Fun Fun Fun
by Dan Ramos Lay
blondes have more fun, they say, and we do!
yes we do, we dance all night, smoke fags and
brag about how fast the butter on our toast melts
and clink clink smack goes the undoing belt of
someone we think might fancy us back. we are
loud and girly, with big mouths and a pink pillow
that pulls up and away when we speak. we stay up
clutching each other yes heads pressed together
and teeth knocking, clumsy, ringing like bells,
echoing in our faces when we kiss. clang bang wham
thank you ma’am! we like to laugh and use our
nails to scratch up walls and climb into corners
so we can jump down and frighten you all. we have
so much fun, there is no time for anything else
but that, and we sing together la la with our fingers
braided like flower crowns all wilting away from the sun.
we are having so much fun, and floating, all
as one. we walk into each other’s hearts and tuck
ourselves into warm meaty folds, make veins our new
home, arms covered in a thick gloopy red, so tender,
so comfortable, a new place, a new bed,
and we can even feel its clanking as it beats! and repeats!
listen here, come, stand near! mild and wild. and
lovely, and together and into our hearts, yes,
and our soul, and our love, as we burrow into bloodbeds
and dream big and dream blonde.
