All my ai and Peggy Martin
My thesaurus and my dictionaries
serve as artificial intelligence,
my mute aide-memoire spells and solves the quizies
then by magic my word grasp is, immense...
And for guys getting in books can be, hot
to spread wide the covers 'gainst the stiff spine
try that with 'lectrics to see what you've got
a solid bet, a call to, nine, nine, nine...
Let the lazy ones dumb themselves right down
with pretty pictures captured on the net,
and a dozen words which didn't bring a frown
of concentration,...

Drunk on Chance
I am drunk on the chance of my brief writes
as my pen chases its shade 'cross this page,
to a future as some bright leading light
Of fame as these writes write light to my nights
and I am hailed the greatest of an age
I am drunk on the chance of my brief writes...
as I believe I will reach greater heights
and take my rightful place on the world's stage
to a future of some bright leading light
and my blessed pen writes ' you have this right
and if need be...

church fire
I'd walk into a church fire
If it would burn away my sins
I'd let the flames dance on my skin
Until there wasn't any left
If it would burn away my sins
I'd let the flames dance on my skin
Until there wasn't any left

I'm broken and that's okay
I'm broken and that's okay
Not everyone needs to be whole
I don't need to spend my existence seeking to be fixed
I'd like to just exist right now... In this moment
I wish people would stop arguing with me
They don't like the word broken the way I use it
It's negative and they love me... They do
I'm special, unique and irreplaceable
They want to help me so much to get better
But I'm tired of being a project to myself... To everyone
Someone to pity and love in the way
That Pound dogs and Foster kids are loved
Love laced with with...

our perfect imbalance
I thought we changed enough
Where we wouldn't hurt anymore
Not each other...not ourselves
But now I think we're incapable of it
We'll never change enough for...
For the hurt to leave us alone
Even for a moment... Just a moment
I wish... I really do wish that I could've had
That moment where you said you loved me
Now it will never happen... Not for me
You'll love anyone but me... I am not owed your love
It isn't your fault that your love for me isn't enough
That it will never be the love I wish from you
We will always be the...

Even Reds Get Moon-eyed On Saturday Night
Now, you have me at the video store. And I was promised the first pick of the movie. I have a yen for something with a socio-political subtext. Here, is one, ‘The Trial’ an Orson Welles movie based on the Kafka novel. That is my choice.”
“How Kafkaesque, but watching a guy accused of a nameless crime sounds kind of dreary.”
“No not at all! You just have to get in the right mindset. Paranoia can be healthy in small doses like salt on French fries.”
“Then what about ‘Rebel Without A Cause?’”
“My urban rebellion has a cause. But...

Lay back Let it happen
Remember to breathe
crossing
that twitch before
dyings itch
Gasping
dry wretch
Pulled back away
Lay back let it happen
Kaleidoscopic mathematical equations
Clowns exploding confetti
Somewhere a warm hug
All those bright lights smiling
Remember to breathe
crossing
that twitch before
dyings itch
Gasping
dry wretch
Pulled back away
Lay back let it happen
Kaleidoscopic mathematical equations
Clowns exploding confetti
Somewhere a warm hug
All those bright lights smiling
Remember to breathe

Weeping Salty Snackers
With five fingers waiting to crash
into my mind's marinade sauce
weeping on salty snackers
pinned to my lobotomy
cranking up the axe
five fingers waiting to crash
punking the calliopie
listening to the mouse scream
for cocaine and morphine
with five fingers waiting to crash
into my mind's marinade sauce
weeping on salty snackers
pinned to my lobotomy
cranking up the axe
five fingers waiting to crash
punking the calliopie
listening to the mouse scream
for cocaine and morphine
with five fingers waiting to crash

Them, you and me
I look at you as if I did not know that they were looking at me,
Even though I know you were looking at me as I looked at them,
Gazing at me.
Click!
The enigma of eyes have undone their caps.
Panning down from my lips, to my neck--another sigh escapes my crevasse,
Oozing from the clavicle bone, heaven's milk dripping from my two succulent taps,
Just above where the heart lies.
Speaking like chocolate to their Vaseline lips.
They exhale, comfortably leaning back, with legs spread wide...
Even though I know you were looking at me as I looked at them,
Gazing at me.
Click!

Panning down from my lips, to my neck--another sigh escapes my crevasse,

These lifeless streets
Listen closely
It is
Perhaps within
The cracks and gaping potholes
Life remains
Ask those weeds that push on through
It is
Perhaps within
The cracks and gaping potholes
Life remains
Ask those weeds that push on through

John comes home with some unsettling news. “Gloria, my TV land wife is with child and wants to be a stay-at-home Mom.”
“You called her wife instead of the leading lady.”
“Think but this, and all is mended, that every pout advertises some lipstick and each wink is a sales pitch for mascara, while kisses are the promise of a lost passion to find its song again with Aloe Vera skin glow.”
“Your kissy-face costar is a sore subject, but not so different from me. You need a new girl on the set.”

Jamboree
Young catholic people from far-flung places are arriving
in Lisbon, plain young boys and girls looking sober smiling
and waving to the camera.
Dressed in jeans and T. shirts that say something about peace
no hint of rebellion here, and no drugs needed as they are filled
with the holy spirit.
No uppity youth here, no green hair no torn jeans showing
knees and thighs, and no placard protesting against
the rotten government, the rainbow banner is banned.
In Portugal this is a big deal, people are jubilant...
