Cultural Events

Art Gallery. Museum. Parks. Zoo. Cultural Events. Glazed like raku pottery In charcoal rainbows warbled all dark On pidgeon necks Like hell’s angels, dumbed, Blowing smoke through your mind In a haze of dreams The city is made of a giant fractal wart On a witch’s cheeks there’s blush. Movies. Games. Bars. Clubs. Cultural Events. Maybe she’s singing a hymn With forked tongue The green fires burning gold and money Into the skies pitch red Flirting and skirting sale-priced Fashion iconography. Architecture Sophisticating the simple desires. You’re lost. Foreclosure. Lawsuit. Divorce. Cultural Events. Emblazoned with some valor Flags of the dead days Killed like a haiku short-lived Plopped one by one Your teeth fell. Bankruptcy. Fired. Laid off. Cultural Events. Brightly darkly the shiny sheens Of sweat they bubbled in blood red and iron In that champagne of success Guilt. Acne. Alcohol. Headache. Cultural Events. The feather dust flies and the smell of tar Rubber in your face We have drug solutions for your Unhappiness. Cancer. HIV. Vaccines. Death. Cultural Events. Beer gardens, beer babies, beer bellies, Beds, homes, and wined babes Pretty victims and voices they make Cultural Events. The city life careened my poetry Towards those Crazy wronged right fools Still swimming the street in search Furtive, arms afire just fighting Firing, fleeing into those chains. Claims. Refrains. Drowned Voices. Cultural Events.
