Hard Lovin’ Anne Frank

by K. Silem Mohammad

 

damn I wish the Garden State soundtrack didn’t kick so much ass

stop telling me Anne Frank is some kind

of bomb-ass pussy

single mother chat rooms make my skin creep

New Orleans looks like a burnt snowman

most importantly later in life be yourself


downtown there are folks

filling out educational forms

who will pay you to put your panties on their faces


meanwhile over in West Des Moines

I distinctly recall three Star Trek novels dealing specifically

with a giant polar bear who smoked too much weed

snooping into the contents of a 9" x 7" x 5"

full-color embossed metal Conan lunchbox


Mr Hollywood has always been in the habit

of banging retarded beyotches

with invisible thermal underwear

he is a hot Nazi (a hotzi if you will)


nothing says lovin’ like a large blow-up photo of Anne Frank

not Black History Month beach vacations

not Hannah Arendt lampshades

not one of the 10 million reasons

I’m afraid to ask




past simple home
