There are about 5 more poems in this cycle. Somewhere in my files I have the issue of Playboy where it appeared. Of course with some marvelous artwork(Can't remember wether is was Shels's or maybe Brad Holland?). When I had a live radio show on Montana Public Radio out of Missoula(Saturdays right after Prairie Home Companion for 4 1/2 years), on one show I read this for the edification, and dining, and dancing pleasure of the radio audience. Slightly apprehensive as to the effect some of the language might have on my audience, I checked with the station manager beforehand. He only requested that I give a disclaimer before I started, warning those of the faint-of-heart that they might not want to listen any further. To my great surprise, I never heard a complaint. Of course that could have meant that noone was listening in. But it seemed that since I came on right after PHC most people were too lazy too change the station or turn off the radio.
But who knows?
