Notes From Ben, The Suicidal Chihuahua

Stalking the white kitten
through Longhorn cattle pens
road side sign says
Believe in Jesus
Christ Be Saved
By God

I rustle up enough chocolate
to choke a greyhound
AutoZone dude helps me track a lead
for old school antifreeze
huffin’ the sweet stuff
alley-wise behind the Walgreens
between dumpsters
tranquilized
wicked dreams
treed by a peck of pigeon-toed
cat-hounds
Didion screaming at the peacocks to shut Flannery down

Sunday morning pavement
cloudy  thousand yard stare
a  mutt I used to run with.
sniffin' that ass
well
piss on that smell
no safe-word today
I say
to Madam Bull Shark in her lovely
studded mohair wrap
