Malambere, interesting piece....hmmm... let me be the first to admit that I have no idea what this poem is about. It carries a sexual content warning so I tried hard looking at it from all the possible angles, but still come up empty! Maybe I'm just getting too old. Would Grampa please take a stab at it... you're always good at figuring out this sort of things!

Graphic, mlambere
turtle neck periscopes = maybe I know this one
magic lantern variety show = the action?
herrings wept = maybe I know this one
he fell off the unicycle = oh, no?
wetwipes
woodbines = it's a cigarette, still symbolic
cowgirl in nylons, writhing
kippers = disappointment?
A lot of tubes and fish
You should post this in Youtube
A lot of imagination

OK, Mark. I visited your blog. It's neat. You've done a great job with it. Now, even with your explanation, I still needed to stretch to visualize the fine points in this poem. Solving riddles like this might indeed prevent the onset of Alzheimer's. For that I thank you!

Mlambere,
If you got BobChoi and M n m n I stumped, I'd say hats off to you. :-) I'd like to take a stab at it like BobChoi suggested but I'm quite lukewarm when it comes to deep poetry (or any type of poetry) only because I cannot write a good poem let alone comment on one. I haven't checked your blogsite yet so just bear with me.
The wetwipes and then the woodbines . . . cigarette after sex (I think).
Turtleneck periscopes . . . uncircumcised?
That's all I could come up with when it comes to the sexual content.
Now for the 'fishy' reference (kippers, herring), how should I put it.
Okay, . . . the wife asked the husband to go to Blockbuster (movie rentals) and borrow a movie called 'Scent of a Woman'. He told the clerk casually he would like to rent the movie about a scent of a woman. He got home and gave his wife "A Fish called Wanda".
