New Neighbors, Part Ii
Meanwhile, Mrs. Pappadopoulos
has circled back and plops down
on Fred's front porch, all tuckered out
So Fred cheerfully pulls up a chair
and together they sit and stare
openly ogling, gawking, gaping
because, as everyone knows-
it's not considered staring

The tortured me lives in the blue one
The elephant in the red and white

In Memory Leonard Cohen

Slaves to the sexual caresses of time
Stallions in black gallop gallantly in fields
Of spring full wishes
Thou seeith the birth of love
Naked hopes surrounded by sweet...

I much prefer how things were when I was

Back then, things worked and moved
Without complaint, and...

Long Distance Romance
dizzy spaces lie stretched between us,
leagues of empty land,
desert, the boundless impassive seas -

I'Ll Sing Her a Song
The first time I saw her
My heart got the wobbles
I could smell her perfume -
My knees got the hobbles
She was walkin' my way

That I've always favored
She said, "You're...

Old Goat
There was a little Nubian;
The kids just called her Split.
Banana was her mama, and
She looked like her a bit.

A mean old parasite.
It nearly took the poor girl out;
