Let's Walk This Dog


by Shawn Misener


let's walk this dog

that doesn't belong to us


let's smile like we mean it


let's belt jingles for drugs

that make the cholesterol go away


let's show off our erections

from viagra injections

(even if you're a girl)


let's rewrite the code:

if you don't quiver with anticipation

you'll barely manage to explode


--


you light up my laptop

with your funk-ladle soul


the little spots are the big spots


let's dance the epileptic dance

with the off-duty EMTs

pounding scotch like we hate it


this is life:

full, fleshy words

moments stretched out like EEEEEK!

a smile, a rare yellow twizzler
