Ever stick a vibrator
in your mouth, bite
down, and pull
the trigger?

I bought a new
electric toothbrush
that cleans almost
everywhere.

Lloyd Aquino began to disguise himself as a teacher-by-day, poet-by-night lothario because of the money, power, women, and free soft drinks at Subway the position supposedly afforded. That hasn’t gone exactly as he’d planned, but he has had poetry published in Pomona Valley Review, Suisun Valley Review, Turbulence, Underground Voices and Chaffey Review. And he doesn’t cry over the lack of free soft drinks. Not much, anyhow.
