Poems written on hats

These are what I remember of two poems I wrote onto blank hats and which I drew pictures on as well. This transcription may be inaccurate. I have an affected memory.

I gave away these hats during the St. Dad show at Orlando, at the Magic & the Johnsons last show.

(1)

A haggard, shirtless man

kisses the palm of a blond

because she’s going to buy him a whopper.

I ask him to tell her that I want to

bite off her pointing finger.

He tells me he wants to lick

her asshole.

Him and her, that’s you and me.

(2)

At the tutoring lab I was refreshed

on radicals because the math-tutor

was out of town. I was helping a

poor student and at one point got

stuck and thought about what would

happen if I called and asked you

to foil me in plastic and freeze me in

your kitchen.

You wouldn’t pick up.
