Take It Easy

tied an awkward object to a coarse rope and dragged it thru mud water

slush and brushwood and half-constructed site waste to a pole set in concrete

several factors overlaid a pin cushion rubberband network of push-tacks

two locked bathrooms and empty coffee pots and spilled grounds

a taskmaster cutting mailing addresses off magazines
but what about the skeet pull thing and clay pigeons?

got it to the corner of Romeo and Juliet

where the double-barrel banged open the parlor door

and smelled the dew-peaks on her downy tuft

before sidling upstairs to find the indigent boy

cowering under the girl's covers with a sack of wet mice

and the urge to purge a virgin of her vestal absence
this is where I get off
