Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

Where?
A Wolf, where?
A wolf, a wolf!!!
Rabbit doesn't run...
and Pedro doesn't run,
Pedro says silly things...
Wolf, where is The Wolf?

emotionally
from his
rejection
like a
glass
thrown
up against
a wall.

Today
Oh what drab, colorless roils drape the sky
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...

Mindless Weasels
mindless weasels
narcissistic hypocrites
like flying monkeys
pompous barrels of chests
preying on the bunnies...
no eggs, Easter Sunday

Dubbed Deciet
smiling
faces
scare me
their knives
are much more
sharper
when they talk
it's like a dubbed
kung fu movie
the sounds
don't match
the lip movement
everything is
a twisted
conversation
full of
silent
hazards
out
of my
league
in these
shark infested
waters
cold
ruthless
dead eyes
legal
murderers
of hope
faces
scare me
their knives
are much more
sharper
when they talk
it's like a dubbed
kung fu movie
the sounds
don't match
the lip movement
everything is
a twisted
conversation
full of
silent
hazards
out
of my
league
in these
shark infested
waters
cold
ruthless
dead eyes
legal
murderers

and quite simply put
whatever became of the body discovered in a suitcase, other than the fact he was welsh and had a role in the secrect service
there was dna discovered in
the bath, and yes some questions were asked in the house, but the case of course remained shut

From One Womb
Emanated from the very womb
Two fetuses
Entangled in webs of DNA
Yet one was born to be the victim
Suffering with a smile
Sucked dry from blood by the other
Two fetuses
Entangled in webs of DNA
Yet one was born to be the victim
Suffering with a smile
Sucked dry from blood by the other

still salty
I thought for the longest time
that I saw something in you
...I was wrong
you were as empty
as the Dead Sea
that I saw something in you
...I was wrong
you were as empty
as the Dead Sea
