Robert Fleming




a lime green thong is bursting out all over


your black rainproof cover is soot gray

pink feather dusting for the end-dust man

your wheels as dull as an un-reflecting mirror

lubricate your wheels with WD-40 &

KY Jelly squirts on your bearings eazes your roll

roll you to the patio


Saturday pm ravenous carnivores arrive

un-shirt & pose pecks on the patio

Tom turns on your burners &

burns beef burgers & buns

all barbecue season your host consults Ms. Manners

to host the proper barbecue


the host prays Peter likes my coleslaw

Mary burns his hand on the grill

your host changes into a white nurse uniform

with a diamond cap & mends Mary's burn

by melting margarine all over Mary

Please Paul poke me with a greazy spatula

Phillip spill Budweiser over your T-shirt & shorts

Pedro un-pant & let your host polish you

in the laundry tub with a brillo pad


such a sweet sweet barbecue fantazy baby
