the polka dot skirt
  & white ribbed
            crew socks
            brought her 
            to my attention
before i knew it
            she was 
            crewing off 
            a good portion
            of my boiled ass,
my son 
            will not stop reciting 
            your dumb, drunken
            anti-u.s. of a
            fleabag poetry
i signed a copy 
            of my book
  & handed it to her
not to worry
            i said,
            this one is more
            blasphemous
            than drunk.
