Three Poems

by

Edward Dorn



(from "Saluki's Soliloquy")




Quelle!Parti!--



A piece of celery
a head of broc
a carrot stick
a cauliflower stock;
crude vegetal tools
in the hands
of the knuckle-walkers.




REPULSION--Superbowl '95



"Out of the Slot!"
(watch your language!!)


"Beautifully timed pickoff!"
(he takes his dick out
and waves it at the crowd)


"Even if you're a Charger fan
you've got to admire greatness!"


(nonsense, I'm a Charger fan
and I puke on greatness--




House Arrest



January 25th, 1995--the New Dole


From now on,
I'm under House Arrest--
I only get out for the job:
Then, Death--the ultimate
House Arrest, the ultimate duree--
But it was worth it.


Original version--


From now on,
I'm under house arrest--
I only get out for the job;
Then Death--the ultimate
House Arrest.
