Viagra

Hips strangle face,
hips
strangle
face
dissolving
the walls
to repel mountains
in sun.
A hint of brine
a wink
of ocean
you and every
middle-aged
commercial fucker
on a beach
in the tub
but you know,
twitching
from memories
of forced heat,
the new limb
is only good
in the hands of those
who do not
need it.
Have your
vacation.
Fill it up.
In shuddering waves
render the whole man
your great shivering
mass
upon the world.
Your machine
has fixed gears
and cannot
wear out
cannot
wear
out
until the dying
open-mouthed
moment
when the cowboy
conspiracy
is made complete,
poisoned
by the premises
it fed on,
frightened by the appearance
of its end,
dangling by a
thin opaque strand:
another mess you’ll never
clean
but always hard
and warm
and loving.
