Discount Adult Video Superstore
Adult videos for sale. Tons of them.
Adult means dirty here. Sexually explicit.
Not evil, necessarily. Your brainstem
might just have a craving for the illicit
but reasonably priced. Feed me, Seymour,
feed me, your inner Venus fly trap growls.
Overflowing stacks and shelves. A superstore,
Smutmart, Lustalot, descending into the bowels
of the planet, an upside-down skyscraper,
thirty floors below ground, each more strange
that the one above it. Copy machine and stapler
flicks a few floors down, fetishes arranged
with the neatness of a library. Bondage and feet
on 1, food on 2. Any desire you have ever had
materialized on film. Our billboard is indiscreet
so you know what we sell: scantily-clad
and naked bodies, teleporting onto your screen,
into your homes. Why shouldn’t fantasy
be affordable. When times are tough, the obscene
can comfort us. Shop here. Stimulate the economy.

ReplyDeleteThese two lines "Feed me... /... growls" made me laugh, as did that final sentence: "Stimulate the economy."
ReplyDeleteGreat subject for a poem, Hannah.
Broaching a subject that is bent to fit community based morals therefore subject to variant societal deviations and interpretations relative to legal application takes large 'cajones'.
ReplyDeleteMost people especially in light of this issue being in the forefront of the media with all the nuanced based situations relative to sex based relationships. Kudos!
I love how compare it to a superstore. I felt like I was walking through a strange version of Target.
ReplyDeleteEr... where was this, exactly?
ReplyDeleteWell, you've sold it to me, Hannah. I'll have a mixed selection under plain cover, please. That should slake my inner Venus fly trap for a while. Loved this.
ReplyDeleteThirty floors into the earth, you say. I guess some roots go deep, stimulating dirt all the way.
ReplyDeleteExcellent wit today.
wv: coite. I kid you not.
