The Pet Shop Mogul


Pet Shop Mogul
in the lates of life
hunkered down with spam
in missile silo.

There’s a ferret on his
finished script.
He’s revisiting writing,
revising Oklahoma and Midnight Cowboy.

Tomorrow he will die.
Tomorrow he will die.

Pet shop mogul
on the skates of to-do lists
before he floats a honeybee
on wheels of a singular nature.

Rode a motorized unicycle
on route to Walhalla
accompanied by female butcher
armed with ample cleavage.
She was smarter than him,
he knew it too.

Remembered his sins
in the blue-rayed heaven
of fish tank rapture.
Nets and transparent bags
tools to detain,
instruments of the prelude
to flush.

Tomorrow he will die.
He’d be dead without tomorrow.



Yes it's me...
