Wooden

What did you want me to see, exactly?
Sitting across Outremoat with friends and family:
that you had everything?
While I sat cross, with friends bought
watching two wooden ducks filled with lead
that couldn’t float.

crows wants magpie
to fall into trap
same old story
different place
pull the strings
puppet moves

magpie must defeat crow
evil power

crow him lazy bones
him steal eggs
never looks for
grasshopper worm or nut

dog him kill crow
same mocking bird
shoot his eye out
and put the moon back
in the mirror

Ratty Old Slippers Massacre

In the garbage
they went last night:
two ratty ripped slippers
looking like old wagging
tongues n’ tales
told for too long.
This morning were revived
standing right next to the garbage
a pale site
the left one left
and the right one right
taken clean out from under
eggshells, dust, dirt, food, stuff…
Are my cats that smart?
Did I sleepwalk the part?
Did I miss those ratty old
tongue wagging slippers so?
No. So, what then? What?

God, no!

a classy act
follows fact
fear for function
kept secret by time.

why not?
i choose to lose
like leftovers
left outside
in the rain.

damp, a ramp
right next to the alley
along side the forgotten tally
telling whose yelling as dogs bark
but selling symptoms makes much more cents
unless you are really sick then take your ass to bed.

I sleep to keep myself sain,
sure it’s an escape stratgey,
but beware when smiles are clear,
happiness holds as life unfolds.

back to bed
rings my head
held so close
die my toast.

new girlfriend

i thought
i met her
while shopping
for austalian wine
at the flower rapist’s
but it turned out to be
a bad transmission
from a false transformer
the gorillas were passing
out rhoipinals at the
toilet sanctuary

so i stole the wine
rode to the beach
and burned all her poems

Old Girlfriend

I can always count on her
Sucker!
Shoot the shit raw and split
Pucker
Long, long, long ways away
Driving through sleat
Careening the streets
Leaving her bound
to her bland compunction
Waiting for the next round
of amorous action
Blind, is she?

Éclats

J’me suis fait crossé
Pis joué tout l’été
Tant qu’à
Engendrer un dé
Perdre une journée
Qu’est-ce que t’en pense, bébé?
Prends ta chance
Chante quand t’as pas de voix, tu dis?
C’est toujours à cause de toi
Que l’toit te tombe sur la tête
C’est pas à cause d’un chum
Qui t’attends dans l’ombre
Te fait à croire
Que ta sonde fonctionne
Comme du monde
Pis maintenant, fait accompli,
T’es comme le démon sans fond
La lumière écarlate
S’éclate dans ta face
Ton dos est troué
À cause des couteaux
Mal aiguisés
Moi, j’me dis,
Je ne suis qu’une muse
Usée
Pour ces jalouses obsédées
J’en suis une, aussi,
un jouet,
Oui, je’l’ sais…

quitting time.

i feel like a dog turd
duct taped to
a trash can lid today

[likeaghost]

right in time with wordless rhyme,
wait that’s fate first at last gate
guessing gross but one forty five
means more made live by a line, fine.

first i must address another development,
weight where is the clear cut winner
when the toast seems thinner worst
four wear while others gather gear, green.

great the late mate might matter,
most scatter so called ghost batter
up unless pinch hit for mere maddness
coast patterns weather storms shine, chaos.

thime twice as strong has come along,
allow twelve minutes until brown
around the edges enough looking over
hedges held back by winters attack, snow.

[likeaghost]

spring seems near
next snow clear
comedy against hope
hold fast remember last
year new fear fame
may seem lame like
strike so write or wrong
song sing bring bong
but do eye dare compare
close as tight underware
wise thought oft undersize
sure on tour told bold
be that it may return
remind all must be kind.

Fuck you
I’m free
And If you won’t
help me
Fuck you
I’m free

glass encloses
deep wound record
and non music to
hear just a good
show and 7 hr.s
is all i neeed to
shake and shower
this total dissapointment
that i won’t be able to
get shut eye tonight.

[kerbdogma]

sicker and colder
heartburn and no goetze
or peppermint.
Tony’s gonna have to listen
to Was again to get his
nite time domain
struggly stomache
struggly sweater with no
extra dark blue purple dark
lonely low which is is mine
waiting for more dino comfort

[kerbdogma]

on other word where is
my lite purple shirt. Might
want to save these for ebay
they take so long
in that where is my dinosaur jr clothes.

Invest in Sots incorporated
you’ll get your cyst officiated
4 shipping and handling gets you
one free peanut foam named jew

You can stick him in your yard
and unload bb’s on his name card
until his hard cotton arteries become
the spider webs of sneeze and blood
of, sum 41.
