Turkey Chili

Your turkey waxes philosophical on my chaise of hard-earned cash.

Your chili powder wants to smoke my throat for our Christmas card.

Your tomatoes see that yes I was hardcore-judging your pen wipe.

Your kidney beans squirm as I plunge you into locust breath.


You onion, you were already swallowed by the bald layers of your imprint--

but I kept savoring because

when it comes to skinny white men like you

I’m a masochist.
