three poems by John Bryan

Mouldy Dildo

can't get
vibrating
thought out
keeps giving
me head.
kept for
three girlfriends
before i
gave it to
you without
telling and
now that
is all you
are left with
a previously
manufactured
production line
hum
needs no
greasing.
not even
of men but
moulded
to life:
Orca




reptile and drug

basking on the
boulders of inspiration
only slightly warmer i, than the
Statue of David.

The
sun erases
with a blink
tears: crocodile, alligator, gharial.

Kronosaurus, Ancient
God of
Time reptile, the ancient

creation's spirit hardens.
await
warmer
days
the big thaw's
slithering discoveries.




Biolysis Machine

My mother had a seance
Once and it accurately
Predicted she'd have
Three kids
Before she screamed
& fled the room

The thought
Is as
Having a wight's pork
On my fork

Yapping on about sperm:
Sometimes he stays where he is
Sometimes I give him away
Sometimes I cannibalize

He reminds me of my father
And all before him

My most honest
And sincere friend

Obsession for men:
Transcendence would make
A good after shave

But is that why I feel trapped
Because I can keep conjuring him back

At the moment
My room is alive
With many kinds
Of spunky ghost
