Last Stand: Poet As Rock Star-Magician

Pulling filthy/
irreverent
words out of
a top hat, his
rabbits in the
heat of

orgasmic fuck,
as his wand/guitar
ejaculated.

“Enough”,
he screamed.

And then he
disappeared,
humping wildly,
like a stud horse,

into the orgy
of his pulsating
top hat

So frantic
and insane
his drummer

dropped dead
of a heart
attack

trying to keep
the
beat.
