Dangerous Women
- May 5, 2017
- 1 min read
Venus-fly-traps,
Theda Bara,
and Madonna
chewed up and swallowed
t-shirts,
bow ties,
and boxer shorts.
Sampson cowered baldly near Lake Titicaca.
Ignoring computer print-outs,
Lizzie Borden’s father
followed Cleopatra (in ruby sweat socks),
to Iceland.
“Feather duster or sledge hammer?”
she tittered glacially.
The North Pole erupted, granite to ashes.
“Burn, baby,” General Sherman said
to Joan of Arc (in her mink garter belt),
an obelisk smoldering in his jock strap.
His watering eyes saw the crystalline
Arc de Triomphe dissolve,
a tidal wave of corn meal mush.
Boy scouts danced two abreast
with female cobras
in Indianapolis.
Marc Antony warned them,
“Don’t French-kiss.”
But Doris Day,
wearing a gardenia smile,
stiletto high heels,
and marble evening gown
sang “Que sera, sera.”
