Four Poems
by Devin Wayne Davis


"hooey"

so, w
e've cloned one;

revised the drive
protestant hanky
-panky, junior?

... wait.

a subject, or
object, got messed up/
confused in translation.

one was born,
but it did not live,
with an enlarged heart;

some others ...
lapsed into comas,
induced by removing

hot tumors
from thick brain &
separated stomachs. but,

most of the sweeties
had diabetes, and died.

"ill"

better than most--
every sick nobody ...

i do not wear too modest a pot,
that scarecrow-close knit-hat; &

i have vanity,
this one delicate flaw
drawn in my pubic hair.

 

"men & women"

witness
her taking lint
from, some cat fur
or stray hair (was it
to tug a loose string)
off the top; sweet
of her fussy lover.

scene him rolling
the road over. motor-
eyed for newer improvements;
like this matrix, in two parts
hydrogen and one oxygen.
his mast is straight,
but the pants
legs wave.

"queen"

workers kept her
from becoming
a wasp; and/or,
a grasshopper.
