“ Going Up for Grabs “

Going up for grabs
coming out of nowhere
striking a “Contrapposto Pose”
hip thrust out, elbow cocked
sometimes obvious
like Cow Parsley
and sweetie boxes
mirroring olive leaves
at an art opening
strewn with Guccis
surrendering
to “Camp as Costume”
while consumers look useless
as obtuse multitudes
without observing
New Years’ resolutions
perhaps feeling a bit delusional
seen like marginalized groups
embroidered in bullion cool
as worn by timeless beauties
singing, “I’ll find another one
prettier than you, I’ll find
another one prettier than you
I’ll find another one
prettier than you”;
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’...
