SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

"Summertime...
and the livin' is easy."
The reincarnation of Moby Dick
is what I'm fishing for.

Those white teeth, so perfect;
and those ruby red lips, are they unkissed?
The mouth of the Great Deep, waiting to devour
the very animals we waterboarded
for so long in our laboratories.

All to keep us afloat for one more day...

One more day!
Standing on her seductive mouth,
casting our rods across the water,
lipstick on our collars!

They say God always answers prayers--
that sometimes the answer is No.

"Cast your bread upon the waters",
and one day...one day...
it will come back to you on TV.

In the storm upon the Sea of Galilee,
she devoured my loins before I could gird them!

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

Twisting the lipstick from the tube,
twisting the vortex in the Great Deep,
gyrating torsos without heads, arms, legs--
the gyres! the gyres! The whole ship's gone down!

Call me Ishmael.
