Poet Introduction
Two of the cats i live with piss in my shoes. My wife either doesn't, or her piss smells like the second cat's.
< Drugs in a vacuum >
I'm a fictional character because I mention drugs. A lot
of fictional characters mention drugs. But not many mention
Western Auto vacuum cleaners. This one was a Wizard, most
of Western Auto's stuff was Wizards. Wizard mowers, Wizard
refrigerators, Wizard washers... Sears bought them in 1987.
I was staying with some friends of mine in a house they were
renting. I had just gotten out of the army. They were letting
me sleep in their living room until I got things together.

< breast shower >
font=Courier New][size=2]
it was really a joke
my request for breast pictures
but some smart-ass sent it around...
last night, and today, SO many
and the rate's increasing...
i see in this era of government-induced paranoia (vis-à-vis terrorism,
evolution, and everything reproductive), that a few people have taken
to heart the pronouncement: "all jokes taken seriously".
i was joking (didn't you see that happy face?).
i don't have any beads!!
still, i feel honor-bound not to seem like some kind of degenerate...

< all about you again >
it was winter
just a while ago
but now
it's spring
and spring
is all about you again
you and your face
seen turning
just a glimpse
a flash of eye
a blue
a green
a glint of sun
reflected
in your words
and breasts
and legs
and what you say
with
your
clear
smile and spring
is all about you again
and summer
is you
you and your hands
pulling the boat about
in sea
and clouds...

another informational announcement
from our government:
"new humane methods of execution"
this
picture of padded chairs
headrests curving up
heads
already strapped in
colored tubes
sewn to their mouths
which
(the article goes on to say)
makes it all quite painless

< You Doom My Heart >
Hack into my broken heart,
And rip it from my chest;
And steal away my silly soul,
And lay me out to rest.
I dream about you night and day,
And want you to be mine;
You watch me on my hardest day,
I watch you when you shine.
I watch each time I see you,
My heart it skips a beat;
And each time that you say my name,
I start to drop my seat.
...
And rip it from my chest;
And steal away my silly soul,

I watch each time I see you,

I start to drop my seat.

< what i saw on my psychedelic drug trip >
If you think green dogs
are interesting then maybe
you shouldn't read any further
as what i'm about to say might
influence you to try drugs that
make green dogs though it's not
that i want to influence you to
not try them either it's just
that i wanted to write this
without adding any more guilt
about feeling good or bad or
neither or wonder or whatever
but if green dogs really don't
interest you then it doesn't
matter that much so go ahead and
read the rest of this which has

< remedial measures for diseased poultry >
and even then you touch above my belly
run your self down there
(between)
...this spark of spring
whose gentle hammer plays our heads
and switches us to major chords
that bind our thoughts
to all this greening growth
you say me with your mouth
and mine with yours
and promises they die so splendidly
how slight our light breath moves
across these leaves
