–Book 2 of The Shopping Mall Poem of Arabia–
A truly toothpicked towering creation
Laid upon marble bread layerings and foundations
The Burj al Turkey on Rye
with a piece of black lettuce
Representing Tom Cruise in the latest installment of Misssion Impossible
Hanging down over the side
Was never Bahrain
Strapped tightly in
From overhead
After heading over To Ferrari World;
Beautiful boys frolicking with their parents in a seaside pool in Fujairah
Canon balls no such thing as Modesty
Bus tour guide comes by smiling
Scandinavians Russians
I am caught across From the Mall of the Emirates
by the recreation of the old souk
and have to make it across the road for the book signing
by the exiled Prime Minister of Thailand Thaskin
Only so much vanity to bask in
An Emerati needs my table and I am up and around still able
“Poverty’ is the tome’s label
The United Arab Emmerichs Andre, not Jeffrey, actually it is
Larry, Gagosian who leads The Abu Dhabi shiekhs
Towards giant Jeff Koons cracker jacks rings
Well after all oil came out of the ground
Like the prize out of the stencil on foil covered box
and as the woman with black hair In a black top
Behind the wheel of the black Audi coupe automobile
Will tell you Via her liscence plates “I Love Oil”
The Burj al Khalifa the Shiekh shack baby yeah!
The clothes are almost unwearable
The heat is just unbearable
Sex sells Where it doesn’t even exist
The empty quarter is the one the person walking next to you picks up
the one which you missed
With the Bridge of the Horns
Eventually will come
Transcontinental access to the Haj in Mecca
Via a mass pilgrimage overpass
and Super cities on both sides of the Red Sea divide
of the world’s longest suspension bridge
Has been was is Bin Laden is not Aladdin
is not anon laden Tarek not Osama
In and on the Horns of Arabian and Africa
Where the situation is starvation and is not
Tonight at the Khalifa
The Burji Boys tonight
Tom Cruise is on a mission
Tom Cruise is a muscle hanging off of the middle
of the of the Burj al Khalifa
Tom Cruise is a Burji Guy
This poem is not about broke out of work malfeasant poets
who couldn’t get fucked by an Angry Jesus
if they were part of Occupy Calvary
and need to be put up against a wall and power hosed in black golduntil they resemble a deep South Aboriginal
or coal
This Shopping Mall Poem of the Emirates is going up 24 hours a day by order of the Emir
but offers connections to “Other Desert Cities”
Such as
Doha , Qatar
Palm Springs, California
Tuscon, Arizona
Tripoli, Libya
Marrakech, Morocco
and
Las Vegas, Nevada
Otherwise once deserted cities
such as
Hiroshima
Nagasaki
New Orleans
and
Detroit
Other deserted cities
upon the fruited plain
Seafood and other desserted cities
Upon the fruited plain
Other deserted cities upon the fruity plains
Other deserving cities
Some deserted cities are in the desert
while other deserted cities are on the fruity plain
Russian boys in speedos with dildos
in repose I suppose and the feeling grows
to do hot yoga in the Emirates I suppose
just with more clothes
The bridge of horniness
we will cross that bridge when it is built
There is a place called Queens and also a Queensland
the first being the borough of Queens in the city of New York
and Queens county in the State of New York
but there are probably other geographical entities where the plural or plural possessive
becomes the name
but in this case it was not a plurlaity
but apossesssive
the Queen in question
having been
Catherine of Barganza
the Queen consort of James ll of Great Britain
Who had too many beers?
Archie Bunker, too many people had too many beers
everywhere it seems except for in the Emerati Shopping mall Poem
Where the beverage can only be had at your hotel or your hotel
in the shopping mall poem
In this the best of all possible worlds
I would rise up again into a Vanilla Sky
A Gold sneaker turnaround
Mercedes electroplate corridor
Tom Cruise was a missile who grab the shaft of the Khalifa
and did not let go
Everybody Screaming holy Murder at Barney’s over absolutely Gaga
but as far as artists go Barneys as far artists go thats Matthew
Artists performance and otherwise are going ape shit over the GAGA boudoir
supoposedly stolen fro Colette
but Barney’s the high end retailer is owned by the Government of Dubai http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/23/business/23barneys.html
where Miss Germanoota
just might wind up int he cooler in her meat dress
Welll to
Yet unemployed youths in Dubai
come to play video games
here in the shoppping mall poem
Opacman first and foremost
first and foremost Opacman
Target is by Target
but here in this poem target is by Ralph Lauren
Dramatized scene wear for those high bounty prizes
engaged in all that was about to have been
Oil ministers, black market businessmen, teroorist hit squad leaders
ex-government chiefs in exile
There is more to the Mossad than does not hit the eye
The Mossad is now friends with the Emerati Shopping Mall Poem
whilst before they were just people they might know
There is no cash bar in the casbah
