Back Next Monroed

With cow mooing eyes
she fastened her libido
on him
The clerk behind the crate
in the junk sop
He was Hollywood dressed
a Clark Gabled face
she was wonderstruck
and I who had all this consciousness
thousands of books
imprinted in my head
was thunderstruck
at her
who was Marilyn Monroed
just as she was
with itching hot pants
for him.

Irwin R. Shaw - September 8th 1986
