Roué Let (by John B. Burroughs)
Roué Let
self portrait by the author
by John Burroughs, from The Eater of the Absurd [2012, NightBallet Press]
I'd sell my so
for a yes and no
I'd hold you to
the sale without
fail if you'd bail
me in once more
My in
you're all
most out
You time
whore eye
lover more
lick like
chime
I'd slime you
for a bite at
your pear and
delight in your
stare for a dark
door ramble
with my avant
in your garden
and repeal the woe
boat go law mow
shatter glow forage
Jack pot
Spin my rainbow
wheel make
a deal lie back
love whip crack
squeal
I'd sell my hot
for your trot
rim shot plot
slot naughty
ex in oh
party casino
My out
your in
win win
