Does Anybody Dream a Comedy
I'm wakin' up again from a bad nightmare
and I don't think I can fall back asleep
even though it's late, I know I'll be okay
but I'm tired of the same old, same old, tragedy
does anybody dream a comedy
or am I the only one who never has?
is it odd I've never heard a laugh
or a piano playin' Alley Cat
so I'm wonderin' if anybody dreams in comedies
unlike me
the road is dry and boring on this long haul out to west Texas
and I'm itchin' for a break to catch some zzz's
not because I'm tired, no, the situation's...

POLL: THE PRODUCTION LINE
PROMOTION
Speech much like inciting a rebelion
words full of sanctimonius wrath
a form of disguise, substituting motivation
— hear yeah, the wisdom of the righteous
candidates selling themselves off
as the champion of your interest
SALES
The exercise of free choice in democracy
is much like a market of monopoly
where choices are limitted edition only
— vote yeah, the brand of oligarchs
greedy crocodiles who gave away money
In public coffers they profitted greatly
AFTER-SALES ...

North South East West
misgivings on the direction
society is kited
during the wind-up
of their sleeping gaze
alarmed hermit
tosses torn blades
of a spinning rose into
a nor so easy we
maxed tense overshot
the trajectories
of an impact likely to prove
the accusations of history
You are not here to witness
gas following its nature
hot air ballooning past
sense of a backwards future
You told them I am a basket case
but I pilot a rage of wicker

This strange bouquet 1/30
This strange bouquet
of micro-
organisms, poisoning as glassed dandelion
seeds blown, people skirting to a ball wearing bal-
aclavas, canvases
across their mouths highlight the speaking
eyes, the clear palpable
distance
in the torque language is
fear
swallowing an air swarm
Oh, belle-
donnas, you are a
quaquaversal vein
through the micro-scope
of space

The Glue That Binds -The Solvent That Tears Us Apart
Love is the divine mystery that can't be reasoned with or figured out
It blossoms fully formed or grows over time slowly
It has it's own half-life and also lives forever
It pulls towards it's own ends and fills life fully
It fills cracks in us and breaks us apart
It comforts and kills
It soothes and regrets
It lives freely in us
It polarizes the very essence of all we are
Love is the drug
Love ... with or without
Love always finds a way
In time ...
Love ... .
It blossoms fully formed or grows over time slowly

It lives freely in us
It polarizes the very essence of all we are
Love is the drug
Love ... with or without
Love always finds a way
In time ...

Some Cure
I could, I could point
to all the sweet nothings
until you’re not the nerves
of that void that you can’t feel
beyond Fingertips Ct.
signs staked in the t-folds: “Dead End”
If I would, I could handle
your prophecy in test tubes
each bubbles newborn:
|Abstract||Pinch-able||Impossible|
and you’ll sit in all of the waiting rooms
twiddling for the pH balance of headlines

Sorry, Mr. Orwell
In our capitol
hunched tortoises
ancient and housing wrinkled
parchment constantly ironed
for viewing.
They hulk to state
the over-arcing
of democracy.
Columns like crazy.
High-ceilings.
Squat marble. Pawing dirt
as a bull-moose
before the charge.
Breath held. Blossoms.
Carved speech.
Sore feet. Wide spaces.
The needle towers.
Its eye as the eye
over the governed.
Should I not say?
Too late, it deigns
to confuse, the map,
before the future
deciphers....

Wake Up!
Time marches on, relentless, unstirred,
Unaware of events,
Events that might alter
The very essence of our shared realm.
The cosmic web shifts, threads anew,
Neither the present
Nor the future
Can claim certainty's helm.
A mist obscures our collective sight,
Save for a few who stand in the light.
Fed with spoonfuls of crafted tales,
Our minds shaped to fit their scales.
We wander through life's foggy veil,
Like somnambulists on a well-trodden trail.
Conditioned beings in an endless cycle,

Election Year. (Triolets for All the Tory and Republican Party Wankers.)
The rats are loose! The rats are out!
They're swarming every fucking where!
They're ugly twats, without a doubt!
The rats are loose, the rats are out
and each one has a snidey snout,
their whiskers twitch, their red eyes glare!
The rats are loose! The rats are out!
They're swarming every fucking where!
Get Pest Control! Call Rent-a-Kill
to come and put the bastards down!
Of fucking rats I've had my fill!
Get Pest Control! Call Rent-a-Kill,
those fucking rats make me feel ill

changing sides
it feels like the nineteen thirties, although countries have altered
their positions on the board and
the germans seem quite nice these days and the british and the americans, I’m not so sure, anymore, it’s like the roll of a dice
