Best 65 Poems

You don’t know this but
we’re all ISBN’s. At birth,
we’re tattooed across our asses
with barcodes, ID tags, social security numbers.
The only doctors allowed
to perform this surgical move
were trained in suits and sunglasses,
were handcuffed to computer suitcases,

held galas in mansions in the hills
of Virginia, roamed secretly through...

Hunt fresh virgin blood
This evening will be your fate
Captured by vampires

           ~

Death decide tonight
Lust and ravenous hunger
Fear of our graveyard

           ~

Drink blood like old wine
Surrender...

“You deserve a kiss!”
she said to me, over
the intercom and Muzak
“So buy our product”
Ah! This consumer society
of which I am a part!...

Hopefully you see me
Im here deceiving
If there is no turning back
As i become one
And all power evolves
Im here to destroy you

My beautiful prize
The one i've drown for
That one i gave blood for
The one i sold everything for
This is the rising sun

I know you hear me

God is due all our praise
for He's done many a great thing
the hearer of all our prayers
as all flesh to He will they bring

Such is the blessing on His elect
that the Lord will draw to His court
satisfaction it is for God's good
watered by His holiness...

An ordinary building
On a busy New York street
Has been christened Stonehenge 65,
To make it sound elite.

Though the buildings all have numbers,
Some are honored with a name
With the hope, perhaps, that moniker
Will bring it some acclaim.

But a Stonehenge in the city
Sounds pretentious, lame and dumb
And whoever...

It was at this point 11 o'clock 
At night. Damian Left Molly and 
Checked on the seven. Everybody 
Was fine. He returned to 
Business. Molly was no longer 
Afraid she knew she was in the 
Path of annihilation master of
Gratification, the complete 
Conversation. He began...

Summers meant harvests of berries and such,
chores to do before play.
Running barefoot in lawns that were lush,
the smell of fresh mown hay.

Hoeing the garden to keep down the weeds,
cooling off with the hose.
Bagging up the dried Marigold seeds,
finding Ladybugs in the Rose.

Swimming holes, Dead Mans...

COPLA 65 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World

Humans refuse humanity
Humans love nationality:
No better friend

“Platoon” lives’ anonymity
Rips masks off hypocrisy:
Souls inner fiend

You who made the World go around
Sharpened the sick souls’ will to kill:
In Your own name

Such killings as with hatred bound
More lives we produce in lustful...

My ’65 Rambler

in 1979
i learned to drive in a
1965 turquoise rambler

three on the tree
cracked, dusty leather
smelling like an old fisherman’s boot

the sun spotlighted that car
bouncing off of the irreverent turquoiseness
wherever I went
like a giant florescent highlighter
hanging above my head

most of the prayers in my life
were...
