My Baby Doll - Part VIII
It was a day that every pet owner has to face.
You died four years ago and it was a disgrace.
Since you died, I've lost more dogs than you.
My heart was broken last year when I lost two.
Just one year ago today, I had three dogs but now I only have one.
When it came to losing you and my other dogs, I would've rather been shot by a gun.
You were my baby doll and I found you dead four years ago tonight.
Each and every person who has lost a dog can understand my plight.
When I say that I loved you and my other two dogs, it's no lie.
My heart was...

A deer in the headlights
Lance Lyde of Vermont struck a deer on Highway 2. Not sure whether the deer was dead, the distraught man quickly got out of his truck and went to render aid. Just then, another car coming from the opposite direction hit the deer again. Lyde was impaled by the deer's antlers, killing him and whatever might have been left of the deer.

A Banquet
I find it hard to believe
That it's now July already
My head
Lies still in March
Away with the wild hares
They
Eyeing the black mascara clouds
As a sliver of moonlight
Glides through
Into a dingly dell den
The Hares
Eyes now gently rolling
Over the shadowed meadow
Slowly disperse into an ethereal wind
Their ears
Floating like sails
The fox arrives
Knowing
That he would always be to late
For this strange feast
No jug of hare
He would return to his earth
With a rabbit
To den dine ...
That it's now July already
My head
Lies still in March
Away with the wild hares
They
Eyeing the black mascara clouds
As a sliver of moonlight
Glides through
Into a dingly dell den
The Hares
Eyes now gently rolling
Over the shadowed meadow
Slowly disperse into an ethereal wind
Their ears
Floating like sails
The fox arrives
Knowing
That he would always be to late
For this strange feast
No jug of hare
He would return to his earth
With a rabbit
To den dine ...

Cups And Beasts At The Same Time Gave Me A Head Injury
Both china in pens and
bulls in aisle ten
strive to
beguile or blend,
rile,
phone friends
Glass,
Hooves
violent friends,
the heck I'm on about?
What am I doing lately,
stab, berate me,
shake me, hate me,
bake me,
turn me into cake,
pee
on my arms and face
lace me,
waste me
shoot my heart to space,
I dunno
I don't know
bulls in aisle ten
strive to
beguile or blend,
rile,
phone friends
Glass,
Hooves
violent friends,
the heck I'm on about?
What am I doing lately,
stab, berate me,
shake me, hate me,

turn me into cake,

shoot my heart to space,

Everything I know about love
my cat is an asshole
most mornings
he wails a death wish
in my sleeping ear
is possessed by Shakespeare
as he rolls onto his back
feet in the air
as if life is an absolute tragedy
makes me carry him
upstairs every night
abandoning me at the top step
then wails that I dare let him go
my cat is an asshole
sits on the edge of the bath
falls in where fur finds bubbles
in fury and chaos
& I towel him down as...

Someday I'd like to be a squirrel
I'd live up in a tree
Being happy, being free
Avoiding cars driving by
Crushed squirrel's, makes me cry
Would you be my squirrelly girl?
Life would be complete, within my world
I'd throw my nuts at you
Bury them, or bite & chew
When we fall in love
You can pick the day
Peace & happiness for us
Happier that way
When I work in the morning I whistle
A favorite food of mine is milk thistle
Life now is perfect, complete
Must avoid crossing the street
Being happy, being free
Avoiding cars driving by
Crushed squirrel's, makes me cry
Would you be my squirrelly girl?
Life would be complete, within my world
I'd throw my nuts at you
Bury them, or bite & chew
When we fall in love
You can pick the day
Peace & happiness for us
Happier that way
When I work in the morning I whistle
A favorite food of mine is milk thistle
Life now is perfect, complete
Must avoid crossing the street

His name was Earl
Earl was a handsome, cultured young man who liked being outdoors
His interests were rock climbing, hiking & acting
When he wasn't outdoors he kept a colossal, very detailed diary
Earl eventually went into the motion picture industry
With his sudden wealth, be bought a chic house on endless grounds
He began to raise lions, two to be exact
One Male & One Female
Soon he was being mobbed by people in the street for his autograph
One day at the studio he became tense & edgy
With the suggestion from his agent, Earl fled to Africa, where he...

E-I-E-I-O
My wife began singing yesterday morning
within one hour, all of our livestock perished
she's tone deaf and damn proud of it
within the hour a cow, a pig & horse from out of nowhere came to our front door
there were all standing on their hind legs
the cow had a crowbar
the horse had a sickle
the pig had a gun
they confronted me and asked to see my wife
i said there she is
she was still singing
they placed earplugs into their ears
then headphones over their ears
they confronted her and began slicing her to bits
the pig...

The Dusty Trail Round My Bend
A shame, tis that crushed gravel path
that's seldom footstep riddled,
where bicycle tires perspire tamed tread so little
A path where timid animal tracks
are spread thin,
a vapid vastness cast between flocks
atop
ground that sees only squirrels indifferent
and confused ants entranced
by stone hill queens
on that life lean walk, crushing
I'm shocked,
for a spot
with so few dropping leaves
and so few blades of grass for frost to freeze,...

Rest In Peace, Hazel - Part IV
You died half a year ago tonight and I had to say goodbye.
It was six months ago when I watched you die.
It's never easy when a man loses a dog as special as you.
If somebody says that you were awesome, it will be true.
You were in the living room with me when I watched you take your final breath.
When I had to watch you die, it was extremely painful to have to face your death.
You had chocolate brown fur and you're a dog who I'll never forget.
You died on a Saturday night and when you died, I lost a great pet.
It was six months ago when I watched you die.
It's never easy when a man loses a dog as special as you.
If somebody says that you were awesome, it will be true.
You were in the living room with me when I watched you take your final breath.
When I had to watch you die, it was extremely painful to have to face your death.
You had chocolate brown fur and you're a dog who I'll never forget.
You died on a Saturday night and when you died, I lost a great pet.

A Skeleton Hanging In A Pig Pen
I once had vivid flesh,
muscles, ligaments and pigment
that tied me to earth's beasts
Now I swing upon a hook
in a sullied, smelly pig pen
Where pigs do all they can
to avoid big men of harvest
And I wish upon a star
I still had eyelids
muscles, ligaments and pigment
that tied me to earth's beasts
Now I swing upon a hook
in a sullied, smelly pig pen
Where pigs do all they can
to avoid big men of harvest
And I wish upon a star
I still had eyelids

Breath of Life
We share the same breath of life with beasts.
We are formed from the same clay.
In the primal dance of our naked flesh,
The essence of our being is revealed.
To love, to touch, to feel with unshackled heart,
Is to embrace the stark, unvarnished truth
Of our existence. Let us exult in passion's fire
While youth's fervor still burns bright,
For in these wild moments of abandon,
We are most in tune with the earth's eternal rhythm.
We are formed from the same clay.
In the primal dance of our naked flesh,
The essence of our being is revealed.
To love, to touch, to feel with unshackled heart,
Is to embrace the stark, unvarnished truth
Of our existence. Let us exult in passion's fire
While youth's fervor still burns bright,
For in these wild moments of abandon,
We are most in tune with the earth's eternal rhythm.
