The Pied Piper from New York City – Part One

Dare his name be said?
I say, of course, Yes!

“Ten Years, Somewhere in their Lost Neighbourhood”

Of course,
he said, like a god,
there is no course,

a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging, 
backing the art...

In our most beautiful, suburbian , breakfast nook,
Where I read so many joyfilled books,
With  the golden sunlight streaming in,

Poem 18

Percival Jordan

1892 - 1912


I am where I am
Because of who I was.
I imbibed a million breaths
And observed the stars dotting the night skies
Like actors taking the stage for another eternal encore.
I am in the...

cellophane world...

procuring accouterment
of this and that from hither and thither

the consumeristic narcotic
rages through our pulsing veins

as we desperately try to pull on the ever-loosening reins


growing up all those years ago was easier, I do confess

Flim-Flam dances to the beat of a drugged out drummer
Her moves are suggestive and sometimes vulgar
Her hands are soiled and damp holding onto the grimy pole

To answer in straight...

Fifty years ago came
to me this morning
days long pass
a June day so cool.

Waking up to musical
sounds of birds singing

No cares, no worries
just now waiting for
friend Danny...

So, XYZ Company, after my five years of servitude and loyalty
you close the doors, you dissolve the department

And it was no accident you announced...

We shall rule. the land, sea and air,
rule with the rod of self love,
the patriotism of recalcitrant glory,
the righteousness of the just and holy,
the heart and soul of neo-con ideology.

Lance was a drifter, a gypsy, a loner, a lone wolf. Proud of it.
Not a highway man, not a flim-flam man, but a man who had traveled and knew things.

With no regret...

In compensation to cut wages.
Yet you remember me.
How you should have listened.
A siren of power rung.

With slanted rhymes I state my plan
In verse and meter try to cram
My words with all that old flim-flam

This ticker’s beat to master plan
