Penny Ante

No longer will a penny
For your thoughts make any sense,
Since there will not be any
Pennies left to thus dispense.

A penny saved, a penny earned – 
Advice that represents
Frugality cannot be learned
Without the evidence.

From heaven, pennies won’t rain down
And that’s a consequence
Of a would-be king who lacks a crown
But rules at our expense.

Primo Et Ante

First,
you need to have
something to say

Before,
figuring out
—how to say it

Ante Bellum

In this rainy coldness of a night
I am drained and dry like a hanging Bacalao.
I hope it comes to pass!
As cant as I am - broken as a rib
As grey as ash is - as dim as an ar$e
Take without hesitation this crib
Burry your fingers in it and pinch this salt
Sprinkle it over my eternal

Ante Up Urrrp

young people taught to believe
that once they learn repetition
they're ready for the out-world

s..t happens: just the universe

it matters not whether a god is
a peculiar determinism matters
of peace, love and of letting go

Ante Up For Love

Ante Up For Love

Love is a gamble, the players facing unfavourable odds. 
Still you risk that which you can't afford to lose. 
Never able to explain or recover the loss.
The cards have been shuffled 
and ready to be dealt. 
Are you in? Ante up!

Ante Sala De Agosto

Ante sala de Agosto

Julho 
está a findar - À gosto
Que pode mudar
O gosto de agosto.

Faça hoje 
que ainda tem tempo. 
O tempo
pede conta do tempo.
Não gaste o tempo em passatempo.

Dá-me a tua mão; 
Dê a tua mão: Acredite:
Mostre palavras
Fique atenta ao tempo: 
Faça agora
Um pouco a mais,
na vida e nos negócios o tempo,
MUDA O PRESENTE

Ante Bellum

“ANTE BELLUM”


BEIGEBest served where it can’t be seen
On Stirling Silver platters
With redruM narcotics
Delivered by sharp Blood-Red
Well-mannered talons
Strutting in sleek wet rolling tight-skirted
Long French Silk Stockinged legs all the way down to 
Lethal Six Inch stilettos -
Manolo Blahniks -
Shiny Pearls of cream glisten
Around the Chanel Milk White necks
dripping Manuka-honeyed smiles 
Ripping eyes out of the
bent-back sockets

Just Ante Meridiem

High noon coming    ...   sixty minutes to go    
Three angry riders,
twelve hooves on a swift approach
Six six-shooters strapped to the waist
of six angry eyes
Revenge on a five-year slow burn
today ends —  
Somebody’s gonna die
A tin star is gon fall from the sky
Just before noon,
the last stagecoach

Ante Meridian

ANTE MERIDIAN

I didn’t have my coffee 
I didn’t smoke my cigarette 
I don’t face him – I am too bitchy – 
so many words in the marriage
they come out like glazed ants
irrational “good morning”

I understand my womanhood 
in an amazonian way
an I placate my own voice
in the exertion of waking up

he dances a kiss on

Ante Up

Poker table blues.
Hand after hand, a looser.
Ace up dealer's sleeve.

Ante La Presencia

Nunca antes le daras cavida
Entre manos el oro se hace sal y agua
Mientras una luna de bendiciones
Amanece el ser de maldicion
Quemando los poros de nuestras virtudes
Sera el final en llamas?
Que sera de nuestra proxima generacion de ereditarios
Ante una presencia que restricciones y modelos de destruccion
No es mi forma de ver la agonizacion de mis hermanos
Solo

Penny Ante Poker

Penny Ante, happy hour
You could play and never go broke
Pennies have no buying power
Your financial risk is a joke

You could play and never go broke
Ante a penny into the pot
Your financial risk is a joke
Impossible to lose a lot

Ante a penny into the pot
Raise the bet a penny or two
Impossible to lose a lot
No matter
