[ SciFi & Fantasy ] Can't See The Forest For The Pines
Everything known to be true regarding
the world we were accustomed to now
continues despite our absence without
any knothole glimpses through this
community of false pretense
Wayward souls
never to be returned
Uprooted from lives taken for granted
we are suburbanality transplanted---
disenchanted seeking signs and
prospects beyond walls guarding
your makeshift God complex
Need to see the forest for the pines
or...

[2015] Hurricane Eyer
For real
run for cover
There's a storm a'brewin
Get out of the path of ruin
or feel the wrath of Hurricane Eyer
Surreal
for sure
Deadly as Old Testament pillars of fire
Killer force of nature
Everyone from the state capitol to Big Sur
knows Eyer really blows
Tumbling rough
causing harm
blows the billy goat's
gruff right across the farm
Knocking the hen house into the pig sty
Sucking my big black cock
feathers and all
high up in the sky ...

[ Love ] Haunt Me
Did you cross over
to the Other Side?
Walk into the Light?
Or are you trapped here
in Time and Space?
I have to ask these things
because I can still see your face
I can still see your face
I still see you
taking a scalpel, cutting me from your life
haunting the chapel, still gripping the razor knife
You lived so selflessly
You died so selfishly
You bled so profusely
The stains refused to be scrubbed out
Shriek, scream, shout--- ...

[ SciFi & Fantasy ] The Door Into Summer
Jettisoned from a planet dying
meteor arcs dissecting a starry night's skying---
hypersonic trails of galactic snails;
sparks flying from farfetched fairy tails
Yawn
Way too early; not quite dawn
I step out the door Into summer air---
inhale a sulfuric reek quite stale;
watch the lights streak
sail right on by
Such weird goings on
All the while my neighbors
for miles around?
Gone
Without warning
I turnabout to see
mechanized, the monstrosity ...

[2015] The Door Into Summer
was shut quietly
rather than with a big bang
forty-something years ago
give or take a decade
when vacant lots sprouted up
replacing B movie drive-in theatres
now infested with mutant Grass Crabs
and hordes of ferocious Dandy Lions
having implanted themselves into society
deep within concrete chasm outposts
absent the luxury of potting soil
to toil slowly in a painstakingly
labored day-to-day invasion
plotting against the Human Race
cultivating the demise of our species;
such horrid horticulturists ...

[ Bad Raps ] Who Left The Dogs Loose?
Who left the dogs loose?
woof wuf wuf woof
I said, WOOF!
Never mind the four
legged kind with the hoof---
talkin' Beagles, Shi-Tzus
assorted bow-wowsers
German Shepherds
and Barky Von Schnauzers
Lest ye forgets
the greatest chick magnets be pets
next to the Vets
No, not the Double W Ones or Twos
and saviors with rescues
sheltering helpless strays
reforming their heltering skeltering ways---
mutts happy to slobber aways at your cheeks
gone missing for days or...

[ Bedbug Billy ] There's A Bug In Your Software
You might look upon me like I'm a tiny bug
I maybe short, but I'm a lyrical thug
That's right, Bitch
I'm Billy the Bedbug
What's up?
Look down
I'm here on the rug
Here to object to the lack of respect
as you piss me off---
diss, dodge, and deflect
Make others feel small
Build yourself ten feet tall
Big fuckin deal
I scuttle myself up the wall
Look you straight in the eyes
This forced perspective of mine
forces you to realize ...

[ Myth Appropriated ] When Herc Battled That Jerk
Heracles was a super hero of his day
The Lernaean Hydra he did slay
in the Deep Underground -
not by cutting away
the beast's many heads
as the stories of old say
No, it never happened that way
Instead of severing each neck
he rammed his Golden Sword
up the creature's ass
into its true brain
while crying out,
That's what you get for mything with me!
Yes, Heracles had a speech...

[ FS ] Simple Nude
Quiet even when loud
Prancing about proud
she is unabashedly joyful
without any sense of shame
Tip toeing the balance beam
between timid boy and a girl
untamable
Always lacking in pretense
Posing innocent; elegantly
poised for the snapshots I take
This photographic memory
keeping her simple nude
in frame of mind
as a keepsake

[ Tolkien ] The Doom Of Man
Doooooom
Dooom dooom
Doooooom
Dooom dooom
Hear the drums beat
ground shaking beneath feet;
the very earth is coming alive!
Pulse of ten-thousand strong
marching swiftly along
without break in rhythm
or mistep in their stride
Fueled by hatred
Inhumanity crossbred
---tormented...

[ Tolkien ] Destroy All Monsters
I.
Spirit, unclean
Gargantuan, unseen
Devouring the Light, pristine
Ravenous, her appetite
unleashing perpetual night
She, the one who begat Shelob
arachnid spawn from Hell
Fangs dripping acid, acrid poison
draining every luminous well
...
