here comes the mojo

The theme of this place is

Go big & sloppy. So call me

Back & let’s cuddle. We’ve got to get

This thing started. Let’s spoon until

It goes dark. Until our organs

Are cut out of prone, bathtub-

Cradled bodies. A jack-in-the-box

On the toilet. Long for what you

Always find in your pockets instead

Of flinching when your shrunken

Head springs out of the toy box

Like a sock monkey. Stop, drop

& roll doesn’t work because you can’t

Feel your body. The shower spits on.

Vomit clogs the drain. Oh how it changes

Everything—this kind of kingliness.

Let yourself feel it. Let it come

Down. You are the amphetamine

& midnight Vegas type

Of Elvis. Mad eyed & hip shaking—

Cherry, cherry, spin—gimme

Gimme that jackpot of believing.
