Long Demarco Poems

I am reminded of the atheist who died. Or rather was presumably pronounced dead for a 
short period of time, then revived. Upon waking, the atheist announced that he had gone 
down the tunnel of...

Rainy Day in Baseballland
Inspired by: Casey at the Bat

It was a rainy day in Baseballland
The players were home in bed
One rookie rolled over his eyelids a flutter
With dreams of a stand-up triple running through his...

Confessions of a Swirly Straw

The Swirly Straw said to the Clear Cola

If I wanted so...

Secrets of the Soma

We don't wear our mind on our sleeve
We wear our mind.
Our body is an extension
Of mental characteristics and environmental dynamics, 
Like a suit custom-made from our past,
Each scar a sovereign of pain...

Joe Kaye first developed...

Confessions of Pistachio Pudding

The pudding said to the whipped cream 
"I love the way you feel on top of me...

We are being taught what is not important
"Follow your Hear- a... your money or time is money."
We are being taught an illusion
Disconnected from the land that feeds us

Keep building more buildings
More highways, more factories, more...

The suicidal King and the one eyed Jack
Were perusing the bar for a late evening snack
"How's her?" asked the Jack.
"Too thin," said the King.
"I like the women...
with bottoms that swing."
"How's she?" asked the King.
"Too plump,"...

Gather round children,
 as I tell the tale,
Of how all the banks
 started to fail.
About how the government
 bailed out the rich,
Rather than the poor, 
 which would have been a switch.

People were greedy,

Just because the plane has landed 
And the pilot has turned off the fasten seat belt sign 
Does not mean you should hurry to get out of your seat,
It will be five minutes before they...

"Porn without sound
Is not nearly as good," 
The girl with the scorpion tattoo 
Turns and says to me.
"Duh," I comment.
"It's as if a part of our 
Brain 
And sex drive 
Are turned off," she tells...

All is written by the same hand;
Our God is the same God,
Who is everything, 
Who is nothing.
Jesus and Buddha sought the same thing;
All major religions are the same
But different cultural aspects 
Make descriptions that are...

Beyond the invincible Death,
Past the infectious Icons,
The ever-winding spatial staircase,
And the crack between Time and Space,
Lies the unconscious mind, the ethereal plane, and the land of the lost.
I have traveled miles to be here,
And there...

The scene is all too familiar
(Except for the purple sky),
Has this happened before?
Deja vu on the edge of a waking dream?
In another life,
Or maybe all funerals are the same?

The same ceremony.
The same casket
(Well this casket...

The three hundred
shall perish again,
As history repeats
itself.
Although this time,
it may only be 297.
My mother was
possessed by the
God, Apollo,
On the 21st the new
Oracle of Delphi is
crowned.
And although the
prophet is blind,
it makes the
prediction no less
false,
the narrative no
less...

We hardly remember the truth
Victims of the Great Forgetting
We hardly recognize that history is popular culture
A screenplay of the past written by the victor

Just look at Thomas Jefferson
Author of the Declaration of Independence 
With his...

The Lorax is on top,
I wish it would stop.
All these bad and good memories,
of me and you.
The trees are all green,
and the water (like me) is blue.
The tree's tongues are tied,
and twisted,
searching for the place,
where...

Three thousand ginger bread cookies 
On a purple path to shade 
Twisted Time Diagonally 
Elusively Disfiguring Reality 
Green was Blue 
Blue was Happy 
Happy was Sneezy 
And the other Six dwarves 
never showed 
They didn't...

David Opu had more money than money could buy.
He lived his life wanting more, he was corrupted by a lie.
That money can make you happy and tuck you in at night.
That money replaces love, forget...

Everytime I bring up the subject

We get caught in the loop

perpetually

It is as if we are frozen in this amber forever

forced to relive the same argument 

time and time again

"How could you do this to...

I was running up the mountain, 
Just dog tired,
Suffering,
My mind drifting 
Between the Infinite Rift.
My Aumakua (spirit animal) stops on a branch nearby.
He starts to chirp a mile a minute.
I cannot understand him.
For a second...

It snowed in Baghdad yesterday;
The Whales will have to find 
Somewhere else to go;
The Islands are SOLD OUT.

The traffic in the sky
Is going to get worse;
As the Earth floods again,

From the tops of the skyscrapers
To the freedom bells that ring,
Let all the registered voters
And poor children sing,

"We have had quite enough,
Of this corrupt game;
We must vote them all out
Or suffer more of the same."

I climbed to the top of the clock tower,
With the wind lightly at my back.
I positioned myself ever so slightly, 
And got ready to attack.
I brought back the bow,
And let the arrow fly.
I aimed straight...
