Flashbacks Poem by Bill Knott

Flashbacks

Rating: 2.8


All it takes is Laura Riding's riding-
crop across my butt, and I'm off:
Git-up horsie she cries astride me as

I crash sweetly onto the carpet.
Boredom what an esthetic,
cleansing the days-
I laud the vintage of my toothpick.

Small-husband to the floor,
my foot stoops in dance,
in courtship intervals.

Putting their clothes on afterwards
the lovers are surprised
at how empty
the buttonholes seem.

Flashbacks that abound with sensual, sexual memories that juxtapose, interrelate in the loose structure of the stanzas.
