a hot wind 

peels paint from the lander

sunshine above the clouds

Since venusians bought the store
they carry all kinds of crazy stuff
pickled shark embryos
some kind of nasty lotion
that will take your skin right off
And all the candy tastes bitter

Since venusians bought the store
The fireworks won't go off
I can't read any of the comics
And my brother says
The condoms are all the wrong shape

I wish mr. and mrs. Li
Hadn't sold out
And moved to Mars
Maybe we should move there too

wheels like taffy
on the Venus rover

hot rod

Venus: hot as hell
monthly change
at last forgotten




Venus has no moon.

The expanding zones of crippling heat
humanity forced towards the poles
low latitudes almost ideal
for the Venusian colonists.
How clever
to make the Terrans
do the Venus-forming themselves!

no

charge

it said;

better not

have to pay a dime

considering the condition

of the room after the time trolls came through at midnight

I could see into the next room

three Venusians,

genitals

aflail:

I

screamed

and looked

away but

couldn’t unsee those

efflorescent appendages

or their horrifying moving parts—that’s when I fled

when they strip

Venusians take it all off

some guys like that

not the encore: audience

participation as canapes

Planetary Poem


Goddess of the burning rock,
choking fumes on heated plains,
sexy she is really not,
& Venus is her name.
