That Honky Bitch is Horny

at Borders yuppie bookstore on a Tuesday night
no money
just here to do some research
your boyfriend is sitting in his wheelchair on
the sidewalk
looking glum
you ask what's wrong
he points out that there are two cars without
placards parked in the handicapped parking spaces
you tell him to call the cops
a man standing nearby says
"already done"
tells you his wife is handicapped
and that sort of thing really burns him up
inside you grab bios by Anthony Kiedis
and Tommy Lee
take all the relevant books down from the
reference shelf
you are going to publish your poetry, finally
your boyfriend is going to publish his short stories
on life on the wild tweaked out side
in San Francisco and Oakland
after writing down addresses for about an hour
you browse the magazines
look at the photos in Rolling Stone
a topless Courtney Love feeding the Bean
her bottle
Kurt Cobain playing his guitar in his pajamas
and smiling
Michael Stipe treading water in a pool
in New Orleans
then all those crazy little books
the book of bad days grabs your attention
you tell your boyfriend
let's get make like a tree
and get outta here
too much stimulation, man
no money and too many choices
my brain is hurting
let's make like a skunk and stink
more silliness on the way to the car
you tell your boyfriend to wait on the sidewalk
you'll get the car
you turn around and see him hauling ass after
you in his wheelchair
you burst out laughing and sing
"here he comes, rolling down the street...gets
the craziest looks from everyone he meets!"
you laugh and honk the horn
he says,"that's honky bitch is horny"
you laugh until you hurt
you could not have more fun
at Disneyworld drunk on Hawaiian Punch
on a Saturday night in June.
