I.
Feasting in Boston
Red Riding Hood, ravished by a smelly wolf
lay ruptured in the rhodedendrum bushes
The Cookie Monster who had worshipped
from afar, lifted her gently in blue fuzzy arms
and carried her to the gingerbread cottage
where the witch, for once acting human
shed a tear, stuffed, basted and baked her
to a golden brown.
Every one in Boston is coming to the feast
except the wolf
who sits on a distant shore, tossing pebbles
regretting the mistakes he's made
licking his chops
II.
Alice in the Hole
Alice pondered
as she plummeted down
(white rabbit spinning dimly below her)
why life sucked so terribly
Prince Charming had in fact finally showed up
but not for the pretty jailbait in a perriwinkle dress
he and Sister were shacking up at Disneyworld
leaving Alice to chase rabbits
fucking rabbit
where are you taking me?
III.
Peter in the Alley
Peter was at it again
in the alley behind the Bijou
he was a natural
sassy, fresh faced boy in tights
fast with his hands
he could turn a trick every 10 minutes
providing there were customers
and there usually were
but not tonight
sleeting rain, dismal cold
no one was out in this
no one in their right minds
unless, like Peter
they had to score Pixie Dust to fly
...
