where a trellis was woven with rose climbing vines,

Imp-Ulse Attraction
The seductive voice
emanating from the Cyclops eye,
whispers: Don’t believe what you see!
Only trust what I say,
when you zombie sleep turn off the TV
Have no bewitching faith in your bad dreams,
especially the one...

The Balls: A Parody of Poe's the Bells
I
Hear the bouncing of the balls--
Basketballs!
What a sound of merriment they cause when each ball falls!
How they echo, echo, echo,
Inside the gymnasium walls,
Arriving at a crescendo
While the spectators shout “Bravo!”
Drowning the referee’s calls;
And the players...

sweet apple pie!
Patriotic American cheese is turning sour Kraut commie

Jade Oinkment
The sow beauty queen’s
favorite color is money green
The cloven jaw cutie’s
favorite sound is “cha-ching”
Miss Piggy Lips loves how the cash registers
throughout the land constantly rings
That jade oinkment noise
is a pigmentary salve to her greedy...

Again
It comes in waves
Before you know it
Was it always there
It comes in waves
You didn’t think about it today
Did I make it up
Is pain a feeling I’ve ever known
It comes in waves
This time was...

To Help the Deaf To Hear and the Blind To See
TO HELP THE DEAF TO HEAR AND THE BLIND TO SEE
“Skepticism," the poet told the woman,
"is contained in human reason and can never divorce itself from it,
because human reason contains the truth.”
The woman whispered, “And...

The Life Champion
THE LIFE CHAMPION
To take
Use up
And run
Is the aim of the life champion
A conscience?
Sadly the man on top
Seems bred with none
He wants it all
And of course it must be free
To work for...

A String of Pearls
So this is the way the moon remembers,...
by reaching into yesterday
I hold her pearls against the light,
and see a strand that tethers time
With envy now, the night is awed
Covetously, it fondles rows
of tiny orbs. Which,...

Fool's Goad
Little lemmings,
beware of the Yukon yodel
Don’t ear swallow the Arctic shiny yellow
Fake eureka disclosure: It’s jingle hollow
So, enamel blowflake please,
place not your panhandle hope
in Ivory Boast fool’s goad
I, ebony breath beg of thee,
be not glutton...

Slithering Meat
Reptile meat got a foul swallow
The creeping things they eat
emit putrid vapors ...
vocal odors lemmings do follow
Falling off the cliff
into the mouth ...
Bask in the saliva nasty
Get paralyzed stiff —
a human mouse ...
Cheesy...

Speaking Ill of the Dead
Dishonorable plastic discharge
gouge a crater debt
of predatory lending regret
Dead faces on printed paper
exercise still
their executive will
Oppressive weight
from the mausoleum stacks
of dollar bills
Folded temptation —
some crispy new,
others old and faded
Both remain in
C-4 spend circulation
See...

Sea of Collateral Carnage
See the human debris,
the scattered limbs torn apart
by shrapnel velocity
In so many Third World places,
the second-hand groan grafters
commit mercantile murder
in the first degree
Time encapsulated buried hatred
leech covetously
Flooding the colonial lands with booby-trap misery
Tick-tock waves of...

Sand Goddess
Supine she lies upon the sand
beads of perspiration finely dot
curvaceous golden brown form
carefree tresses spring, fly away hair
coconut oil lathers coquettish peaks
bared free, flesh innocent
she turns, languish sun kissed rays
fingers brush sand that lingers
covetously to...

Digital Translation
Ten fingers
left and right palm pig squeezing a thief’s prayer merry
One finger
covetously dipped in the pie hole green apple gouging
Nine fingers
raven cloaked in vulture reaper robes condor circling
Two fingers
giving the universal sign of double...

Repast of Silence
A sparrow stopped to sing to me as the morning set
Of chance born from fate for this living destiny
Unfolding for me as a many petal flower
Beneath the afternoon’s first kiss
I sing this evening of the...
