Where Is Your Mind?

Where is your mind?
Is it way out there in the clouds of smoking cigarettes and cigars?
Is it way out there in the clouds of smoking marijuana?
Where is your mind?
Is it way out...

Judge Daniele Saggio

This year of our salvation, sixteen twelve.
Now.  Gentileschi? Don Orazio?
This suit is yours.  You’d press it?  Drop it?  Shelve

it?  Very good.  And you are Tazzio?
Beg pardon, Tassi....

Daughters of Medusa


                   
Grey hair, ginger hair, dark hair......
All simmering in an inverted jar,
Cooked and fried
Headshrinkers doing...

jenny & johnny
(two hetero-swingers)
were enjoying the sunrise for their first time
with swirling rays of blissful first contact,
animalistic scents filling one another’s nostrils 
(faces all stuffed up in each other’s prospective 
cooch & coin purse)
with nectars...

(10/13/12)

At the beginning of “64” - I packed up my uniform
And walked out the door- it was the beginning of
The Vietnam war.
By August of that same year
President  Johnson started the draft
Under protests and jeers.

Then...

Calcutta. 

Hot and unberable in the searing summer heat 
and unberarable for more reasons than the heat. 
In a popular tourist cafe an American widow 
obsesses on her dead husband: she has a bundle

Sorry, I no more seek your suns
Nor moons
Yes, your suns I loved very much

Your passionate sun
Around which my planets would run
Your cool moons
Shedding long leaves
On my glistening lagoon
I remember
All my swoons
From wine in your spoon...

What did I do?

I don’t understand my life
I don’t understand the Life
I am suffering a lot
Day by day and day to day
When will this be over?
When? When?!

Evil psychopaths following me
Psychopaths: Oh, no. No, no
Sociopaths, like...

So many sick rivers 
Of pain, shock and shiver
Flow from longstanding wounds
Of soul-chopping depression that surround
Many islands next to you and me
As a consequence of the malady
Our development system is trapped in
Because of the flaws...

When caught mid-flight
End to bloat against gravity
Thanks, rejection is not of the earth

My eyes are welling
I won’t hold back with shame 
Even warriors often times loosen, weeping

A good mother’s breast thrust
Not in for the oldest...

In all probability by set built-in laws
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish

It's getting late-time to leave for work,
where we've lost our first to the red Wuhan curse.
I'll be strolling the halls with his freshly minted ghost.
Hopefully it won't loathe me, I pray it leaves me alone-
Everyone's...

Stepping through its beaded door
was like walking into a time cloud, 
whiffs of marijuana and hashish pipes
lined up by color in the cabinet 
to the right, behind which stood
a hippie and his girl, with beads
and...

There's a space in my heart that sings
Spills over and tells tales of hayring
Of magic and chance
Heartbreak and romance 
and old times.
Sounds of rippling rivers, sunlight and earth
Moorland on rock and winters warm hearth
Shambles of...

The Quiet Earth we watched that day
A film where the world ends
Two young friends were with me
I said to one of them
She has chucked me
We were high on hashish
He said 'Why not kill her'
The other...

The huntsman’s horn in
The School Boy is non-
native. But he likes the 

poem, hears a snake-
charmer’s pipe vicariously,
empathizes with Blake’s

boy’s love of  innate 
freedom, and then doodles
in boredom. Next period,

he slips down from
the top...

I’ve heard tell of some suicide cult in Kenya;
Poor folk pledged to starve themselves to death 
For God’s glory, and so malevolent surgeons 
Can harvest their organs for profit in trade.

Well, I’ve been to Kenya,...

Just to name a few and it grows from a seed...

We used to pinch Kathy's hashish
one trip at a time so she wouldn't notice
but it really didn't matter- we had total immunity,
because she'd never go whining to the cherries.
   
We'd light up just...

He turned off the running water,
soaped his face not glancing at the mirror,
a long night ahead.

He had four shadows
on the four walls of this rental,
not a good sign.

When later he turned the bedside light on,
