variations on 2 richie b poems

that's where i see
your face baby
so many painted poses 
on cristoforo's toes 

taking off 
his designer 
brautigan shoes

is there anything
more beautiful than...
oh fuck it
who gives a shit

The Richie B poems... here they are 

Discovery

By Richard Brautigan

The petals of the vagina unfold 
like Christopher Columbus 
taking off his shoes. 

Is there anything more beautiful 
than the bow of a ship 
touching a new world?

 

The Historical Interpretation of Red Armour

By Richard Brautigan

It’s the color of 
Christopher Columbus 
taking off his shoes.

That’s where I see 
your face, baby,|
on a tank,
all around the main gun.
