Zenvirus

The giraffe stroked his neck. His norlazm
Throbbed across the city.
The George Bush war.
The phallic saxophones
Wail across the banshees.
Gesticula Sob
Competed for his attentions,
Two-fisted.
His cucumber
Was limp in the fridge.
The design team retracted.
I detached my stomach and left it in her care,
Trusting her.
But never depolish!
I am not mad, I pay taxes!
