this whiskey smeared newborn sky
blankets a road to nowhere as the
stubborn sun gradually becomes
more hot and swollen overhead like
Spade Cooley's fiddle-playing hands
after beating his pretty wife to death

Sex And The City
obsidian looks like
a grey brain before
it breaks open but
then LeRoi Jones
becomes a white
name you can't
pronounce because
you've never jumped
into the green river
of crusted saxophones
that smell like camphor
and butthole as the
phonic hooker pulls out
this one long finger
you'll be begging to sniff
when she writes you a
poem with her cum

FAKE VIAGRA
I burned my copy of
The Santa Cruz Mountain Poems
while the Santa Cruz Mountains
were burning in my Aztec
flip-flops as a random act of kindness
or a silent blessing for the
traffic dripping like wax semen
because it will always get
worse if you're friendly
and donating your hair to someone
who has cancer and is on fire
in an incorrect automobile
listening to Tom Petty leaving
everything they have to smoky children
but that's just the way it is
when calling faces in clouds family

I WAS THERE TOO
the one and only time
I stepped foot in the
Chelsea Hotel this queen
at the desk started moaning
ooooo and aahhh and said don't
you want to come see the famous
Chelsea Hotel with these puckered lips
as I walked back out into 23rd Street
where some asshole with a cardboard
box was playing three-card Monte
and wanted me to find the lady
but I kept on walking

A Diamond Made Out Of The Alphabet
those old-time lowrider
chicks would say that
just a little dot of ink
under the skin would
get you into heaven so
I got me a diamond made
out of the alphabet with
the words Word Man
going across through the
middle in red but that was
over twenty years ago and
it looks old like my father's
tattoos used to look when
I was a kid and I suppose
his ink got him in although
you wouldn't really consider
him a candidate no matter
what he did and he really
wouldn't give a fuck anyway
but he would appreciate
it just like if you handed
him another cold beer

tattoo of sad face
scared face after diagnosis...
woke up one morning
feeling sad. He didn't
know why...
blood test markers indicate
cancer...
scared face of a girl...

Red Dawn still rules
my face...
smiley doesn't wanna
smile anymore,
animated crying face...
blood culture in cancer
patients.
happy valley...
sad tearing happy face
deflated white balloon with a
sad face on a black background...
sad crying blood eyes
crying sad smiley face
sad face gets his lights
punched out,
pictures of cancer face...
earth globe sad face...
so it is the disease
Or death itself?

Into The Shallows
the first of each month
was called Mother's Day
because all the women
would get their welfare
checks and us slackers
would enjoy the spoils
just for the dick service
or a few lies but when
the money was gone the
food stamps would come
and the bitches would
use them to buy cases
of soda pop to pour out
on the ground so they
could take all the cans
back for the deposit and
buy a few bottles of Mad
Dog to drink with us
under a grotesquely
happy sun before the
arguments got started

MOTHER'S DAY
like the old drunks would
say you crawled out the
pussy then you spend the
rest of your life trying to
crawl back in and that's
pretty right on except I
spent more time licking
the clit then actually
tonguing the hole although
I did that too with someone
else's kid crying down the
hall or in the living room
with the empty beer cans
and the haphazard plate
of dope and the stinking
diapers and the TV full
of blue Smurfs way more
eloquent than me when
I would try to beg the
bitch for forgiveness
