Two Poems

ON DYLAN'S NEAR ARREST

TODAY
dylan
was pulled over
* * *

by one
of scottsdale's
uniformed officers
and told he was
illegal
* * *

dylan
who is all of
21-months-old
was
nude
from the waist
d
o
w
n

this
Act/set/off/the/man/and
dylan
was sent inside
with the comment
that it ain't just
quite right to show
your unclothed self
at the ripe age of
almost two because
you never know who
just might be watching
* * *

dylan
was a near-criminal
for premature penis
exposure
thereby
jeopardizing
his hopes for
the white house

LOVE?

Sparkling are the eyes
Downy are the cheeks
Soft is the mouth
Warm is the look
Is it love?

Gentle is the touch
Warm are the breasts
Meandering is the trace
Enclosive is the embrace
Is it love?
