UNVAGINAS

Listen to the audio version.

My poems are
Not vagina poems
Shy camouflage affairs
With pretty folds
With a pleasure nub
Buried all the way
In the middle,
But rather I write penis poems
Stick-out-strait sticks
Not too pretty
The message

For anyone with two eyes
Embarrassingly clear and hard
But something meaty
Something you can really
Sink your teeth into

PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Listen to the audio version.

Every morning
I greet Boogie
The Arab cook in my café
"Good morning Arab
Your sister's a cunt"
He answers
"Good morning Jew
Your mother's a whore"
After this I know
Everything is right in the world
I order shakshuka
The handle of the pan
Burns like hell

* * *

I'LL PUT IT THIS WAY

Listen to the audio version.

Put it
To my
Two lips
And my tongue
Will move
And move you
And you will
Know
Everything
I cannot say

 

Maurice Eidelsberg writes, "I'm a 59 year old cripple with Cerebral Palsy, who can only type 3.5 WPM. I was a box salesman and a droopy copywriter in New York City. I've been writing for 30 years and was published in the now defunct Quarterly. I self-published one book of poetry. I live in Jerusalem now where I occupy my days by obsessively checking the stock market, sitting in cafes for up to four hours, and dedicating at least 12 minutes to writing a poem. I'm currently horrible single and can be emailed: moishmoish@hotmail.com."
