A Christmas Story
1
Slohump tucked her quarters up under the rail of the table, she wanted to play. Frank had already played and won four games, he was tired. "Nah, I'll pass," he told her. "Fuck you, white eyes, " she laughed. Frank waved her off with his right hand like you would a summer fly. Slohump must have weighed four to five hundred pounds, her face chiseled from plain meanness. I bet your damn crotch weighs at least a hundred pounds by itself, Frank thought as he sat back down next to Crazy Charlie at the bar. Charlie was talking to a drunken cowboy about some topic he knew absolutely nothing about. That was typical Crazy Charlie, he knew a lot about nothing. "Ain't that right, dawg," Charlie said, slapping Frank on the shoulder. "Shit, yeah," Frank answered, looking around the room. The place was packed, considering it was Christmas eve. He adjusted the four flat boxes that sat in front of him on the bar. Not any Indians though, except for Slohump and Charlie, he thought. Frank and Charlie had driven the fifty miles to town to sell these collector Indian plates that Frank had ordered through the mail from the Franklin Mint. It was a good scam, because you never had to send them any money. They just sent you the plates and billed you. They had both decided to sell the plates and buy something for Charlie's nine-year-old daughter for Christmas. "Fucking cowboys," Charlie told Frank, turning his back on the drunk. Just then, three young well dressed Indian dudes walked in and sat down at a table. Charlie nudged Frank. Frank slid the boxes over to Charlie. Charlie took a plate out of its box, one that had a colorful picture of a war party on it, put it on top of the other boxes and walked over to the table. All that Frank could hear over the loud juke box was Charlie saying, "Hey, dawg." Five minutes later, Charlie came back with four twenty dollar bills. Frank ordered another pitcher of beer and they sat there laughing at their good fortune. It was too bad that it was only 10:30 in the morning. By the time 3:00 in the afternoon rolled around, they were pretty drunk. After buying drinks for all the fools around the bar for the last four hours, all they had in front of them for change was $9.00, and they would need that for gas. They sat there listening to Freddy King sing Christmas Tears on the juke. After awhile Frank said, "Fuck it, let's go to the Salvation Army... it's still early, they got toys." Crazy Charlie nodded as he leaned into Frank. "And merry Christmas to all!" he slurred. They got up, blew kisses to the drunks in the bar, and left out the side door to the parking lot. Frank's old Chevy station wagon sat there like a dinosaur next to all those new pickup trucks. They got in and Frank carefully drove the fifteen minutes it took to get to the Sally. They could see there was a light on in the back. Frank parked the wagon and they half stumbled up to the front door and knocked. A small grey shadow appeared and became larger as it approached the glass door. The shadow was now wearing a uniform and had grey hair. The door opened and an old man said, "I am the Commander, may I help you?" Frank and Charlie looked at each other. "He needs some toys for his daughter for Christmas," Frank finally said. He didn't seem to remember speaking. "Come with me," the Commander said. He took them down a hallway that opened into a large room. "This is all we have left... grab some of those plastic bags and take what you need," The Commander then went and stood against a wall watching them. The room was filled with cardboard boxes full of Barbie Dolls, all in clear plastic packaging. Frank and Charlie smiled at each other and began to fill trash bags with Barbie Dolls. When they thought they had enough, they stood up and looked at the Commander. "All right then," the Commander said, and he walked out of the room into the hallway. Frank and Charlie followed, carrying the trash bags full of dolls as the Commander then escorted them to the front door. "You boys have a good Christmas now," the Commander said, locking the glass door behind them. "Thanks dawg!" Charlie yelled through the glass. The uniform then turned into a small grey shadow once again.

In the morning, Frank slowly opened his eyes and began to realize that he was in his house. He opened his mouth to yawn, and his breath turned into a small white ghost. No fire in the stove. He began to piece things together. It was snowing. He had dropped Crazy Charlie off somewhere. Tiny asses, legs... no... tits, arms... fuck, the dolls! At least parts of it were coming back. He got up out of bed and noticed that he was still dressed. It was freezing. He went to get a glass of water. It was eleven a.m. and he was flat hungover. He looked out the window and saw the Chevy out front. That was a very good sign. He then remembered it was Christmas day, and that he was invited over to these Indian's house for a party and dinner. Fuck making a fire. At least they'd have some beer. He locked the front door and went to go warm up the wagon. He opened the door and got in, and saw all these Barbie Dolls all over the front seat, some with their arms and legs torn off. The floor was covered in plastic packaging. He didn't notice any beer anywhere. It'd be frozen anyway, he thought. He pushed the dolls, legs, and arms onto the floor, and tried to start the Chevy. On the third try she fired right up. It didn't take him long to drive the ten miles to Beatty, even though the road was solid ice. When he got to Trina's big green house, something didn't seem quite right. There were only three cars in the yard, and nobody was pissing off of the porch. He parked, walked up to the front door, and knocked. Trina opened the door and let him in. Her old man and a couple of other people were sitting around the kitchen table, drinking. Frank sat down and Trina got him a beer. "What the fuck's up?" Frank finally asked. They were all so solemn. "Kevin blew his brains out with the 12 gauge early this morning in the back bedroom," Trina explained. "Fuck...," was all Frank could say, his hangover giving him a feeling of floating. Kevin was Trina's pretty teenaged daughter's white boyfriend from California. "The cops took the body out of here a couple of hours ago, come on," Trina lead Frank to the back bedroom. Through the open door, Frank could see Trina's sister and a couple other women scrubbing the brain matter off of the walls with toothbrushes. "Fuck...," Frank said again. He went back to go sit at the kitchen table and drink beer. Trina's old man and another guy named Eyeballs were now playing dominoes. Frank had always hated Christmas. He sipped on his beer.
Slohump tucked her quarters up under the rail of the table, she wanted to play. Frank had already played and won four games, he was tired. "Nah, I'll pass," he told her.

who's as dull as her Goodwill panties

fire and jump on Jesus if you ever
got the chance to see him I mean a
final wish situation like calling talk
radio on a flophouse hallway phone
and ultimately not having nothing to say
no idea where you're going with it next
as you stare dumbfounded at the wall
where someone has scribbled

Some Notes On The Filming Of BUG DEATH
everything changed on television a mandate
wiped clean with the perfumed wrists of
the first date so traditional like a gun
cleaning kit in the glove box far from
being romantic the rape sequence was
filmed in black and white on an
immaculate beach of a private island
owned by a hip-hop artist with some
cornball name and questionable pull
with minor gangsters back in the
garment district in NYC well of course
I was taken aback as a moth would be
in an abandoned rooming house mirror
on St. Valentine's day I mean that is
quite a palate cleanser let me tell
you and when she stared wide-eyed
as I penetrated myself with the
vibrator I thought she would forget her
lines altogether I mean it was more
than an attachment to some poet it was
acting for god's sake and she held it
together oh and I remember that Mexican
grip asking me 'todo?' but he never called
back it's not easy remaking a classic you
know that's why I shunned the party circuit
back then it's like handwriting you've never
seen in a guest book you won't remember

one cannot live without love
on the day of those dead
when the sentences snap
like the cheap beads on
your most beautiful of
necks don't break my
glass only fill it my dear
let's lose it all in our love
even if it's only two fat
bellies covered in sweat
we're fucking on the moon
when you close your eyes
we'll float like the matador
there is nothing holding
us here any longer and
when you come please call
me by somebody else's
name anybody's so that
way I don't have to answer
you when I do get up to leave
on the day of those dead
when the sentences snap
like the cheap beads on
your most beautiful of
necks don't break my
glass only fill it my dear
let's lose it all in our love
even if it's only two fat

Black Water
Old grey vehicles grey sky lost grey skates at Bullhead Lake smoky ghosts of breath from my uncle's grey face. Of course this is memory and memory is a random diagnosis. My cousin hit the guard rail above the canal riding it on two wheels before tipping over into iced black water. Watching the divers searching for his milk van on a grey tv screen. Top stories. His corpse now as frozen as this turkey was just three days ago. Uncle guides the blade through the fibrous white meat. Independent pathologist. Grey deep memories of smoky ghosts. The whiskey is in the trunk. Ever notice grey Chicago in winter drinking Old Style randomly into iced black water pull over and get me some whiskey? Out hunting in the early grey dawn. Pushes me off the sled. Spread his cheeks and showed me his butthole. Snowing in the grey frozen photos in iced black water. Olives rolling off of the table. Crushing the silver ornaments into a grey rug. Bloodied dead pheasants in a pool of water on the wooden floor next to some black rubber galoshes. Old grey voices in the other room around deep memories around lost holiday tables. Summer forts are covered in snow now... The next year on a warm bright day a boy finds an old pair of rusty ice-skates near the lake.

MY LIFE IN AMERICA
It's an ordinary day,
and then, out of the blue, from a friend, coworker,
e-mail or CNN, you hear the news: Somebody
famous died.
How could it have happened? What went wrong?
He had so much to live for. She seemed so young.

This is the sentence the ferris wheel spins with the severed arms on the 11th hour on the 11th
day your mask is grainy and torn all greys except for the aching red detail of that frozen smile
an untold story inside those testicles of steel now just dust on children's faces redoubtable as the
carnival leaves the clearing by the river of rolling heads yet inside this dirty frame in some dark
corner of an antique store you are still dancing.

POEM ON THE EVE OF MY 57th BIRTHDAY
the more I drink the more I drink
alone with my dripping memories
I used to fuck you ass in the air
when my cock came back out
your cunt lips looked like a pink
sleeve and that's not the half
of it I cryed for all you bitches
for all you brothers gone and
erased no chance to say goodbye
one handful of pills never said
goodbye and I know you would
have you lowrider you cowboy
you redneck operator you Indian
girl my baby hair spread on
asphalt sticky with blood right
is right and wrong is wrong
hold your mud all erased all
erased as I sit here still
breathing I wonder what
the poor people are
doing
alone with my dripping memories
I used to fuck you ass in the air
when my cock came back out
your cunt lips looked like a pink
sleeve and that's not the half
of it I cryed for all you bitches
for all you brothers gone and
erased no chance to say goodbye

The Game
He ran out into the arena and knelt down on the sand with the cape swirled out in front of him. I told him, yes, I was pushing junk, and he bought ten caps. Even in Egypt he refused to appear in public without this superfluous outer garment, and, though the African sun had turned the threadbare cape almost as yellow as the desert sands, he was not to be separated from it until he had picked up another in some charitable institution of the city. The light illumined and horribly distorted his face, so that his eyes looked like coals of fire and his mouth stretched joylessly back upon the gums. There were hundreds like him, beachcombers, castaways, drunks and gentlemen, gentlemen drunks who never go back-old-timers, landlopers, birds of passage, bums and remittance men, sons of parsons, dodging the police, peddling drugs on the waterfronts-lazy fellers boozing in the sun. Together we skirted the ragged confines of the festival in the half-darkness of the hot night, and at last the Magzub came to a long broken wall of earth-bricks which had once demarcated gardens now abandoned and houses now derelict. "Good, good. Come on in. I've seen you driving your car. You must have an interesting job." Ventriloquism. His hand was now golden in dashboard light, reaching for a pint of Old Crow, amber as pine pitch. The sun came up slowly over the bare mountain ridges. The country was flat and desertlike. There was not a tree as far as we could see. It looked like west Texas. I was prepared to sit politely while he skidded us off the highway and we rolled and smacked at seventy miles an hour through the cactus and desert clay. "Lock the windows," he said, engrossed in pressing the button which raised the canvas top. His kit dropped onto the Chevy's floor, spider wise his lisp lost twice now his hand touching the mannikin's thigh, "I love the human race." I felt a kind of diffidence in him, as though he had done wrong, though unwittingly, and were ashamed. "I'll be back by suppertime." It is nightfall in the small town and the air cools a little as you sit in the back seat of the Chevy with its dusty stink of upholstery that scratches your bare legs: when one takes a hand one must play the game....

I want my glassine wrists pumping
with what used to be the blood of
insects back when this was a country
of human beings as I blow through the
conch of the trickster's skull the neurons
that sprang from a finite dust containing
the faces of those who mimed before us

LOVE POEM FOR GREG EVASON
dead man walking
alive man walking
Christopher Walken
in the mood for a shape
shifting sunburn
on all of your different
faces
because these who we
write the words down
for as front runners
ain't that interested
and that is hunky-
dory with me
my full blessings
without any hatred
in the palms of our
hands
where the sun don't
shine
it's on your shoulders
but not really
sometimes you eat
the pussy and
sometimes the
pussy eats you
alive man walking

she lay passed out on the hood of the
63' Continental
nobody knowing she was really
that bored
first joints reds and Seagrams
Sunset Boulevard
with her scent on my
hands
with the night on her hands
not one hip sentence yet to come
ribbon the
houses empty of a living thing
but who really gave a fuck
those vintage Sky Saxon skies
filled up real quick with letters
then flames

ALREADY DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
miss thing dampered
as illusion my kisses on
your corpse my little
one mundane
you
you in my night
the worst part
because I did'nt say
that I am best
when the
needle does the
talking
shot up a 20 sack of
minutes and
came in my pants that's
two more years inside
you think I still walk
talk
I
spin the
broken globes

your corpse my little

Another Morning And No One Is Rioting In The Streets

The woman thought it was a neighbor and opened the door.
Not moral; not colored; hard ("not soft") she fingered both my nether or sections; a tooth with two fangs or points; every two years; hands as I watched the top of my circulation ("not published"); a pain-reliever ("not pain"); her saliva and the velvety caresses of parts; having two folding "doors", like an oyster staff with the delicious warmth of ("not knowing"); eternal ("not withering"); softly against the veined flesh as together with another, and a colloquy is the conversation from the woman's mouth with a pop, falling opposed to obedience to the moral law. Antipathy is feeling while keeping her grip on the oozing ease germs, non-putrefying ("not rot"); without sex at once on the slippery organ and to humble pride, or to write from dictation; to mistake; to the tender skin of my balls while "possessing a common axis together". Cognate, related, below. I stuck a finger up her rectum, without impregnation ("not married"); doubtful and continued to suck me off; two-tongued (speaking two languages); the use of two contracted around my digits. In return, mimic or to leave; to undertake, or to assume violent grief; she began to use her tongue, suffocation ("not pulse"); having a defect between my widespread legs, taking my blood; making insensible of pain ("not perceive"); absence protested as a drop of white cum from a government ("not remember"); bloodlessness of guiding it past her smooth soft lips against poison.

Tongue and nipple pulling Tobacco smoke enemas Insertion of hot pokers into various bodily orifices
"I just wanted to take her beauty away"
A blast of gunfire exploded. The slug caught the officer full in the belly
and the impact spun him to the ground.
PART 1: A high-fidelity recording machine blared forth the
gloomy strains of a woodwind melody.
Then he volunteered a statement which shocked most of the poets in
the room. "The bloated and morbidly obese will consume what is left
of your face."
But, hey, if they had masks on, you couldn't see
their beautiful faces.
These processes take time.

suppose your life meant nothing to your fellow citizens
the bloated and morbidly obese
as you wait behind them as the flames of time
consume what is left of your face
you will get your pain relievers
you will get your meds sniffing the flowers while medicated
and alone but there is a price
you must continually watch the images of those dressed
appropriately jumping out of the windows
you could never have even cleaned if you
wanted to what is there to see what is there to
say always looking through the glass of imagination
walking boulevards of the poems of undistinguished
pleasure I don't care about your family you don't care
about mine and I will hardly remember you

The sun will come out.
The temperature will rise.
There is no difference.
Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
Not all birds can fly.
The rose developed thorns for protection.
A body at rest tends to remain at rest.
All life arose from a single-celled ancestor.
There will be a storm.
It will be windy.

Midnight In Haditha
fading fast now in my bunk staring
at the ceiling
wiped clean and that ain't
dreams
I want my fucking country back
spliced with space and time
for you tonight
the world over always know your
target and what's
behind
it
my little good luck charm
kick in any door
that's easy for you to say
get down hands up and fully
cooperate I make mistakes all
the time the wet hair the blank eyes
call the number on your screen
my hero you're my hero
you're the one that I want
eliminating a threat engaging targets
full moon give us a call I want an
explanation
I lay eyes on someone with a weapon
a lot of good stuff the frosting on the
cake all the things that could go wrong
fade back into the shadows
in the distance muzzle flashes
now the eclipse
at the ceiling
wiped clean and that ain't
dreams
I want my fucking country back

want a refund
take me home take me to your
leader

Imaginary Blackout With Claude Monet
for Bryan Mickle
to speak in light of light like the wine spilled on
the chromatic tracks of Stockon's suicidal
outskirts
or harmonicas of wind and your need to piss
out the boxcar door onto Merle
Haggard's half-masted shadow
what you always said 'bury your wine'
before hitting that main stem
never nothing about what brush
I should use on her face to restore the codeine
in her eyes that killed the pain for the
very first time
Claude we're getting old as we wait for
this next train of colors
ashamed of our own signatures
I had that dream again man the one I had
back in Philly were I stood there with
all those postcards in my arms
with all your paintings on them only I wasn't
staring at that heat shimmered highway
it was your gravestone that was shimmering
and for the very first time I felt lost like you
were'nt my road dawg no more like someone
captured you in a book
but then I read the inscription and it was all
right they got it fucking right so perfect
and I woke up feeling righteous brother
ONE THING ABOUT IT
I AIN'T GOT NO
WARRANTS

of cancer tips from a reputable Morning Show
on the other.
Also on the street, unwitting contributors to the loss of everyone's basic rights
one gnarled arthritic hand
then adds matter-of-factly,
"Most times, I don't care whether I do or don't."
It is when we go to the scholarly mind that we find even greater confusion
broken needles falling like what remains
of the greatest country
the gnarled hands
of the gutless
who let it
happen lips puking lies as thin as the relics of a rather thrilling past.
Lethargy, disinterest and general apathy ( again you liar you have cancer in this greatest country medicated and alone

as outlined above
he carries this failure home where his family life
is undergoing a parallel deterioration.

PRESCRIPTIVE
cell phones ringing
in the pockets
of the dead or our expanding universe still so young
if it were far far older light from
all the galaxies would indeed flood us
with radiation rendering life impossible
but for now night skys remain dark yet menstruation is what
enabled women to develop a sense of time and forethought
language evolved because men and women
had to negotiate sex now as the first lethal robots head
for Iraq the role of the robot
soldier as a killing machine has
barely been debated but the synclavier is now outmoded
thus Zappa's machine music
the acme of his composing career
will rarely ever again
be played as he wrote it knowing it doesn't get much better
than having a thick cock stretch
the walls of your tight pussy
like it's the very first time
then you were seen in a video aired days afterward
held with a gun to your head but there has been
no word on your fate for example that music
is an evolutionary adaption
something that men developed
as a way to demonstrate
reproductive fitness so the moon smells
like exploded
fireworks
