  • Elvis and Materfamilias

    Grand old Elf Neon
    stage tree DRESSED
    Magic Emperor Emoticon
    lights Mama’s Marquee

    your voluptuous folding body
    hips popping, elbowed guitar
    (blink blunk, blink blonk)
    Bassoon to the womb stone kneels

    MOTHER wants your cape
    for her icebox pinup board
    She has sent her leprechauns
    to fetch it

    Virtual Ennui
    quivers vibrating
    in toe whisked
    spiraling vortex

    What strained violin
    caused Mom’s mutiny?
    the viscous quality of your:

    That’s alright, Momma!
    that’s alright for you.
    This blue moon of Shively
    falls your early dew.

    Vi Veri Universum Vivus Vici
    the five wheeled wheelbarrow
    Pop pushed out West
    across the Mississippi
    slid down the Panhandle
    purple sage sky desert
    the second see saw
    Pa our Pacific mystery

    Virago drinks a glass
    of vinegar vitamins
    we all go
    energy enfeebled
    a family vigilante
    coming
    to get you
    Extremely low frequency
    villainous vocal vital
    static energy Vulcan
    fire in
    a       void.

    Fire in the void!
    Fire in the void!
    Fire in the void!

    Boom!

    Elvis has left
    the Building.
    On the way home
    Momma sings:

    That’s alright, Elvis
    That’s alright for you.
