The Paste Eater’s Grave
I.
In Goldfield, Nevada
there stands a stone-
unknown man
died eating library paste
July 14, 1908
The postmortem examination
revealed he was starved to death—
would have found the mixture sweet:
flour, water, 60% aluminum;
but, an entire jar a deadly treat
The only thing to his name
was a letter addressed to Ross ...

THIS CREATION WE ARE (reflection of a pessimistic optimismist; undated)
we strive and strain
to know
and say so much
such pains
we take
to show or prove
we are something
special
we have done
this
we have done
that
we own
this
we own
that
we know
this
and that
we are
this
and that
most of us
think
feel and believe
we are all
so self important
so unique so big
and there are
so fucking
many of us
so many intermingling
little galaxies
within ever fractaling
galaxies
of self blinded ...
to know
and say so much
such pains
we take
to show or prove
we are something
special
we have done
this

Unmarked Grave : Still Alive
Last flickers of a dying flame still burn
I strain to see every bitter remembrance
lain before my feet
pain stained mendacious propaganda
blackened and singed upon my soul
words have risen and taken toll
right or not, secrets have been sold
out of mind into the hands of masses
such asses, cutting out the tongues of old
forcible suppression unfurled
into self-made sterilization
white sheets billowing in the wind
masking an unpure infantile soiling of...
