A Poem by David S. Pointer

Caloric Burn

Snakeskin lingerie magnified by
Tesla/Westinghouse light bulbs
nuclear powered lipstick tubes
crated aboard burning pirate
airships
racing to explode/// before///
///historical^+)*/expiration date
in Chicago 1919
in Hindenburg’s///// New Jersey
as mini-fire extinguisher daymare
as BBQ bodies fall from aviator’s
Sky*bloated angel hors d’oeuvres
