Postcard Poetry: Day 15




Translation:
_____

Once when I was drunk at
a family court charity
event, a judge asked me
my favorite animal. I say
tiger. What is my second fav-
orite? Monkey. He tells me
I am the first animal, my
ideal lover the second. 
One Cuba Libre later he taps
me on the shoulder, reveals
a banana. No thank you,
I say, fangs glinting. Hiss.
Too much potassium, not
enough blood. /
