Real Minotaurs Like It Dirty

1.

Not like this … bird song

dappled sun, cedars: this is

a goddamn haiku

2.

Minotaur, it’s time for your close-up

You’ll be played by a saggy old man with a proud bearing

She’ll have great knockers, relax

Come out of the fucking labyrinth already

And keep the hanky-panky clean for the school tours.

Shame’s out these days.

3.

Look at those randy dancers:

can’t keep

their hands off each other.

The Rodins are blushing.

4.

The only one having an orgasm here is the cinematographer.

5.

Where’d that dang Minotaur get to now?

That’s the problem with the talent, always running off to cool their egos with mossy stones.

Minotaur! Minotaur? Don’t make me

                  go all Anna Halprin on your Mediterranean ass.
