Multitasker Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Multitasker



Chewing gum
moved rapidly from one side of her mouth to the other
a mad glint
in her eye

as she sucks
on a lollipop
fag in right hand...drink in left
a living dancing
Shiva.

'Come here! '
she say
(the gum spat out)
'I wanna kiss ya! '

I, being only a simple man
capable of doing
only one thing at a time
bow to her
demand.
Woman the multi-
tasker of the Universe.
