"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..."

has been concerned."
-Michael C. Ford

Lonesome

the white dwarf stars themselves
mirror an agonized pose that tells
of dinosaur death throes as delicate
as the image of a Paris car crash or
melancholia or romanticism on the
furious horizon which could trigger a
memory of the future itself breathing life
prior to the reenactment of fossilized time

in total surprise

the memories
of
present time

are cold dark
places
in your

for my vow of

drinking back then
and now I'm running
for president so
won't you please
help me I promise
the change won't
come until we're
given adequate food
and fuel equality of
the sexes and kiosks
for abundant fucking
in the streets and
that won't ever
happen so keep
your somber donations
I withdraw from
seeking the candidacy
now go get me a beer

VISIONS OF SUNSET

you are in the soft parade
with a short on the rims
up against the curb when
the Heublein bottles start
falling like rain out your
opened door at an officer's
feet who now wears the 13
colored St. Christophers on
a tarnished chain because
Pandora's Box has been
closed forever your Pendleton

playing Going Home for

And In Closing

I remember 1959 walking down Pier
Avenue in Hermosa Beach hand in
hand with my mother passing a coffee
house with this huge sign that said
The Insomniac on it in jagged letters
with abstract art on the sidewalk and
how mesmeric all these people sitting out
front were but then I can also remember
much later almost ten years just one
block up the same street I was there
in the Either/Or Bookstore and lost it
high on the poems that were all inside
these what are nowadays quite rare
and expensive small press collectibles
but at that time just publications I held
in my hands as the purest of light
