poem || Rhoda Penmarq

doesn't anyone here want to have fun?

 

i play games

as much as anyone

have a cold beer

always so kind to me

have to raise hell

till the morning light

with my fiance's bio child

why would someone have no friends

that was in 1976

marriage ruins a good thing

like immature guys playing pranks

if i had real friends

i wouldn't have to keep calling everyone

5 poems || John Pursch

Thigh Scan Sea

Waddle when offal dings 

wear on staring wasps, 

blubbery dunes trenching 

umpteen harried pharaohs 

into thigh scan sea.

Brothel Fix

Wrongly elaborated 

fuel conspirator brothels 

fix maladroit corrosion fossils,

golfing with an attache when windy

in spavined seizure’s daylight moon cartel.

Metaparadox

Some things cannot be

expressed in words alone.

How curious that so few words

suffice to say so.

Percolating Beauty

Nod wholly, 

somehow to self,

pernicious in high-rent teasing,

growing sluggish in festering toppled digs, 

plausibly too hot for inguinal breastplate taters, 

hip to percolating beauty’s recoiling elation, 

ground to coinage by horned bailiffs 

with twitchy fervent neighbors 

in seashore’s graven affront of

spiny fuselage cordon trance, 

wedged between flotation drills 

of mastermind teeth acres.

The Sequel Kid

Who’d humbly wind 

two canned, old oars,

stopping a bloated souse 

with demolition quads, 

plopping planned precision 

in delta makings of a hero’s 

foolish scourge?

Neckties mock emasculated 

tundra from hinterland speak, 

quelling squelches of the Sequel Kid 

with gross rotation Midianites 

in par-four coughing gorges, 

whaled between the Groin Canton 

and Lago Prowler, huffing with

tufa nerds in slattern, hairy comas.
