i. Fandango (1975)
do you remember wearing skintight pants
there on a crowded island?
Everybody in the whole cell block
spread like an eagle for you.
ii. Eliminator (1983)
I like the enchiladas
and her brand new low cut blouse:
She likes the art museum
and machine guns.
iii. Afterburner (1985)
I’ll shoot it to you straight:
I was lying there thinking about basketball.
It feels so right: when you reach the end
you do it over again.
