Theater of Utter Charm - Part 29
the footing on the flanks of the Hill of Beans
was worse than he had sussed
that drizzling pale morning
when the Sun was lowest
but beans be damned
and their counters with them
yes I know
a smoky mess
like most of...

The Trials of Meretrix Canto Iii
Diminishing virtues stripped away
From the flesh
By the fierce brined rods that freely
Course thy hot crimson blood;
Dry cracked lips attempting to
Fashion broken words of compliance
That so must needs to be spoken...
But...Ohhh, Meretrix...
My foolish and...

Hole In the Side Pocket
A shiny penny fell to the ground,
and the face of Caesar
started spinning
ear candy propaganda around
Sparkling tales
of a former, dark ale kingdom
Oar barrel sales
that spread liquor violence
under a rising Western horizon
The little copper-voice image...

Hieroglyphics On the Tiber's River Walls
Walking along the Tiber's River walls,
one discovers hieroglyphics
depicting images of Romans
engaging in battles; they seem
mythical warriors so appealing.
As legend goes, Romulus
became the first roman king,
he founded Rome once
an insignificant rural village;
in the...

Flowers are sprung, but who notices
So…

No Dragons
It’s you by the stream
only you among the trees
nature in and around you
is a lovely thing
as you walk to the lodge
and your smile
is welcoming inviting.
A kiss on your neck
where you like
and I learn how the
combing...

Game of Clones
Another puppet government,
strings attached gone
Proxy power given to the corrupt —
a foreign gameplan
played wrong
The latest Queen gambit
was an Old World maneuver, with
a neo-Roman tale spin
Place scepter power in a dummy hand;
textbook Machiavellian,
marionette Afghan

The Caesars' Mad Rule
I
Truly how blessed are we not to bow to the barbaric chivalry
Of emperors and kings’ in raging insanity
Historical madness runs in the house of Caesars
Considered great, ruler of lands and seas

Alien Messiah
Alien Messiah
A recital of miserly contastrophists
led by a figure of churlish meanness
speaking rhetoric of the pacifist
maniacal god complex of fierceness
chorus

like Caligula, a self proclaimed living god
power hungry...

Ah, Caligula!
Ah, Caligula!
To history known,
Germanicus, excessive extravagance in Rome.
Delation must fall as thou rise from thy throne,
the senate quakes amidst the undulation’s tow.
Ah, Caligula!
One should never be avid,
or accept the as-is, as in to be average.
-Thoust...

Caligula Rules
Cheapskate perfume soils sweat-strapped ambience,
Crippled, choked extractor fan despair,
Palms dripping moisture cling to greased pale hips,
Swaying on the shag-pile threading bare.
Urgent urge to strip her body down, take her there,
Mercy straining leash-growling agony;
The desecrate of...

Caligula
Caligula,boss of the roman empire
he and his horse Incitatus
they ruled with sword and searing fire
his horse was truly audacious
hanging out at the local bar
Incitatus and Caligula gloats
parting never very far
drinking beer and eating oats

Wondrous, Eternal, Water
Water is wondrously eternal
Immutable in the end
The water one sips
Could have once passed the lips
Of Jesus or Caligula my friend
It's an essence that flows
drips and drapes
That takes many forms, many shapes
It's fog ...It's cloud
It's...
