I want to watch you take a shit
It's totally personal
Nobody talks about this
I do
I wanna watch
Hear some grunts
See how long it takes
Wonder if you take your phone with you
I have lots of questions
You ready ?

If Frost Met Bukowski, Would they Sniff Glue Together ?
Pretty enticing title huh ?
Hard to resist opening
I'd go for it too
Alas though you've been conned
I know this place
It's all about reads
Sex sells
Misery a little less enthralling
Tried posting elsewhere
Came home though to my brethren
Freedom Is so cherished
You know it not till you wander
Out there though in the wild
You get the broken people
Not so eager to suck your dick
Just because you posted
Thick skins needed
Real world crazies
Occasional...

Like Me
Rats in a cage
New sheriff in town
Cleaning up this toxic waste site
Segregation
Weak writers carry fancy poet's water
Or in this case
Extreme vodka
No room for sissies
Switch blade stanzas
Slice and dice
Blood orgies
BIG EGOS WELCOME

I bought a 6 pack of beer at 7:30 this morning, cashier asked if I wanted a bag?
No bag
I want my neighbors to see me
Carrying a 6 pack
Early Monday morning
Good morning Mrs Jones
Why the dirty look ?
Are you going to pick up your dog's shit ?
If you call that puny pile of fluff a dog
Bad attitude
Start the day right

Took my Sexual Harrasment Test Today
Took two rounds to pass
Was almost hoping to fail
Sure fire way to early retirement
I never quit, they have to can my ass
That's different from caning you
Didn't see that on the test
Bottom line
I took 5 days away from this cesspool
This place is boring as fuck without me
My bitch walks on a leash
What does yours do
Get it together fuck bags
You're only as good as your last poem
I'd like to see Bukowski take that test
Drinking cheap wine out of a paper bag
Laughing at the questions ...

Not a walk in the park
Old copies of playboy strewn
they looked tired, time served
I thought of a time when Miss Worlds "speak"
" I just want world piece" fat chance
the girlfriends anniversary flowers
drooping like sex dives dull domesticity
"just going out for a breath of fresh air Honey"
she was sewing some leggings that had a split in the arse
the tv played Mcdonalds yellow arches
I slammed the sticky front door
everywhere I looked was outrageous BMI
where did all the waist go
the Hourglass Bar, full of waspish women...

Ballad of Henry Chinanski
Bacchic poet laureate
Drunken bard and ladies man
Oh, how this troubled troubadour
Of the dregs and the whores
Spoke to my pubescent agonies
And manhood defiiements of the mind
Rhapsodies and rhymes
Portraits of a man drowining
In his own madness
My neurosis answered
From your kingdom of dimly lit taverns
And desolation morgues
Trash bin philosopher
Scavenging through existential ironies
And empirical monuments to the ill-fated human condition
Sing to me life's hells and hallelujahs

The scent of Copperheads
Burning through
Archaic sentiment
.....But burning
And an appreciation
An appropriate passion
For what is not gold
But the tint of Calx
rusted root
Or the rust of a tin can
Planted in soil
For generations
And the dangerous space
That leads the Copperhead
Ahead of Chevron tiled slither
A scent of foreboding fortune mixed with feces and intent
But comes to some
The smell of cucumbers
To some plain foul
As flared and frightened nostrils
Take it in
And exhale no art ...

a song on which Kafka choked
a
door collar
o my dug pup shame, a pet
you shuffle between the corduroy
and the cardboard
of your mousy brown hair,
sea shells
bo’ chained and spliced
to your necklace; a heavy pence
worn like a five-fifty dusk,
shaken,
jaded dark-berry weather
let Jayne play the middle- weights,
let her land-lady mark each banister scuff,
just play and lift your nightie sweet sunset,
a sweet known shade for my...

POISON APPLE
It all starts with:
you don’t even like whiskey
but on a whim you mixed the Oban
with honeycrisp apple juice
smitten never mind
no scotch gourmand
would dream of such an
lol thing
Poison apple thus born
and too the argument
forever yesterday
tried to convince you
at the rate we’re going
should buy the twice-as-big
generic blended bottle
(Oban is meant to be savored)
but your focus on the
corn and peat
would yes ruin the experience
Last straw:
you said I should just buy the big one ...
