an almost accidental gathering of poets

Naughty Boy
When he brings home a whale,
she laughs and says, that´s not for real.

And if he won the Irish sweepstakes,
she would say, where were you last night?

Where are you now for that matter? Am
I always (she says) to be looking

at you? She says,
if I thought it would get any better I

would shoot you, you
nut, you. Then pats her hair

into place, and waits
for Uncle Jim´s deep-fired, all-fat, real gone

whale steaks.
