neon furs
by Hezekiah Allen Taylor

look most appropriate on a whore
the hot pink reminiscent
of hard-used vagina
the bright orange
a plea for lipstick
the black tips of each matted patch
dyed to match hair

everything has to go together
it's a mail of deeds
past and future, a chain
(forgive the pun,
she's beneath us)
