money, work, grub, licentious old men; memories of women, sheets, lackluster begrudging secrets

a whirlpool in the cess; smoke rings and nausea, confusion, disparate nonsense and regrettingly blackened lungs, autotoxic aids (those were the days)

Still on the tipping point; the thrill of tripping still

embroiled on ticking platters; a time for closed doors and swept floors

thinking ill of the same matters; I posed as a man of toil and will

I would give a welcome; live on my income if I could

but manage from what I come by; stuck on a shirt with stripes

reserved for me and my likes; ( Read more... )

words sully spaces between jarring minute adjustments of posture

all desperate measures to eradicate masticate

Fortuna has spit such a sarcastic tort at me

"so sue me" she says when I stammer a protest

"why do you hate me so?" I plead

she gives me the finger and rips Cupid's head clean off his shoulders

"you're just out of luck, pal"

Pharisee, one set aside for devotion

to be cast out by the hapsburger

jews and gypsies; the cousins in France; a cycle of rejection unto Ellis Island, from tanners to doctors, from mezuzah to walkie-talkie; to the streets of bohemian Fransisco

from thorax to perineum; chest to taint

a constant reminder of what I am without

behind even my eyelids

deep in the mires of denial

ran out of

smears, stains, tears, soiled napkins

only recourse is mesmerization

purposeful misunderstanding

willful deceit

opening my angry red eye, donning once again the jovial mask

feigning stardom

rock'n'roll convictions

martyrdom and messianic arrival

settle for the relative ignomy of the Pen

accept Werther in our hearts

and laugh merrily at the tragicomedy of adulthood calf love

Light- fleet- heavy- footed hearted, red paling to pink, spinning around her green heart, flashing and changing in me, the Pleiades are raining from the heaven, shy Maia mother by the hearth

Does she mourn me, here on the Iron Field, warring with her Son, the Boundless Runner

Does she cry for my anger at her offspring, cutting his wit, stealing his ( Read more... )
