Smooth.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

you squirt like a squid
holy squirt, black splash
to a green sea

you squirt everything like a
filthy squid
everything to the greenish
portion of the sea

all the anemones sigh
sea corals dance
all spawns of womanhood
spread all over the
vast green

on the surface the object
of your desire is half-nude
fishing a dream

you never for once told him
about your hidden song

he is smooth, cool, able bodied
all the while wanting to catch you
and take you home
alive.
