deeper and deeper
the hypnotist begins his act
pendulum sways.
his voice is slow and melodic
“you are getting sleepy”
the next thing I know I hear
“deeper and deeper”
someone takes my hand
leads me to the stage
I am told to skip around like a chicken
and bark like a dog, which I do without thought
this delights my students
I am so suggestable,
They come every year

A Public Message To All Decent Democrats
We want all Democrats to behave
As though they truly and genuinely believe
In a True Democracy
Stop at once the nasty hypocrisy.
Oh! Let the republicans behave
Like they belong in frumpy old cans
Of lies, insurrections, nightmares, hooligans
And right-wing fans who crave and rave.
We want good and credible elections
Not biased and absurd selections
We want Real Democracy.
We want Justice, Freedom

Said something to

Scud Babylon I
Cain Reversal II
The blood must be re-claimed from the soil
With the heavy bodies bent with lust and toil
Each rivening day strifing the rule of the garden
The mohammedans straking for some pardon
Not for themselves or all alone under banished sky
For all the abandoned who look forward to die
Nothing so simple as an unwanted blessing
A mercenary corp

Hoggish Hypnotism
Hideous hank hoisted
smoothened scrunched sculpted
tactic turn twisting
scared surges skipping
smithereens into span
contracted turbulent trance
vile vibed passion
inflected per punctures
birthed by seizures
damped draws drooping
growling gaunt gaiety
lanky lust lurching
ensconced eyes envisaged
weary lids wakes.

My Lost Opportunity
Have you ever been hypnotized?
I was always the one they led up to the stage from the audience.
I could be so easily hypnotized it was nuts.
Infatuated by it, I took some classes
Teaching me how to hypnotize others.
Dr. Hickman was teaching them.
She gave me a book.
Hypnotherapy by Dr. Irene Hickman.
I was not ready for this.
I
