tacky Jackie is
all camo whacky
is fighting fabric fabulous?
or olive drab, a mottled mess?
this hunter man in field dress
grassy tan, all fragrantless—
let’s shoot a deer
or
go to the theater
cap and shirt
and vest
and pants
jacket
boots
a camo-mance
but
underwear?
the brown dappled stick
and grass
hide this hunter’s dick
and ass
I mean,
desert khaki
on his back, he
really gone
all camo whacky
tacky, tacky
I shake my head
tacky, Jackie
then there’s woodsy Rene
with mossy trees on her lingerie
real oak, a cloak soirée
the great outdoors, a body party
the garden of Eden all artsy-swarthy
wilderness wearables
are invisible terribles
hunters, truckers
feather pluckers
pseudo-soldiers
weekend warriors—
he’s got his
camouflaged vanities
she’s got her
camouflaged panties
what’s next?
a bush bash?
a forest fling?
will they find each other?
shoot something?
camo ka-blamo
blasts outta control
the cable guy
wears it
and so does J. Lo
camo is whamo
it hits everything, see?
mugs, lighters, panties
made in China
for me
my camouflage reportage
is tainted, the way I see it
and
my camouflage reportage
is painted so I can’t see it
