Shane Allison – Black Vaseline


Shane Allison

Black Vaseline


The face of Vaseline when it evaporates
The face of the sun blocked by Vaseline

The face of Mrs. Burton when I smother her with Vaseline
The face of the waterfall when it trickles Vaseline

The face of the giraffe when Vaseline is around its neck
The face of the kitten with its eyes glittering in black Vaseline

The face of the elephant when its trunk is dipped into a suitcase of Vaseline
The face of the farmer when the goat consumes his Vaseline

The face of the exotic dancer when dollar bills wet with Vaseline
are stuck down into the strap of her g-string

The face of the fire fighter who fights fires with Vaseline
The face of the police officer when he catches the jewel thief with Vaseline

The face of the chicken egg when it’s about to be scrambled in Vaseline
The face of the mule when it kicks over a canister of Vaseline

The face of the hamburger smeared with Vaseline
The faces of cats and dogs when it rains Vaseline

Confused faces with Vaseline
The face of the steel tongue licked by Vaseline

The face of a bare foot slipping in a puddle of Vaseline
The face of a family of four sinking in a river of Vaseline

The face of Ivana Trump rolling in Vaseline
The face of someone tasting what could only be Vaseline in their milkshake

The face of the lady who threw out the winning bottle of Vaseline
The face of the ballerina getting pushed into Vaseline

The face of the sleepwalker who wakes up in Vaseline
The face of the sergeant when he throws Vaseline instead of the grenade

The face of Raquel Welch when she rubs on Vaseline
The face of Vaseline when it is rubbed on Raquel Welch
