Long Blimps Poems

11. They came to devour and sin.
I was briefed by a cornucopia of beings:
From Torchwood, ARGUS, SHIELD and their kin;
The Talamasca, The Shop and MiB Greens;
A BPRD agent who was burning in Hell;
The Syndicate, Consortium,...

At first there was nothing in the very distant past,
Then bang! There was everything, a universe so vast;
All splendid and magnificent,  terrifying and mundane.
But before we knew all this, before we could explain,

On My Eighty Fifth Birthday

Another Birthday…I’m still alive
Never thought that I’d survive
To the ripe old age of Eighty Five!

Even though I’m over the hill!
Don’t count me out...Don’t ring that bell

World War I gave us the fly-boys
Who flew by the seat of their pants.
Many would never return from war
While others survived by chance.

Gasoline, bullets, bombs and poison gas.
Every pilot...

There’s a global inflation problem
everywhere lungs are puffed up
heads are swollen.

Cream puffs, pies, and chocolate brownies
Should surely be banned from the planet
They have no real value, no redeeming factor
We stuff our faces like gannets

Moms always says, “Johnie's got a sweet tooth”
So when he chows down...

I struck the raw edges
Jagged scraps
my shards

thunders like waves of anger

on your shore breeze sighed

to ride the wind
sunrises past my dismay

odious side of dark
souvenirs blazing
fade in 

skyline silken sun song

orthopter wings
&
draw dusk aches
with burning...

BREATHE DEEP
Hugging the earth
With you since birth
Though invisible
Much is possible

Fun times in party balloons
Less often in hot air balloons
Kites built and challenged to fly
Planes and blimps enjoy the sky

They share an apartment with a chipmunk,
and a long amber centipede
that sometimes...
