The Flasher Vampire

Contributor: Robert E. Petras

I promised to give them something to remember
at the Halloween party for the rest of their lives,
me all dressed up as the Flasher Vampire.
I’d swing open my Count Dracula cape
and flash a big rubber dong and goose them all—
Snow White and the Seven Dorks, the Mojo Man,
Little Redneck Riding Hood, Prince Uncharming—
showed them all, showed Charlie Chaplin
some real slap-dick comedy as I dick-slapped
the gal wearing the nun costume, all the time
accosting them with my best Bela Lugosi “good evening,”
“Good evening, princess, good evening, Amish Amy,
good evening, your geekness and
I’d flash and swing my rubber dong and once told
the Genie if she rubbed it three times
I’d grant her three wishes.
Mullet Man I flashed, Wonder Bra Woman I flashed,
I even flashed them the flesh, then I flashed my fangs
--the real ones—
making good on my promise to give them something
to remember the rest of their lives,
what little remained,
their lives indeed gone in a flash.
