Ugly
If people are ugly
tell them
receive that slap in the face or kick in the groin
gracefully
with a smile of gratitude
if person is pretty tell them
accept same treatment
reverse situations
but same stigma applies
so shut your mouth
say nothing
end games
will end
whatever
you say
tell them
receive that slap in the face or kick in the groin
gracefully
with a smile of gratitude
if person is pretty tell them
accept same treatment
reverse situations
but same stigma applies
so shut your mouth
say nothing
end games
will end
whatever
you say

Fade you out gradually
Fade you out gradually dear friend
dont go with a flash
or bang
of silver trumpets
but fade out gradually
so no one notices
you are gone
in to ether and all that is dirt and space
when there is no sound
and mouths are zipped an silenced
will they wonder
i dont know?

towards the plasma sun
Nightide is love and tender passion
midnight sweet talk of after love and scented pillows
and Uht is stillness
hearing you breathe softly in my arms till morntide
whisper to me
o sacred chakra
you make valid the observation
of flaming lovebirds
flying to a plasma sun
midnight sweet talk of after love and scented pillows
and Uht is stillness
hearing you breathe softly in my arms till morntide
whisper to me
o sacred chakra
you make valid the observation
of flaming lovebirds
flying to a plasma sun

Going out
Gonna take you down town
put shoes on your feet
buy you a dress thats neat n sweet
from material thats made of jute
crafted from laughing parachute
change your life for the best
go to ball and f..k the rest
party swing is full of lies
toward a night that never dies
lead in up to ring on finger
for two time girl who always linger
stars that shine on love forlorn
to the weeping of yet another dawn

lead in up to ring on finger
for two time girl who always linger
stars that shine on love forlorn

Vanilla suite
Magic man has gyroscope eyes
over the top with stares
and wind chimes
fat girl not on top of things
tired lately working long hours
at candyfloss hotel
in trash tinpot city
56 bedrooms need cleaning
vanilla suite is dearest
with candy stripes n stars
velcro skyline drips n melts outside
rich people lay their heads down here
why should i stick up for you
just clean the room
shovel rich mans trash out everyday
gold and latex credit card
pays for hooker in vanilla suite
air conditioning keeps them cool
sweat dripping in to...

Miki
Fall in love with Miki
photograph of beauty
beauty in eye of beholder
other than internet folder
vibes of intention
behind apple
not yet bitten
sweet sensual juice
of pretty lips
that shine
with me
on the slow boat to China
i hope the voyage
will never end

Autumn
Cheating charity shop
in city
spectacles glow
in western sunlight
and Norma knows she's right
all the glory
is in
blazing autumn fruit
shoelace voodoo
ngue tied young nurse
at county hospital
eats nanchos for lunch
pigtails in bunch
marble eyes in jars
winking at stars
viper playing baseball outa season
for no other good reason
than the city is out off sync
umbrellas in the sun
foreign and undone
comet pastaral
bonfire
autumn is here

and Norma knows she's right

Saffron
Pretty saffron girl
shiny diamond eyes
sleekness in the California smile
style
that helps me
get out of my desert hideout
sends me nervous
with anticipation
excitement
juxtaposition on end game
explores my sex nd mind
xxxxxx this is only for you
a new beginning
naked dawn
so why am i feeling so forlorn
we spend a third of our lives in bed
so come to bed with me
spend time together
we will know each other well

no father
Recluse lives in his mountain home
without tv fridge or phone
poor hermit he is prone
to feeling lonely all alone
the sky is dark
singing of birds refrain
in another hour it will rain
you never knew old man who lived alone
without a tv
puzzle
nuzzle
i walked hand in hand with my father
down strange rainy streets where scenery blended
before my dreams were all up ended
puddles of water reflect on the ground
to a mans life never found
he is dead
dead
dead
forgotten is gone
without tv fridge or phone
poor hermit he is prone
to feeling lonely all alone
the sky is dark
singing of birds refrain
in another hour it will rain
you never knew old man who lived alone
without a tv
puzzle
nuzzle
i walked hand in hand with my father
down strange rainy streets where scenery blended
before my dreams were all up ended
puddles of water reflect on the ground
to a mans life never found
he is dead
dead
dead
forgotten is gone

lotto sting
Wasp hits jackpot
welcome to the world
antena clutched to chest
buzzing around calico honey pot
in system to save mortgage for bee hive
yellow black stripes rubbed to powder

I WISH I WAS IN A MOTEL ROOM WITH JUST YOU.
As boy
i was not sad or mad
though opportunities i never had
i was good and fair of grace
purity adorned my face
but now i feel old n tight n ill
and i must take my daily pill
to ward of fear that torments my head
for one day soon we'll all be dead.
relaxed honey woman
comes to me with cool flaxen braids
in hair flecked golden by sunshine rays
glimmering green opal necklace
crossing her breasts as they weave the light
and saffron is immortal
this afternoon
in sun drenched motel room
wallpaper smell of drapes and perfume...

VALENTINE
Valentine day at crystals
water pistol at the ready
not about fat cat Grealy
who pisses of for milk
each n evry occasion he gets his opportunity
been goin out of my mind worryin bout him
with spikes and poles nd zig zags
all tied up in ginger suit n zoot ball
