epizootics!

scott walker

maman neigho was frightened by hawaiians

when all the veins ran out

when too much bone structure went missing

she thumbed the galleon cacafuego

forsook the eyebrows climbing into greasy black hairlines

narcrotic leis yanked down around the melianomed ankles

their putrid petals dropping

erasing the white shoes

like a face being eaten by a jungle

slabs of steam tables whiffing of onions and roses

haunted jacuzzis churning

all night the native bods squealing b-flat

like choirs of pigs seeking revenge for stolen insulin

blip

boost

bust

brother

that's how we copped a final

reached this city without sound

everywhere you turn

bunkers of rubber hoses pronging up off the city's floor

chirp

chime

clambaked

cups

don't step on that rotting tartare

just might bust your conk

might lay your racket

early black ickaroo

it's dense

tense

unseen through

pound for pound

all the people

on the corners

pushing each other around

humping like buggers

touching like muggers

pushing each other around

adepocere in a zoot

sloshing

karat

ballooning down the street

thousand kilos simpy

forty stone send

tips his skypiece

come to weigh me up

but i'm toned

gut bucket

ground grippers ready to trilly

layin' down iron

togged to the bricks

shh

let's add a little shade

try something apart from the hogshair

while pope julius affects his red slippers

let michelangelo tip-toe around in his dogskin boots

shh

the powder on a chalky bosom

rises and hangs in the air

clouds crawling through protracted blue

like souls of insects

from threshing haze

the scent of spider lilies

sam p's bagged decapitation

rotates to the ocean floor

its nostrils are twitching and sniffing

gabriel's gravy

got your glasses on

gate

there's some mezz glimmers

a gammon v8

twisters in the slammer

frisking their whiskers

till peola dim on the chime of black

it's dense

tense

unseen through

pound for pound

scratch and jesus on the corner

pushing each other around

shoving like sluggers

touching like muggers

pushing each other around

snapping their caps

slidin' their jibs

lampin' the brees

drapin' the trees

oops

pardon the elbow

let's just shift you over here

sorry

i'm so clumsy

take that accidently in the bollocks for a start

seven brights jumped in port

reached this city without sound

kopasetic

on the corners

pushing each other around

everybody on the corners

pushing each other around. joe below

hincty dicty

slipped the pounders

fews and two

knock me

boot me

down in the land of darkness

sweet leilani

heavenly flower
