Replying to a comment on:
Muslim woman at the office (Free verse) by zodiac
.
"I'll quadruple this country's
chances when they invent a music
parents hate."
- attaché at an embassy pool party
Told that joke about
the housewife
(took an ear of corn, not mouth-wise,)
and she laughed
too long, cupping her scarf
up over her rotten teeth.
She'd a holy faith in breast creams;
said, I haven't eaten all week.
Don't know why. But by God,
something in me is dying to get out.
You could tell her what: a doubt,
a body buried. A mouth
vicious with teeth. It's a god-damn,
a corncob.
