POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A modern shade of the Marquis de Sade, come to massacre the masquerade for the meta-god.
Pelotok
Selfie stick, hi! My name is Jennifer.
We can be best friends like FOREVER.
I could mount you on my mom's
exercise bike. And we can have zoom
parties and binge-watch the weather
with our smart watches altogether,
or whatever. I'm soo clever! LIKE!
(Eat that Peloton!) Ugh, Spring Break
#hashtag AtHomeAloneAgainInBed
because of Covid, remember? Now,
watch me take this silicone dick...
Tiktok, tiktok, tiktok, tik-. That one
goes out to you, #hashtag TREVOR.
Guess what!! My parents...
went on a trip like last...

Moth Ears
There are hidden radio waves that guide
the dead from their early graves and I'm
growing my moth ears tonight, Mother,
my heavy body steers your way.
The solitude from the TV tube has
electrified my inner-nude and rigorous
maggots wriggle and play. Moth ears grow;
magnets make my coffin sway.
Can you hear my broadcast, Mother? My
antenna sits erect today. I'm willfully
wrong, despite being dead so long and
my ears ridden with decay.
But the ground is sour... since it's the
witching hour, phantom maggots glow ...

Coup Du Journalism
The forecast for Cinderella
is a clean sheet of paper
with no lines,
so she can crumple it,
and watch the characters
collect in the contours.
Comments chime-in,
the concourse
crash-lands at her feet
without instruction
(which is fine)...
she doesn't need cliff notes
to deliver her special
brand of destruction.
Scissors and staples
go together like
cigarettes and wine.
Paperclips and Post-Its
write the cover of
the New York Times.
Dysfunction is her nature;
immaturity on a...

The Season's Stream of Nutmeg
She's the season stream of nutmeg
scent to slake miasmafalls
that toxic-lake a dried monsoon
below the tethered jelly walls.
Listlessly, I fall like offal,
further laundering the visions
of the Comfort Inns that pall me
heated porphyritic fissions.
In this suite my flesh is turning
bated burn-of-soul for you
that I may fast-unforge my fingers
and escape the nothing through...
But the molten cast's enfolding,
burbling my shapeless goo
into a hemostatic plasma
which my asthma can't subdue.

Shhh! ...hark.
Shhh! ...hark-
Often it happens, and lots with low-T.,
when the shit gets excited 'n' fouls up the P.,
that fish once united, are now schools apart,
and captains of ships command shots in the dark.
While the sea urchins see, and sea casualties rise,
embarks a shit surgeon to clear up our eyes.
Prescripts are decided, and letters remarked,
but first we must cut off the fin of the shark.
I've seen this before with trout and with carp,
they tend to get fat, spawn dull, and fail sharp.
And as with all warning of swimming upstream,
any...

Nom De Plume
Wormwood pool lament
our lady upon high;
'came in a jar and went
jet-black in cherry pie.
Cherry children ferment
her moldy ass goodbye;
Pluri-lolita rennt
purple haze in her eyes.
Graping her dissent,
sherry clouds in her thighs
refrigerate repent, sharing
ergot shots on rye.
For nigh's the brackish hour
Hunger taps us in, undine,
luscious gent in lady towers
legging entrails drag the sky
with a punctuated scent;
absinthe laced them in fungi.
Arsenic casein chased in mint ...

This Side Neveryores and That Side Nevermind
...So here's a plow and hedger
for your Edgar Allan POEA trees,
your rows could use a ledger and
scarecrows should line your properties.
Our posted speed's in error
(rural bureaucratic royalties),
so do us all a favor...
'cause I have special needs.
I know that we're new neighbors,
but we'll be best frenemies! :D

No Kidding, Seriously!
I like kidding!
It's a little like goating...
and goats are no joke.
If you're not careful,
someone might get your goat.
Then you won't be kidding anymore.
