The raggedy man,

of the lunatic fringe,
goes on and on
about his caviar
taste though I am
quite sure plankton
would do in a pinch.

Biscuit fur throw

A new sport for all ages
So come right up and try you hand
Throw a fur biscuit as fast and far as you can!

Rich man in the jungle
armed to the teeth
with tools of torture
murders a tiger
in cold blood.
The only trophy
this bastard deserves
is a blue ribbon
for cowardice .

I saw her quivering hands under the wool coat
I didn't know she was cold or frightened
Standing there ready to testify against
Is this sympathy am feeling,
Was it for her or her kids?
Guess I never know

on one side
wind blew a wall of jinny~jo's
and we watched them
float to the ground

some stuck to the dew
pooled on blades of lemon grass
some fell to the earth
and dug in

on another side, the wind blew scars
and we watched the people
throw dice with sand and ocean
and sighed
when some threw snake eyes

The sugar of sweet
little girl dreams turned
into crack cocaine
nightmares after being
fucked by freaks
under the big top
of the carnival
for tips.

A quick fondle,
can be as gentle
as the sound of a harp.
Or as dirty
as the smell of gasoline.

I lay in bed, eyes wide open
Unable to sleep, there's too much commotion
The voices won't  leave my head,
I can not comprehend why they choose to speak when I need to rest.
They're louder than any instrument,
Like wild animals they can not calm down nor be tamed.
No matter how might I try to ignore them,
They still make me go insane.
I want these voices to leave,
Maybe death is the only way end the violence
I wish they get run over on the street,
Like the strays I see wondering.

So in an attempt
to become accepted
at my new job
as a warehouse
worker for a linens
distributor I became
a paying member
of the coffee club,
even though I never
drink the stuff,
An hour into my first
shift I made my obligatory
run down to Starbucks
for a bunch of tall cups.

My coworkers like
their java strong
so I figured what
the fuck when in Rome,
so on and so on
so down the hatch
it went and out
the port hole it went.
faster than you can say
chock full o'nuts .
I walked out with
an armful of diapers
and an ego like a turd
never to return.

she was so fat that she looked
like an over-inflated balloon

yet she could not help eating
to soothe her broken heart
even the memory of his cologne
made her cry hysterically

she knew she had to diet
to get back her svelte shape
but would she have the willpower
to say no to Taco....?

it was, she said
a fruitless endeavour
and since there were no fruit to consider
any attempt to elongate the affair
would be futile

then she smiled, threw a dart
at an atlas on the wall
and put a tiny hole in Easter island
damn, she said; there'll not be much
by way of gratifications

In Paris, it was the indominable
Gertrude Stein, who was a singular
force when it came to patron saint

to the artists who lived on the
Montmartre of the 18th arrondissement,
whose erratic search for their next

modèle pour leur prochaine affaire
dans l'espoir de changer leur vie en
le succès de la richesse et la grande vie

was suspense-filled as to who Gertrude
would raise up next from squalor when
she'd hang their work within her home.

the musician strummed his heart out
his melody falling on indifferent ears
his heartbreak strummed with his fingers
evoked no sympathy from the crowds

he wanted a fatal attraction
from adoring fans
as when he was yet unknown
but alas nobody loved him for himself

his limousine soon arrived to take him home
and the crowds stopped to watch
pretty girls slapping their forehead
how did they didn't know...

Frantically,
he scrimped and he saved
and did what he could
and fly to Vatican City,
he knew that he would
for he could not wait
to be
in an audience
with the Pope
in hopes that he would
be given the answers,
the key
to Heaven's Glory Gate.
