Pitchforking geraniums for Mrs. Stein (Ode) by Shardik
On the corner of Redding ln.
Was the most wonderful house.
An old widow thoroughly insane
That loved preparing grouse.
Stuffing them with many things
was how she spent her golden days
Marbles, crabgrass & potato strings
because her urge was just no phase.
Mrs. Stein would don her lace
and start dancing with those birds.
She could give a fuck about saving face
Or the way her lipstick was blurred.
Such a dear, she made me laugh,
but then she'd make me cry.
When she used my pitchfork as a staff
infectioning her brown eye.
Then she fed me wholey halved
& tinfoil blackened by the sun
I begged to be congenitally saulved
permanently under her geraniums.
