Reba sink a boulder in the water
reba tie a cable to a tree
reba stuck in a game of lipstick perfume flypaper
reba press a razor to a slide cross a needle with a prune
Knee deep in the motel tub
reba dangle ladle form her lip
dip
sip
reba babble to the nag with the lipstick perfume
mutter to a farmer in a truck
Take a peek at the cheetah, reba
cheetah on the prowl in a cage
sink a boulder in the water
tie a cable to a tree
Mutter "nature" to the nag
with the lipstick perfume
reba flush a fleshfarm leftover
thunder in a circle
down the pipes
Bag it
tag it
sell it to the butcher in the store
Reba put a stopper in the bottom of the tub
picked up a jar unscrewed the top
and watched it drop into the water
A little scoop of plaster mix
some coffee grounds and mud
and then she stirred it with the ladle
that her grandmother had bought her
threw in a pot of melted wax
a forefoot and a hoof
apple core, worms galore
and a can of some corrosive
Coconuts and chloroform
some wicker and some cork
toxic waste, some purple paste
she hoped was not explosive
Reba dip a ladle for a taste of her creation
and she knew that what she make
would be the finest in the nation
