a poem by Lawrence Gladeview (3 of 3)

First-Timer

off liberia ave.
perpendicular
to rte. twenty eight

in neon:
tattoos
body piercing
the exotic

washington dc
coney island
misfit parlor

unattended children
to be sold
as slaves

cramped chamber
houses angola chair
alcohol
vestal skin

clamp molars
wince eyes
ignore marital disdain
nipple rings
are NOT gay.
