Carson D. is up in the soundbooth
looking below at the millions
and right there in front of Dick Clark
and everyone he announces
how much people depend on virtual communities
and suddenly I am there with my cock in my hand
and we are all there caught cock handed and dumb-founded
internet porn and gore news chi-ching in our eyes like
the casinos they put up all over the state
to rob the poor my father says
but mom argues they can’t manage their own money anyway
better to just take it and take care of things from the counter
but don’t you think, says Carson
this is some kind of sign
reaching out for human contact
motion in unision
the whole crowd red with matching hatsChevy
Chevy Chevy!
from down the square the news woman
takes a poll
who’re you going to kiss at the strike of twelve
family
friend
lover
stranger?
and these girls Carson they just want you
he says
“I will take them all”
news girl provides the smooch sound effects
while they blow kisses
12:02 my husband makes his way over to my chair
we kiss upside down
it has been a good year
now let’s go giddey up
find me someone to adore
and god forbid my dreams come true?
no no no
don’t you steal my dreams
don’t punish me with the wildest
fuck, I don’t even think my body can bend that way
