saturday morning juice

Noah Greyson Holub

La-la-la needle

stabs, sucks, swallows up

50– no, oops,

40 milligrams of clear,

horn-dog gender-juice.

prepped needle

makes my heartbeat

tremble et rend de ma tête

busy with nothing but

Fuck-fuck-fuck needle

in hand until

its fine tip

zips into muscle and hurts.

Is it done? Did it go in? needle

disappears, replaced by your

“true love and understanding”

kisses and your

“blueberry eyes” fluttering on my

super-healing Spider-Man band-aid.
