- For Dennis
Our assholes aren’t so special,
buttcheeks the real innovation.
Go poop your shorts on mile 23 of a marathon.
Birds kiss cloacas,

Bio scientist spit coffee
sea cucumbers with their Swiss Army anuses

play Bach’s Sonata No. 1 in G Minor
by heart, I mean by ventral vessel,
pheromone-to-text their theses on feces
over one coffee-soaked semester.
Dr. Pickle’s got a PHD:
Pretty Huge Dilator.
Dustin King would always rather be sneaking a bottle of wine into a movie theater. When nothing good is playing, he teaches Spanish and runs a small organization that provides aid to the undocumented community in Richmond, Va. His poems pop up in the Potomac Review, Ligeia, Feral, Sublunary Review, and other spots.
