"To tell you the truth, I'm pretty burned out
on meat poetry or street poetry or poetry of
the down-and-out, whatever you want to call
it, because so much of it is bullshit; either bogus
motherfuckers who never shed blood but
insinuate themselves into the lives of those
who have and then make a name for themselves
by writing generic imitations, or a bunch of
middle-class kids still living at home talking
tough, aping Bukowski, Wantling, levy, Micheline...
but HAPPY HOUR is the real thing. Stark precision.
It's stripped down, bare bones authentic.
You be the real McCoy, amigo..."

This ought never to have happened.

I had to eat the entrails of my remark.

She rolled her eyes and gave me that look.

That was no news.

All of their good intentions were forgotten now.

His eyes scanned the cheap print.

I waited for a while.

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
A small cluster of curious bystanders hovered on the
sidewalk.

BLUE METAL FLAKE SMEAR

lowriders

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

Another Morning And No One Is Rioting In The Streets

shaking off the remnants
of a brokered dream
to get a visual of the lies

it takes waking up in
the greatest country

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.

Incantation

I love you I drug you these words you can keep
the names of the poets you can keep

this poem is identified with you

so that it becomes you

this poem may be marked with your name
to aid in the identification
of word addicts and
others unrestrained
for mine is the ecstasy of the vowels

the secret door which will always open
upon the syllables that are fast
becoming your face

don't you love me now

when the poem is inside you

Of Being Too Numerous

Singular, bewildered


Obsessed by the shipwreck

Of celebrity


We have yet to understand the

Meaning of being too numerous

"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.

DONE WITH WINDOWS

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

Drinker's Tear

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.

LIFE ON EARTH

simpler and more
dangerous than
god

muted and mutating
a wisp
of

what you are
is not saving life
on earth

because people are
afraid to die

the permanent
mystery is
consciousness

how you say
my lips on your back, digraph

spoken

wordy discourse."




so my hand in your cavity
no precise antonym, There is no antonym

who you talking me?




voices the voices is there one of the words which implies annoyance on the part of the speaker


waiting to hear
and can't

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

"You'll always go to sleep more times than you'll awake" -Larry Eigner

fading fast now red sails in the
sunset
lifting old faces from the floor

lifting sleep from mattresses
covered in patches of DNA
I

want an explanation
I

want a refund

take me home take me to your
leader

and to be blunt
