Clean,Forgive
Plan attic CLEANSE!
For starters, attack myriad
piles of crap up there! Find-
ing “Pokeywaggle” under stick-
y rags. Extract, then fling in hour
into grimy toychest in the garage:
got filth for hinges!
Guys in yard now
blasting leaves from one
pile to another. Deafening!
"What did I do. Nothing!"--
from the chest in lulls.
Finally quiet out there, I wash
him w/the hose. -Please!
Careful near the Ballroom! snaps he
You MALE? I laugh-sneer.
-Correcto!
-Never knew!
-Your middle names!

Flies buzzed
,then died, their tiny
bodies on the sill.
Meantime we get high,
Hey! Shit cost enough!
Later Dilsy wakes in grayest light
saying apartment’s filthy!--
and we’re not far behind it.
So, scrub ourselves 1st,
then clean the place! Deep-
ly for this once!
This boy pre-
fers clean to dirty I profess.
Could've fooled me!--her voice
remembered music nonetheless.

Every man she knew
sleazed into sex.
Even the non-lovers with their sixth grade hints
showing the absolute glee of being dirty.
She gave up. Dismissed the lot.
Threw herself into work!
And then met Rory.
Entirely healthy, caring, fun! Wholesome.
With caressing words!
After a few months of undirty sex and
the warmest affection, anxiety flooded.
“Rory,” she informed him, patiently,
“it's past time for you to do something evil!”
