gnashville ’95
elvis and jack kennedy 1
met me and my pal barnaby– 2
we were going to gnashville 3
with our dash filled with marys, man. 4
when you thought of the unthinkable, 5
realized the titanic was sinkable 6
and a world can be sucked gone with plastic straws, 7
did that spark your panic 8
or was it something more manic 9
that drove you out on the reservation of caw? 10
i was on the grill, you know 11
(sorry, i’m drunk, i meant to type girl), 12
and though her name was barbie 13
she was something of a haiku wannabe 14
with a published poem about a miscarried baby 15
and her ransom was a punchline everybody knew, 16
so i hit her. so? 17
the moonstone and grendel and all the king’s men 18
couldn’t put kennedy back together again 19
and barnaby has this laugh and this way and this…man, 20
he finds himself unable to hate again, so i hate (for) him. 21
