he stole
his brother’s
cattle
killed and
butchered them
sold the
meat
to the
nearest
BBQ joint
down the
road
where the
poor paid
exorbitant
prices
for a BBQ
sandwich
so much
for the
ethics of the
messenger
of
the
gods

I saw the
phony-ass
cowboy
on C-Span
running down
the street
screaming like
Richard Pryor
on fire
his boots
clapping like
forked
hoofs.
Channeling Norman Mailer by Doug Draime
Posted in Doug Draime, tagged poetry on July 10, 2009| 2 Comments »
After the cops tracked
him down in
Bogota, he confessed
on the plane ride
back to the U.S.
to stabbing his wife
to death with a
steak knife, but there
was sort of a disclaimer
attached. He swore he
was channeling
Norman Mailer, but
that he couldn’t
stop himself
at just one stab,
like Mailer did
But, he said, it was
a gruesome, bloody mess,
and that he wished
he’d be able to
channel
William Burroughs,
instead. And he would’ve
just shot her
in the head.
