venus in her clamshell thing —
she stepped out and put her clothes
back on, said she’s not in the mood
for the whole birthday swing,
but she’s totally down for
some good conversation,
some hilarious dialogue, maybe…
a chat with a person
who has some kind of
engaging imagination…
her hair was red
and rippled down —
her robe was silky pink
and as soft as you might imagine…
I have a prescription
for a certain intoxicating
perfume, so yeah,
eject me now,
no — check that…
protect me now,
no — check that,
release me now
from your embrace…
oooh boy, her happy trail
was nicely shaved,
yes, perfectly shaped
and her performance
was something to marvel at —
a lovely fragrant ghost,
more graceful than most,
and her charm
will only multiply,
that is according to
reporters who were on the scene…
it’s 11:11
and I’ve made my wish,
and I’m wondering
where the hell is my time machine
