My record was 3 boxes
in one sitting, then shipping
outside the state stopped. Boxes
Became thirty dollars through
Amazon. Now it's cancelled completely. Zero boxes.

Hell’s Fritters
It’s no secret that fried clams
(mussels and scallops, too)
make me deathly ill–
that’s in all my records,
fifteen minutes later up they come.
Oddly enough, no prob
with oysters or clam chowder
(even nasty red Manhattan).
My secret is that
I still love them with
an Epicurean passion which insists
I try some just to see
if perhaps this time, this sauce, this recipe...
Urp... Nope.
Odder yet, fried calamari
taste just the same
without upchurning sequelae
leading to cross-sectioning
of countless innocent octopi
for the sneaking addled appetite
they slake by substitution
remains.

Good Times
For a good time, play Don't Make Me Wait,
Get Down Tonight, Car Wash, Ring My Bell,
Star Love, maybe some Sylvester,
definitely Donna Summer---oh, don't forget your Chic,
Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, for some rap Must Be the Music,
and top it all off with The Trammps' Disco Inferno.
The ur-fascists may have won with their Demolition Night,
but, like Gloria Gaynor sang it, all us blacks and fags survived.
