YOUR LIPS ARE LIKE
by Steve Blackburn

Your lips are like
an endangered coral reef
marine animals
from the class Anthozoa
that exist as small sea anemone-like polyps
that I want to stick my tongue in between

Your eyes are like
the eyes of starving Ethiopian children
big and brown and bright
When I gaze into them
I want you to eat my heart
Till it makes your belly bloat

If my love for you is wrong
then let it be as wrong as wrong can be
as wrong as ethnic cleansing,
and burning as fierce
as the Amazon forest

Your breasts then are like
the Twin Towers
and my cock a
terrorist-seized aeroplane
come to make you fall
like the infidel you are

LIMERICK
Nick Greenwood

A grizzled old tonguester from Michigan
Told his lover "I feel I must kiss again
Your pretty pink clit
And the fuzz around it,
And I will... if you swear you won't piss again."

AN EROTIC POEM FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN
by Glenna Sweeney
Come to me, Big O, let me find you
Let me loosen your sad robes
Let me taste the cardamom in your mouth
The cumin in your skin

Know that I love exotic hideouts
Know that I love falafel
And know that we both hate
The plague of American commercialism
Although you'd look great
in a blazer from Barney's

Come, show yourself,
take this vessel
and let us make a jihad
Between the sheets
Let us make the black dust
In your cave
Rise and fall rise and fall

One thing though, darling,
The beard
It doesn't work for me.


THAT THING ON YOUR CHEECH
by Katherine Showalter

that thing on your cheech
is not cancer
it is not an STD
it is not your twin who never grew
is not some mysterious female problem
is not a homeland security camera-phone implant,
or an iPhone for the crotch

it may be annoying
it may feel funny
it may look really weird and is probably contagious
but nothing on your body is unappealing to me
not even the areas
you overexposed to the sun
that are red and scaly

bring it here
that thing on your cheech
bring it closer
that thing on your cheech
let me kiss it
and make it better
