Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
I want to write like a man, probing
my glitchy mind like it’s the rarest orchid.
But I’m cowed,
A heartvein throbs between her brows: Ketty-San’s
incensed another joke’s made at her expense,
With characters of granite schist, she hashtags a ban
Garçon, you snore so rhapsodically but hup hup,
peach schnapps & Coke Zero
with a gumball-green mermaid swizzle stick—
There is another room
You could spend time in.
What a shame not to enter
Ferocious flower
Cast out
Dent de lion
Imagine a dot
On the horizon: that is
Him, your beloved.
The Ponte Vecchio was built
For butcher shops.
The river stitched with bridges
George W made a painting & painted his toes pink
Like the meat I eat
& the color of my baby’s penis.
A man unzipping his fly is vulnerable to attack.
Then the zipper got stuck.
An angel flies in the window to unstick it.
The man ejaculates a blood-red rose.
The woman looks on in astonishment.
The sun pours in
