"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..."
-John Bennett

what you/ve been doing
outside Klamath Falls and what
Todd Moore was doing outside
Albuquerque, not much
integrity married to the inside
dope of the poetic imagination
as far as my jaded view
has been concerned."
-Michael C. Ford

HALLOWEEN

the Lord's Prayer is recited backward

over a dead hummingbird wrapped

in embroidery thread of brilliant

colors as Americans suddenly rain

down from the sky in a final release

of energy before being buried

alive with their masters

The bright lights and
the go-go dancers
acted as a lure
for the lonely
sailor.

DESOLATION ANGEL

My stimulants are all
in agony wiped across
a cataract while hitch-
hiking this desert
postal card inside a
mailbox at noon.

WALKWAY

there are secrets

The Music

if you were drinking
in that ambulance
of despair on a
rainy night in
Georgia

wearing Conway
Twitty's shoes

it wouldn't mean
any less than

if she had
squatted on
your face
when you weren't
looking

and you
couldn't hear
the music

at all

Other presidents

HIKING THE AFGHAN BACKCOUNTRY

while a guide book is not a substitute for

Spawn Caddy
Blow Up All Cars)

regenerating and lactating
Pandora's box from the Holy Grail?


Across the Bamiyan Valley.



"those goat fuckers have our oil"

perfect handling, suicide, all green lights
This route can be hazardous until late summer

Never Get Hungry
Riot Mode
Spawn Dozer)

including nearby showers, laundry, restaurant, tap
room, grocery store, etc.

Infinite Ammo, No Reload....
Piss On Them And Their Mothers....



Field Notes: Not officially maintained, easy hike.
Opium and oil. Great Buddha dawn. Everyone is armed.
Stopped at abandoned patrol cabin where a huge dead
tree stands. Fucked its last remaining occupant in his
greasy ass, then made him suck the shit and cum off
our pricks. Capped the asshole. If you plan to camp
in this area, the vicinity of the patrol cabin makes
ideal spot.



Yet all too many Americans have neglected this vital
part of their education.

What point would there be in going if he had all
the answers?

For some it might be frightening, especially at night.

DANCING WITH THE STARS

exception to the broken rule
on any sidewalk
knock on any door
I didn't know you were drunk
until I seen you sober
the Virgin of Guadalupe
on your pay-for-view
motel box covered in
Burger King wrappers
you should have been
aborted on New Year's day
nobody on call but
the addicted janitor
asleep at the wheel
playing it for laughs
with time running out
it's another disaster for
the working poor
under neon light
a street with no name
is just another dead end
in this greatest country
