Daytime Reality Poem by Floyd Crenshaw

Daytime Reality



a man stands on his hands
three foot six inches
he has no waste.

occasionally,
a bell goes off and
he has to scuttle away,
like a cheap wind up
toy man-penguin,
as two women grapple
each other ripping hair and
tearing shirts, revealing
blurred breasts
that once impressed,
but now depress.

they fight for a shirtless,
skinny white man
with a thin mustache
who raises his arms
fists clenched
flexing his biceps
beneath his right
'let's get'
beneath his left
'it on! '

he brags of
moonshine escapades
a convinced
kung-fu master
self-taught from
steven segal
on vhs with
hours to kill
and meth to wear off.

wearing a native american
head dress he dances
to the audience
'ohh-wee-ohh'
tomahawking him on.

the host stands in awe.
the bell rings.
the man flexes.
the women brawl
the audience is the audience.
the manguin urges us
to stay tuned.
