not watching around
those who have nothing

for the hike
uphill toward town

and then there are those
they reckon the nose
the sight of which they judge
as repellant
 

a man with machismo must
publicly flex his trapezius
in an attempt to flee that

inner pussy since even
as president he’s an
evident cocksucker and

so known to bluster and
puff preoccupied with seeking
a pecker to plant on his uvula

saluting treacherous sex he yodels
yes and leaps up onto another
of his executive loco motives

he’s an engineer in a cute
stripéd cap thus pumping
a rail around under a set

of radiant horn a semen
swallowing replicant en masse
a just mister blow job for cock he’s

a sucker with lips and cheeks
of elastic each of which exhibits
a varying and nuanced ability

to toot rotund profiteers it’s
his bottomless gullet it’s
something to do with a dick

he gives another peter a polish
and then he licks prick simply
to propitiate his craw

nor does he sate that
hunger for cock as merely
provaunt aye we’ve seen him eat

it even on prime time TV rooting
away at the crotch of many a
wealthy and corporate slut
 

well you
that

not being
directed

toward a reader
can

that
as it might

mean
being

able though
more generally spoken

in the vulgate
as slang

meaning may
this

as an exam
anyway

kiss
my

ass that
not being

literal or
having any

thing to do with
me but

not meaning
butt but

as an ass is
in this

sense a set
of buttocks

as if given
thought to the

saying
it being said anyway

with a certain
frequency and

even élan
though

obviously loosing
impact if stated

as may that
merely meaning to

give permission
and

so not being
incredibly assertive it

being often meant
as an act of

denial in
other words

no
though not necessarily

denying that
as a saying it

carries
a great deal

of flexibility and
nuance and

so justifies the use
of the verb

whether wrongly
for those

who might parenthetically
insert and thus

who always insist
that they are

in fact well
after having been asked

how
they are though

usually in context
it’s you

again not
meant in reference

to
the reader oh oh

well let’s
say that they

referring
to them as

merely
abstract

might
very well go

fuck
themselves that

being another
colorful

expression
of dismissal

either way knowing that
while

knowing full
well that

there are others who
simply say

incorrectly
that they are

doing good and
who is to argue

when someone might really
want it

that they might
harbor a funny

desire to kiss
the ass

of another
and why not as

a statement it’s
often useful

and can be
meaning that

it has an ability
of being contextually

funny
or not and might even lead

sometimes
to violence

even when others
might say hey

and consider it in
terms of a

challenge
without

shame
since certain needs

might even be
triggered

as an act
of imagination it’s

nobody’s business
to consider sexual

desire in relative
terms and as

a matter of
selectivity nevertheless it

must be admitted
that

some ass kissing comes
loaded

with a certain level
of shame

that being
in conjunction with

a distribution of
as usual

power rather than
between those

who otherwise choose
to

consensually
chuckle

in mutual ass
kissing as just another

harmless re
creation

funny agreements resulting in sorrows,
a memorial wreath woven

of wild flowers and including
a tiny round mirror, a

dirt spattered white bear and a tan
terry cloth rabbit, the poignant

reminder of one woman's arm
and her other hand so

blithely removed and then dumped nearby
into a storm drain as if she were never

anything more
