Condemned to abnormality one escapes
And to leave, dragging a blond pony
an enormous clot of perfume for Saturdays
and to feel the muscles under one's shirt.
All of the lights are moving lit tonight
an excellent night for dining
an excellent night to learn how to use cutlery
in a convincing manner.
I know that for a moment I can be
the conjuror who displays one way to pass off
fifty-gallon tanks as steeds,
and so on and everything would hurt if it weren't still
necessary to breathe through a blond pony's shining halter
an enormous clot of perfume for Saturdays
and then to feel the muscles underneath my shirt.
