Drowning (222)
I travelled on a ferry from England to Nowray once
I was a drinker then and a fellow was pleased to offer me many drinks
As I did not have a cabin, I slept on a deck chair
In the morning I woke up, amazed that I had not fallen overboard
Ending up being food for the fish.

Love
I love to play tourist guide
It happens rarely, but superb experience when it does
Recent experience with a couple from Australia
The man, proud to tell me in laborious french
That he is 80 and his charming wife 79
Eventually, along the way
He tells me that a year ago he noted that she was beginning
To show signs of Alzheimer.
Progressing rapidly
The delicate attentions which he showed her....
That was pure love.

Le Coeur d'Alène
Le Coeur d'Alène was bleeding
So much atrocity in times past
And another body found in the forest just recently
A father of two
Mistaken identity
Killed for no reason and dropped far away
Like so much trash,without further ado
And no ceremony.
Le Coeur d'Alène is still bleeding.
So much atrocity in times past
And another body found in the forest just recently
A father of two
Mistaken identity
Killed for no reason and dropped far away
Like so much trash,without further ado
And no ceremony.
Le Coeur d'Alène is still bleeding.

Scorn
Her eyes
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear

Slasher
As he looked at her sleeping so soundly
He figured she was too much of a nice piece to waste
But he could not help it.
It was in his DNA
He had the knack to lure them
Do them
And then kill them
She would be Number Eleven
As he reached for hunting knife
And slashed her eleven times.
He figured she was too much of a nice piece to waste

She would be Number Eleven

And slashed her eleven times.

GOP God
There he sat in his somberly lit
Basement hole-in-the-wall of an apartment
Watching Mug-shot face Trump
On trial
Being defiant as ever.
His leader.
Time to move, time to act.
He loaded his two Magnums
Took extra clips
Headed for the 42nd street subway entrance
To the level of the tracks
Started ranting about a witch hunt and the stolen election
And started shooting wildly as well.
Basement hole-in-the-wall of an apartment

Juices
In the porcelain twilight flambé
The superbly delicious brew
Of fabulous scents and juices of you
Given while disrobed, shed of vanity
More than willing to embark
On a grand love party
Between thee and me
The love of my life
You will always be
The superbly delicious brew
Of fabulous scents and juices of you
Given while disrobed, shed of vanity
More than willing to embark
On a grand love party
Between thee and me
The love of my life
You will always be

Sleaze
It is from Australasia
That the spaceship
Headed for the wrong course
And ended up in SLEAZE
Sleazy
Land at the
End, on the
Aggressive horizons where even
Zeus never ever dared
Enter
(A.K.A. USA)

Signs of the times
So in the métro
This guy jumps over the turnstile.
It's not a vagabond
Not a clochard
Not a sans-abris
Not a sans-le sou.
Just a very ordinary looking young man
Backpack
Music gizmos stuck to his ears
His phone gizmo hooked to them
And too much in a rush to purchase a ticket?
No, no just not bothered.
His lifestyle is rich
Local transit sould be free.

Shame
So the biggest arms seller to
Saudi Arabia is the USA
Next in line is my own country
Canada.
Money rules all over
Nothing new
Human rights thrown
Under the carpet.

Wanderings and wonderings
He trekked all over the world
He trekked all over his country
He trekked all over his beloved Island
He trekked all over downtown
He trekked all over his neighborhood
Re-discovering. Nowadays
He's trekking the halls of this
Old Age residence
Trying to find new meanings to it all.
He trekked all over his country

Forever young
Galiah was barely two hundred years old
Creams and potions gave her the appearance of youth
Only her foul breath never lied
Though everything she tried
All romantic outings
Every little fling turned to naught
So terribly disquieting and sad
So death she sought, prayed for
But a long life was dictated to her
The punishment for defying
Zeus, her grandfather and mighty god.
Creams and potions gave her the appearance of youth
Only her foul breath never lied
Though everything she tried
All romantic outings
Every little fling turned to naught
So terribly disquieting and sad
So death she sought, prayed for
But a long life was dictated to her
The punishment for defying
Zeus, her grandfather and mighty god.
