Mad dogs, tramps and glazy-eyed poets

    Aspiring heavenward

    And/but/while

        Cruising angry firestreets

        Radio demon-thrall

                                        Searching shadows

                                  Reading mysteries in

                                        Blame-red boozy neon

Radio cruiser

Nite Ryder

Fire-eater —

                                       Slithermusic whip-crack

        Tight skirt, redlight

        Puckermouth, prettybaby

                     Maybe,

                                                     Heybe,

                     Hithercum

                                      Radio killerqueen

         Love me

                                         Lick me hollerwild

               Heavenward aspiring

               Hoping yes, the grand yes —

And/but/while

Firestreet cruising

Radio loverme

Killerqueen

Wired, desperate

A wink,

A sway,

Hot-lipped sashay,

Beauty-boy

Druggy-lidded,

Watching, waiting

Sweetly siren-pouting

                                       Car a bubbled planet

And, oh, the music

          Sensor-round-sound

                         Creamsong, dreamsong, music-magic

         Erupting space

                  Lover me

                                         Lick me radio

                 Tremble-sing my glistening thighs

       

Heavenward aspiring,

Hoping yes, the grand yes —

           

                   Mad dogs, tramps and glazy-eyed poets,

                           Cruising urban firestreets

Radio loverme

      Neon blazing

          Midnight solar drone

City-wild wired,

Hot,   restless,

Reckless, prowling,

Can't help it, darlin'

On the loose again.
