The Seven Deadly Colors: Red

Bob Johnston

Leroy is big and black and ugly
uncultured and definitely homosexual
but he’s never made a pass at me
in the two weeks I’ve been in here.
He’s not really a bad sort but thank god
I’m not a pervert like him.

I tried to explain it all
how I was driven to follow my star
till it led me to the holy grail
the perfect innocence and love
but why did I think he’d understand
when nobody understands?

He pulled a knife from under his mattress
homemade shiny wicked.
Make love to this, you son of a bitch
any day now.


My first loves were sixteen
but they were a disappointment
too long in the world still beautiful
but innocence all gone.

Through an extensive test program
I established that the ideal age is two
completely uncorrupted
innocent but oh so aware!

My last love was not yet two
a shiny angel face golden curls
and in her last minute
like the others
she really loved me.

from the series “The Seven Deadly Colors”; a series of seven poems originally published in The Lamp-Post.
