people watching
I'm eating lunch in the mall
so far I've pissed off
a guy on a laptop
by sitting across from him
in the crowded seating area
and he got up in a huff
like he'd staked a claim
over the whole fucking booth
and I'd overthrown his peace
There's a white guy
at the next table over
dressed in a wool trench coat
over a button up shirt
long pants and boots
he has a collection of
classic literature
with clearance tags
clearly visible
He looks like a cross between

Ave Donna Cicciolina
Beneath the gaze of falcon’s flight
she rose, a flame in endless night.
Ilona, bold, her banner soar ahigh.
A siren's call beneath the pink sky.
Her eyes, a hawk's sharp, so keen,
a prowler through a world's unseen.
Wings of freedom, hearts in a sway,
she soared like birds of fierce prey.
Mocked and praised, her voice defied,
A rebel’s cry where sounds truth reside.
Ave, Donna, Cicciolina, fearless queen,
in your sir shadow the all brave convene.
Through storms of judgment, skies of grey,
she danced...
she rose, a flame in endless night.
Ilona, bold, her banner soar ahigh.
A siren's call beneath the pink sky.
Her eyes, a hawk's sharp, so keen,
a prowler through a world's unseen.
Wings of freedom, hearts in a sway,
she soared like birds of fierce prey.
Mocked and praised, her voice defied,
A rebel’s cry where sounds truth reside.
Ave, Donna, Cicciolina, fearless queen,
in your sir shadow the all brave convene.
Through storms of judgment, skies of grey,
she danced...

A Bunch of Brady's
Am I Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marsha, Jan or Cindy?
Maybe I'm Carol, Mike or Alice.
They all seem friendly, they all have demons.
I heard that Greg was fucking Marsha & Carol.
Maybe.
I know I was.
I met Bobby numerous times at the strip club,
Never figured he was such a horn ball.
That's ok, so am I.
I'd rather hangout and talk to Jan,
She's my kind of people.
A little flaky and delusional.
But who cares, so am I.
I'm tired of telling Mike that I'm not gay
He means well but I'm not interested.
Cindy & Peter need to...

Italian Sex Symbol
Premonitions of Edwidge Fenech casts a spell over me
Mesmerizing beauty
Italian actress from the early 1970’s
Perfumed with a lethal dose of mystery and crime
Giallo Cinema
Her black cat eyes lure me in all the time
5 bambole per la luna d'agosto
Who done it?
Tutti i colori del buio
Will she survive?
Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer?
Will she remove her clothes?
Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave
Eroticism par excellence

Pasta, Cannoli's & Italian Progressive Rock
Italy has been a fertile terrain for musical groups since the 1960’s. The traditional song format was slowly renewed, adding elements coming from England and the United States. These elements were rock n roll, rhythm & blues and beat.
It was with the success of the beat acts that brought many English acts to come to Italy. Numerous English bands came to Italy searching for fame & fortune. A handful of these musicians stayed here, giving birth to this new form of rock called “Progressive Rock”.

seeking Polaris
geek out on me, baby
you don't know what your...enthusiasm...does to me
it's a true Dazzler
makes this girl wanna go Rogue
& Storm your Nightcrawler Beast
stalk your Mirage & its Mystique
don't Blink, baby
I might wreak Havok on your ass
I'm gonna throw out the opening Gambit
then step back
licking my lips over your wild Wolverine
talk Sunfire sexy to me
I mean...here I am
eying you sideways behind my Domino mask
with my Sunspot eyes
make me Mimic a Banshee
& howl at your Collosus
come on, baby...

Naked Lunch
William S. Burroughs was possessed by genius
founding member of the Beat Generation
1st novel was Junkie
hipster subculture sweeping the nation
After WWII morphine was his choice drug
Greenwich Village heroin was sold
became an addict for the rest of his life
shooting up till he was 83 years old
In 1951 drunk in Mexico City
time for the "William Tell Act"
highball glass on his wife's head
gun shot murder, that's a fact
Naked Lunch was his biggest seller
a series of loosely connected vignettes ...

Merry Nowhere Lazy Susan
Nowhere's a quiet place
for platypus glide by the stream
for influenza never fades.
Pasta twirling in bowls
and laughter fills the silent air.
Nowhere's charm is revealed.
Nowhere's the best place on the earth.
Hidden gems of stillness found
for nowhere calls to me.
Twirl, baby, all your curls
like a twister with no direction.
Sniffing someone's cracks in the air.
Nowhere's a quiet place.
Cockroaches scuttle through the maze.
Labyrinth of tambourine's sound in the far.
for platypus glide by the stream
for influenza never fades.
Pasta twirling in bowls
and laughter fills the silent air.
Nowhere's charm is revealed.
Nowhere's the best place on the earth.
Hidden gems of stillness found
for nowhere calls to me.
Twirl, baby, all your curls
like a twister with no direction.
Sniffing someone's cracks in the air.
Nowhere's a quiet place.
Cockroaches scuttle through the maze.
Labyrinth of tambourine's sound in the far.

The Co-Ed Killer
Young Edmund Kemper would decapitate his sister's cats
Hated his mother, which led to many violent spats
He'd play out his own death in grisly roles
Murdered his grandparents at 15 years old
He honed this facade in the coming years
While his private world contained much darker ideas
After only 5 years in a state facility
He fooled them all, with politeness & civility
Between May 1972 and April 1973
Kemper murdered 8 people, You can say that's a killing spree
A claw hammer to the head and a penknife slit her throat
The murder of...

Progressive Rock Scene In France
During the mid to late 1960's the world was changing. The younger generation was fed up & angry with the government and the Vietnam War. In the US & UK numerous psychedelic rock bands began to emerge. This hippie movement was gaining momentum and spreading their message with music. Bands like the Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Vanilla Fudge, King Crimson, Donovan, Cream, The Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, and countless others began touring at home and abroad. Many of these acts began performing in smaller venues in Holland, Germany, Italy and France.

Teenage Love
Love is flawed
Hate is pure
Real to me at least
I burn and destroy pop song lies in my room at night
People really listen to this shit?
Laughing uncontrollably on how weak and lame this crap really is
Thinking of poor, sad little boys and desperate, tragic little girls
Their cry eyed faces
Hard dick blueball realities
Soft-hungry pussies craving love
Their painful pathetic minds
Maybe they should collaborate and write love songs to the fucking moon
Hate is pure
Real to me at least
I burn and destroy pop song lies in my room at night
People really listen to this shit?
Laughing uncontrollably on how weak and lame this crap really is
Thinking of poor, sad little boys and desperate, tragic little girls
Their cry eyed faces
Hard dick blueball realities
Soft-hungry pussies craving love
Their painful pathetic minds
