Lagniappe - A to B
April 17, 2016
The king
pale and frozen
set out
to find the toast
of the town
Where they gather
their opalescent shell
the green faery
feasts
on eskimo ice cream
amused
her mouth full
of arrack
and
devils dung
Yelling at Alexander the Great
to pull his
stink finger
out of the pot
she stirs
Her eager pupil
pulled out
early
from the school
His catholic plaids
rendered black au bleu
as they plunge
him in
the ferocious boil
The Jewess
with her alchemy
and hot box
loses her sight
but keeps her hand
tight with hoodoo
and
13
beignets
Belle Helene's
voluptuous bottom
lured Paris
to bloom
out of season
The bonne femme
accepted his reluctant offal
mingling in midnight
boudin noir
they
bubble
and
squeek.
