Dogmatic deconstructionists
declaim
the Dogs of Doggerel
during the
Dog Days of Delusion
Deluded destroyers
deliver
the Dogfights of Doggerel
during the
Dog Dances of Derision
Derisive decoys
denounce
the Doghouses of Doggerel
during the
Dog Dreams of Deception

Third Leaf: "Mavi" (Turkish for 'blue')
We love dreaming hallucinations
of ivory towers out of fear
of tumbling truly asleep into visions of
doghouses and nightmares of
Tinseltown-Princesses
falling in love with the dog in the backyard…
* * *
Alexander… they called him Great,
loved a beautiful soldier and a beautiful horse,
kissed one
and the riddle is: Did he kiss both?
which one first and with the most ardor?…
___
… pulsing…
… our blood thick
with us together
oceans of each other
in the salted mist,
rapt, I hear your thunder and hiss
am at sea in your siren call
beckoning my shores
cleansed of all else…
… our anchor rocked
in the umbilical rhythm
washing through us
ceasingly pulsing…
* * *
… my vision of you blinded me
when you came to live
in the irises of my eyes…
… the ultimate,
marriage of illumination and lustrous darkness…
… perfection of vision – blind, yet
still seeing irises…

I'm amazed, startled, and fed up,
With everything we see, to be
compared with football fields,
What about those like me...
who don't know a darn ol' thing,
'Bout "footballs" and their yards,
How many football fields,
Can dance on a pin-head?
How many footballs can you
equate to a foot...
Leaving how many more toes?
To cram inside your boot?
I've only seen one football game,
Or, really part, there-of,
In 1966, I think, I never learned to love,
This silly game, over territory
Seemingly useless, as far as I can see...
Show me who wants a lawn,
With big numbers, painted graffiti , what's the key?
I seem to be alone in this,
Mention it, and in my beer,
some will piss...
I mean, what's wrong?
They couldn't even get the ball
to be round,
Looks like someone sat on it,
Maybe an overweight hound...
Pig skin? Are they throwing
bacon strips around?
Now that I'd understand,
And would also fight for ground.
P.S.: How many Doghouses in a football field?
How many mite sites in a Dog house?
How many of those termites are terminal?
How could you possibly read this mind dribble?
