Dip Dip


dip the thong lint into the grease

grease and sifting lake your eye

eye heel nettled in the soup

soup ,dream ,sock ,shirt ,crumb

crumb or spray my single thigh

thigh drip puddled and a cookie jar

jar of rocks and water ,dung money

money where your tissue used to be

be a sugar blister find your skull

skull diploid stacked and sotty one

one or straddled mice ,the cloud

cloud floating in the gasoline

gasoline and ice ,the spilling sand

sand plunger ,clock spinner ,eat the dip
