Mishearing Again 

by Stephen Bett
 


Put your pillows
all in a line
I hear Madonna on my
daughter's ghetto-blaster
good advice far as I
can tell, & serviceable
dense in possibility
Beaten to submission, fluff,
shoot in a row (quack quack)
prioritize pleasure partners, less
extreme than barrel sports
advance posture, soft
linkage stuffed boy toys,
dispensing S & M instruction
Most of it, second thought,
woman with a case of
been there, done that
the fame vehicle thing
just stacks up mileage
til another choice of
waxing
