Raining Fire

cinders pelting
umbrellas melting
crosses onto the water
retardant fabric,
 
religious
semiology has
no flame retardant
protection, jockey aboard
Judas Cash in all black, odds
bet and the bookies get their cut,
hot racetrack politics and preacher
smells the burn front row center bleacher
lower than an extortionist's toteboard, Judas
Cash finishes a winner one toke over the line,
it's raining cinders Jesus Christ is a million-to-
one odds! weed and the jockey's purse a sure thing,
smoke in the stables, jock itches for ride, what's inside
the jockey's other purse?

condom,
cockring, ball
spreader and Adam
Lambert's autographed
lipsticked-kissed picture,
signed, "to my blow jockey itch
who rides Judas Cash" - ring
of raining fire!
