Your Dirty Dawg

Let’s pretend we’re puppets –
stimulate by simulation:
do the nasty and the crafty –
sensually root and wrestle,
tussle with our puppet parts –

loot and pillage (though without
the gory spillage) puppet hearts:
make like little puffs and levers –
cotton batting, bluff receivers
of imagination only – play like

we are lonely for each other
and het up for sex: do it in a park –
perplex the pigeons and
the meadow lark: I will be
your dirty dawg – I’ll fog your

spectacles: the squirrels will be
agog. Let’s pretend we’re
puppets – have rehearsals –
do reversals: make believe
we’re real. See if puppets feel.
