Poem: The Guru

 yoo hoo I'm a guru, a real one, not a cultured pearl

not a chicken bone


not some mojo bug in lucite

though I wear one

around the neck

to remind lesser mortals

the Loas that fly here from Haiti

the spirits 

the ghosts

you see the real blues person

grab a live cobra

milk out the poison into a juice glass

a small

like you drink OJ out of most mornings

drink it

then riff like motherfucker

whammy
