POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The experiments continue; elements combine and react; new substances form; old ideas disintegrate; lenses filter, focus and reflect; the scientist and the lab rat – indistinguishable.
Hemlock and Honey
I’ve done so many deals
With all types of devils
Most of them saintly
In some kindly way
Funny how things
Aren’t quite as they seem
We sip from those cups
And sometimes the poison
Tastes sweeter
Than any nectar of gods
With all types of devils
Most of them saintly
In some kindly way
Funny how things
Aren’t quite as they seem
We sip from those cups
And sometimes the poison
Tastes sweeter
Than any nectar of gods

Soft and Hard
Soft and hard
That’s what we are
Soft hands and hearts
Hard dicks and nipples
She shimmers
And ripples away
Behind boughs
Of brown and black
And grey
That’s what we are
Soft hands and hearts
Hard dicks and nipples
She shimmers
And ripples away
Behind boughs
Of brown and black
And grey

This Day
I’ll use
What I have
First
Hating to impose
Chlorine
In the nose
One more lap
And it sticks
Long after
The rose
Has shown
Herself
With pencil skirt
All set to bloom
For teasing wind
And summer drips
On losing threads
Exquisitely
Tragic
A smooth shuffle
Of slow motion
Crush
Lusting forever
Like liquid sun
What I have
First
Hating to impose
Chlorine
In the nose
One more lap
And it sticks
Long after
The rose
Has shown
Herself
With pencil skirt
All set to bloom
For teasing wind
And summer drips
On losing threads
Exquisitely
Tragic
A smooth shuffle
Of slow motion
Crush
Lusting forever
Like liquid sun

That Rabbit
The August light
Burned like acid
A fool twiddled
His legs shook
She looked happy
On that big dark screen
Like a giant lovers lane
Within his mind
And she was
His star of everything
And he was
Her dying serpent
And she remained
Amazingly cute
You know
Like a rabbit
Oh he’d dig for her
And then
He could
Finally rest
Burned like acid
A fool twiddled
His legs shook
She looked happy
On that big dark screen
Like a giant lovers lane
Within his mind
And she was
His star of everything
And he was
Her dying serpent
And she remained
Amazingly cute
You know
Like a rabbit
Oh he’d dig for her
And then
He could
Finally rest

Confessions of a Lunatic
The high life
That’s the right life
The right life
For me
It’s pleasure
Mixed with pleasure
Infinity
Plus three
My mind
It crawls the ceiling
And looks on down
At me
The blur
Is out of focus
Neither eye
Can see
Blink twice
Behind the mirror
Blink twice
And let it be
That’s the right life
The right life
For me
It’s pleasure
Mixed with pleasure
Infinity
Plus three
My mind
It crawls the ceiling
And looks on down
At me
The blur
Is out of focus
Neither eye
Can see
Blink twice
Behind the mirror
Blink twice
And let it be

Her Fido
She showed me her Fido
And let me pet it
So soft and furry
Her silky purse
She liked me petting it
I could tell
Because she smiled
I liked it too
And I smiled a lot
Such a cute little thing
Her Fido
And let me pet it
So soft and furry
Her silky purse
She liked me petting it
I could tell
Because she smiled
I liked it too
And I smiled a lot
Such a cute little thing
Her Fido

Herr Doktor
My symptoms
Real and imagined
You are liberator
And accomplice
I have heard
Your colleague
When he said
Anything you want
And then I saw
His hands shake
Poor dear thing
And his wife
Covering for him
Poor dear thing
And I the patient
Dying every day
Real and imagined
Real and imagined
You are liberator
And accomplice
I have heard
Your colleague
When he said
Anything you want
And then I saw
His hands shake
Poor dear thing
And his wife
Covering for him
Poor dear thing
And I the patient
Dying every day

Soul on a Plate
What do you want?
Dear friends
I would give you
My soul on a plate
If I thought
It might make you happy
Just tell me
And I'll do what I can

Something about You
One day I hope to write something about you
Though I don’t know exactly what
It will definitely involve your gold pants
And the day the fan stopped working
And when you came out back to try and fix it
I asked if you might have the magic touch
And you said, “Nah I got nothin’”
And how I’ll always love the way you said that
It could be about the times I asked for coffee in mugs
And you recommended extra shots
And it always tasted better like you said it would
Or it might be about the time I asked for Pernod
And you said you had never tried it...

If I Were a Gambler
I’d bet
You have people
Falling in love with you
All the time
I’d bet
You’re flattered and
Let them down gently
When you can
I’d bet
You love wildly
With everything you have
Not knowing why
I’d bet
You leave them
And they leave you
Without good reason
I’d bet
So many times
Because of your beauty
You’ve missed connections
I’d bet
That strong image
And air of confidence
Hides your fears
I’d bet
When you’re alone
You like to cry
Over lost dreams
And...
You have people
Falling in love with you
All the time
I’d bet
You’re flattered and
Let them down gently
When you can
I’d bet
You love wildly
With everything you have
Not knowing why
I’d bet
You leave them
And they leave you
Without good reason
I’d bet
So many times
Because of your beauty
You’ve missed connections
I’d bet
That strong image
And air of confidence
Hides your fears
I’d bet
When you’re alone
You like to cry
