with several sticks
of lit dynamite
shoved up his ass

then he wanted everyone
to clap
with one hand
