She’s Neo-realist

Kyle Hemmings

She’s walking alone at night
forgot to take the pill
that would make her not see
the moon puking stars.
Her waist is a lie
brain matter originates
from fire & air.
She imagines mechanical
women making love
to their puff dolls
which only goes to prove
that sex isn’t.
The elfin street cops
don’t have the monogamous heart
to look up into her eye blanks
& tell her that Warhol is a fake.

It’s only a truism
that it’s raining
perfect tennis balls
in Italy.
There are not enough hands.
She wants to be cast
as dangerous but blue.
With Belmondo or Bardot
she would turn to ice cream
& trendy murders.
The sidewalks do not feel
her steps, nor care
about her long spindly legs.
She remembers the smile
of the box turtle
she lost as a kid
when the family
was not a shell,
when there was only hot water
& one-way valves.
