Not Sincere Enough To Pose Naked
At first, we thought that
Jennifer was not sincere
enough to pose naked
in a magazine. But that
was before she appeared
in Hustler's latest issue
and our eyes popped.

I and You
Sitting beside the lake
Watching hens swim with drakes
'Neath the boughs of a yew
As a gentle breeze blew
We took sup of warm stew
Upon grass topped with dew
While we sipped potent brew
It got dark ere we knew
The sky full of stars
As if with glitter bestrew
That bright twinkle in your eye
Kindled hearts' flames anew
I felt love in my bones
And in every sinew
Fully caught up in you
As we sat 'neath that yew
Rays shimmering 'pon the waters
Like the...

Wrong from the Start
(or "The Beast System Blues")
Wrong from the start
slow roads through this
brokenhearted
asphalt flower
business
strayed from the pack
into bits of byway passing
the gloomy pine
of a much maligned
interstate split
an eminent domain
for crooks & culvert-crawling
philistines and misanthropic desires
to decimate this boom car parking lot hole
with an off-the-grid wandering
a sprat-covered heath
for bulldozer sprawling

On The One Party Night Before The Wedding
Have I got a story for you!
While the rest of the
gang were splashing
around in the water,
Skylar turned towards
the bonfire on the beach.
She became shocked
at the sight of her fiancé
Ryan naked and probing
her maid of honor whose
name was Wilhelmina.

Darling DUP
My darling DUP
you have all spoiled me so terribly
you allow me to go through your minds
and all its intimate confines.
Some are dark and unabashed
Some come at you as quick as a flash
there are others that I would not have guessed
If I lift the cover, I will get to the best
Oh, my darling DUP
What is to become of me?
If I go away, will I survive?
it's almost an addiction
I need your words to stay alive
Can someone be lured into a written bed
With the right words going straight to one's head ...

Frog-otten
The frogs like to speak to me
They tell me lots of cool things
Once they said you loved books
And claim you only wear striped socks
They say you play pretend with them
And take them on little adventures
But no matter how much I talk
To the flies
To the ladybugs
To the grasshoppers
And even the frogs
I will never, ever get the confidence
To compliment you.

Nobody, Nothing, Nowhere
He walks down the street at night
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession

American Golem
Passive dirt in mindless motion,
numb of speech for careful meetings
covered stars
over-stares of lap
with dullard ties
nod or quake
to desk in stone
solidified-
ingested parchments
awaiting script,
monotone scraping
stalks & perks
sorcerer's code
through shortened miles
skyscrapers shake...
empty earth in shameless pattern,
toiling tongue with office jargon
smothered stars
on a spit of wind
with cyborg eyes
dead at...

American Homunculus
Things are about to break,
it's on the tongue of the world-
we're
about to
synchronize
fomented worms
in misery
zap with certain
electricity,
mass = hypnotized:
where will a town mouse
hide
from bill-collecting
fat cat rage
of rubes & cons
across the Rubicon?
This land is our land,
from bubbling cauldron
to breeding bored
in an overflow
of nowhere to go but
up
when the lights go
down;
I'm gonna be on...

The Adventures of Mr Wazzlepot’s Drinking Club
Mr Wazzlepot said to Frank Toefondle who said to Rose Ricenshaw who said to Mr R. Bumutton who said to Fred Lead who said to Crantoc Berryweather who said to Mark Steerwater, “Go and find me a boar!”
This is so boring writing this delightful drivel
Meanwhile at Mr Wazzleeeeeepot’s place…
The meeting place is old and familiar almost as familiar as Mr Wazzlepot’s old white mutton chops
It has a generous amount of space and afforded sea views and a turntable which doubled up as an emergency washing up liquid dispenser
Outside there was some...

This One Independence Day Idiot
I remember that on this one Fourth of July,
we told Dad that the coals are hot and ready
for the burgers and ribs... but that was before
Oswald poured water on the barbecue grill.
