POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I experiment with and without form. I try to let the idea write itself.
three wishes about being a poet
I wish I could write a poem
beautiful as the clouds,
but how?
I wish I could write a poem
beautiful as the sea,
but me?

beautiful as the sky,

happy accidents
Oh my goodness!
I Love Life!
I'd explain why, but my particulars
are accidental to me,
and yours to you...
but oh my goodness!

These Words Instead
These words are instead
of the flowers I would have given
so those flowers
can keep living.

"Ethicals"
When people's actions are obvious and detestable
give them swift kicks to the ethicals.

The Downfall
This is the A&P, Mickey D's downfall of man
the chemical cow, transgendered mushroom,
germ warfare concord to oblivion.
This is a time of "Hit me baby one more time,"
"Slap me baby one more time,"
"Beat the shit out of me because I just don't fucking get it
one more time."
It is the cellophane wrapped- plastic bubble-
styrofoam peanut- overnight delivery-
we've gone to plaid-
ludicrous speed- faster and-
faster and-
faster
reason to slow down...
and chew...

where would he go?
I tell myself,
before going to sleep,
to show me
what I would believe
if I could always be
my super-ego.
My self tells me,
while I sleep,
that when I
lack direction I
should ask myself-
where would he go?

"Everything up until Truth"
Caramelloncholly cavity stings sharper than a k-9 hanging marcescent by a nervous rush from the elevator
action packed like sardines in a tin can you dig it?
Weekly world newsstand still and gawk at the eight-headed baby face cover photo exclusive leaving out
everyone day at a time flies when fifteen minutes is all you have to look forward too much of
a good thing will destroy the teeth that chew it into a pulp fiction section of new release me
from the catch as catch can you dig it?
No more suckling piggy playing lord of the flies-swatter in the...

body shake
You cannot fake
the way I am going to make
your body shake
and shiver-
my tongue and fingers
can deliver
all the pleasure
you can take.

En Routero
En routero,
on my way,
I am coming and I am going to stay,
so listen,
I turn like pistons
and flow like systems-
I scat
and chat
and mad-hat
about all the astronomical units
and mental-ogical movements-
the rays of light
that are parallel in flight
that meet at the end of possible sight
that point that might
be reachable
to the teachable
the learning increasable
expandable
rubberband-able
brain.
