...ide a blind man who can only
eat up the petals and count to ten.
The nurses skip rope around him and shiver
as his eyes wiggle like mercury and then
they dance from patient to patient to patient
throwing up little paper medicine cups and playing
catch with vials of dope as they wait for new accidents.
Bodies made of synthetics. Bodies swaddled like dolls
whom I visit and cajole and all they do is hum
like computers doing up our taxes, dollar by dollar.
Each body is in its bun...Read more of this...

Over The Parapet

...ith the dead when a star-shell, bursting,
 Flares on the horrors on every hand.

There are ruby stars and they drip and wiggle;
 And the grasses gleam in a light blood-red;
There are emerald stars, and their tails they wriggle,
 And ghastly they glare on the face of the dead.
But the worst of all are the stars of whiteness,
 That spill in a pool of pearly flame,
Pretty as gems in their silver brightness,
 And etching a man for a bullet's aim.

Yet oh, it's great to be here wi...Read more of this...

Please Master

...shove it in me a little, a little, a little,

...tly thing," he said.
"You'll see all right," said Deacon White, and held his cocktail high,
Till its ice-worm seemed to wiggle, and to wink a wicked eye.
Then Skipper Grey and Sheriff Black each lifted up a glass,
While through the tense and quiet crown a tremor seemed to pass.
"Drink, Stranger, drink," boomed Deacon White. "proclaim you're of the best,
A doughty Sourdough who has passed the Ice-worm Cocktail Test."
And at these words, with all eyes fixed on gaping Major Brow...Read more of this...

The Fallen Angels

...read month,
they suck the childhood out of the berries
and turn them sour and inedible.

Yet they keep me company.
They wiggle up life.
They pass out their magic
like Assorted Lifesavers.
They go with me to the dentist
and protect me form the drill.
At the same time,
they go to class with me
and lie to my students.

O fallen angel,
the companion within me,
whisper something holy
before you pinch me
into the grave....Read more of this...
