Muse Named Kelly
Dance with a Chinese woman like a firecracker
Over the old trailer parks and
The dollar stores- dance the dance that costs
A dollar:
She says she wants to marry you for romance;
Her children are heavily overgrown:
They keep to above ground pools,
And they sun themselves perpetually like other
Things expecting metamorphosis-
Their scars are the wounds of past marriages
Graded badly- Maybe they can go to Disney World,
Or buy a Christmas tree,
As they lean into the outskirts of the dirt roads
Where the blue girls swim and the housewives
Have their own tattoos named after a muse
Named Kelly.
