A Backhanded Gift, by Marshall Jon Fisher

Cheap cheap & cheaper, the shoe drops into the bucket
when we are brave enough to admit where we want to be,
with whom, and for how long. Dirty jokes spread Islam
thru pillow talk; tacos explode in silver mines;
& voluptuaries row boats with canaries in tow. But for a
Waco infusion, call your benediction contact. A serious house
cannot tolerate planetary jouissance wobbling on its axis!
I think I just said “oops.” Windows look down on doors
as Art's zipper debouches a closet of butterflies.

Gallery Hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 11–5 pm
