Poem
written in memory of Jack Kerouac in a caffeine frenzy ...pipes /jugs /pipes /hallucinating te deum for blessed freaks and smoking stale, dry cigarette tobacco (wrong thing) in a pipe to honor, certainly not 'diss' an unknown friend/jug and pipes/friend wearing the neighbor wife's panties, having carnal knowledge of corroded gold bricks beside rain puddles under the bridge/gold /bricks /panties /kyrie, kyrie eleison/communication wrapped around his ears like yo-yo strings, and the sky isn't falling in, just moving to the thirteenth floor/send a messenger with a quasi- neo-biblical infomercial: God and the Devil are stuck in the same elevator on the fourteenth floor /fifteen /sixteen /seventeen and a half from slavery of the mind/kyrie, have mercy/and the jug is only half full, or is it half empty?/have mercy/day of the dog, cat digging for garbage in the dumpster behind the outhouse /kyrie/where he took off her panties/have mercy/kyrie eleison, kyrie, kyrie, and stuffed them in a pipe and began smoking dehydrated dreams that he found bubble-gummed to a three-dollar bill floating in from the ocean coughing it up on a beach of laundered clouds, and she asked for them back, full of holes/have mercy/eleison/and the messenger said, "Look, God, your zipper's stuck," and God said, "Where?" /jugs /day of dogs/day of cats /seahorses /snails/day of coyote digging for the jawbone of an ass under a tombstone that says, "Here lies a thought that is dead,"/day of repeat after me/repeat after me/kyrie, eleison, and, man! - that pipe really sounds good about now - just fill it with the right thing before the Devil gets his grubby hands on the sacred purse overflowing with condoms, and please, have respect for The Place Of Places where The Queen Of Hole-Riddled Panties will say, "Have mercy! - give me that pipe! - the jug's at least half empty - or is it half full? - and the elevator is running out of grease and maybe the Devil's stuck in God's zipper or perhaps Yahweh is spelunking in Jezebaalzebubba's vagina - who knows? - just give me that damn pipe!"/day of weed and have mercy on that rag doll - because here lies a thought that is, well, quite dead, and I can't think anymore /can't /can't /kyrie /jugs /pipes /goldbricks/and please, please have mercy, because I can't think anymore/can't anymore/anymore... anymore... ('kyrie eleison': Greek for 'Lord have mercy')
