South DaCola

South DaCola poetry club with Steve B. (a poem about me)

The Artist: Scott Ehrisman

What in Hell is wrong with you, boy?

All that slimy, oozing, wriggling

Stuff inside your soul ralphed out, framed,

Hung on a wall IN PUBLIC.  What

Were you thinking?  Yeah, the answer

Is already framed.  I’ve got a

Printout of that brunette with her

Cigarette and heels, but I hide

It where my wife won’t find it—I

Keep things decent.  You shouldn’t stick her

In a collage with strippers and

Put it in a gallery.  And

There: a flying pig in papier

Mache! Pork on the wing—it’s just

Wrong.  Someone should tell your mother.
