Flyovers

Progress seems proudly perched on flyovers, 
Sold on many a toll-dotted speedways. 
Each, pylon-pecked, on hinterland hovers, 
And not on friendly crisscrossing highways. 

They slyly gloat over our urban mess, 
And conceal, not care for local problems,
Which, ostrich-like, we bury to by-pass, 
And do sweet little on the urban slums. 

Should progress treat poor as from nether land? 
Cut off from sun, fit t’be hidden under, 
Whilst ugly growth is left on own to mend, 
What price progress piled on planning blunder? 

Everyone dreams a brand-new world to build, 
Where no organic growth gets widely spread, 
Wherein natural greenery gets killed,
Mother Earth gets gradually degraded.  

Flyovers are fine, so are expressways, 
Not if overlooked are our hinterlands 
Shepherded on the leftover bye-ways, 
Not if villages get locked as wastelands. 

Yet, that's what most flyovers seem to do, 
Expressways if they only metros care, 
When dotted lines only but two dots woo, 
And leave smaller towns in suspended air. 

For concrete jungles, local greens we kill,
Block rivers to build giant reservoirs,
And make the freely flowing rivers ill, 
Block neighbours behind winding flyovers. 

That progress seems fair— even high in air,
If all that lived around were it to care.

Half Time

Half Time

A warning from the winds,
What the spirit carries: no fumbles.
It brings the stories of the sun to the touchdown!
Lessons from the huddle, from the coach,
Under a lunar eclipse.

Last game of the season,
In the third quarter-
We scramble for the setup.

Because our die-hard fans watch,
and our fragile lives loom on it.
Then, the snap.
The stadium noise fades into silence.

No roar from the fans, just a sigh in the air.
The inner motion of the play
is as the ball arches upward.
Suspended above the green turf.

A leap for the pylon, reaches for the end zone.
Where the home team claims its own.
The stadium clock strikes zero, 
Frozen inbound waiting for their hero.
For the final score.

A Play On Words - Live

A PLAY ON WORDS – LIVE

The power failed on Thursday night.
I was left completely in the dark..
So I rang an ELECTRICIAN
To see WATT he could do
His response wasn’t very POSITIVE;
Because of the CURRENT crisis, he said
He’d decided he would go to EARTH
And stay OHM in INSULATION.
Though he still got LIGHT exercise daily
With a SHORT CIRCUIT round the park,
He said he couldn’t visit me;
The Covid rules wouldn’t allow it
He put up a strong RESISTANCE
Although I begged him to help,
He was following government GRIDLINES
And keeping his social distance.
I tried to PYLON the agony,
Pleading my old age in the MAIN,
But his answer was still in the NEGATIVE,
He said he would CONTACT me next year.
I’d have to do the job myself.
He was clearly in his ELEMENT
It wasn’t his VOLT, he insisted
He refused, so I RE-FUSED.

Brenda Chiri Oi

Last time we spoke you’d been in a car crash 
And the time before that you’d been in a car crash 
So it’s a fair bet the silence is from a car crash
Repetitive rhyming mate it’s like a car crash 
and you should know mate being the queen of car crash

Like an alarm harassing the ear drum til you arose
come back to life showing signs you're comatose, 
I’m coming over the pond to break you out of this mong, 
you been gone so long like my shlong, 
did you crash again moron,
stupid place to put a pylon
right in your path like that

this talk ain’t cheap it’s free 
we got fibres buzzing between you and me 
from text talk to poetry 
is it sexting you're fearing 
and that’s why you’re disappearing, 
how can I dis you when I don’t hear you, 
look I miss you come back I’ll cheer you
don't be a tongue tied Chiri try me on the fibre wireless 4g 5g 6g
the EE technology flying free over the sea from you to me so we see
Chiri reply to me you fake G

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Econo Lodge sign
       High
        On
        Its
      Pylon

Best we can do
For you Tedeschi Trucks
To put a moon in the sky

Over this interstate interchange
Jammed with cars and a decrepit minor league hockey stadium
Advertising the glory days and beer swigging of The Wings

Glows over the deadbeat semis and construction cones
Tearing apart I-94 between Chicago and Detroit

Gleaming casino next city over
Mocking us all by suggesting
I’ll see you over here
The last great guitar players and their dwindling fans
In just a few more years

Yes it’s 2024
And for good our children have left the house
Its couches beds and kitchen table chairs
Like unstraightened frames holding all our wall photographs

Our dog doesn’t mind
Wags his tail with the additional luxury choices
For his many daytime naps

My wife and I look for familiar friends
Though we understand the band are total strangers
During these glorious last 14 years together with us
We don’t want to be creeps to Derek and Susan in love on stage
Though we were the first to love them both up there

I give a hearty wave anyway from the front seats
And I think through the spotlights there’s a smile or wink returned to us
The silhouettes
As the two and their band watch one another
Still mesmerized as they saw and sing the epic Shame

And we the audience smash our hands and shake our tambourine heads
How can the whole world not know more
About this travelling family of musical magic?

We know in our minds they’re the best band in the world
On the scale of Zeppelin or the Stones in their prime
But in the now

And here they are
Still looking good and cool and willing to share something better
Kind enough to stop over
Say hello
Between Red Rocks and Milwaukee
To this little rustbelt university town

Stadium filled only three quarters of the way with 4000 people
I’m sure a sop financially for somebody
But the masterful musicianship we joyfully hear
And we respond with whistles and cheers
As good as anyplace
As loud as ever

Afterward
Outdoors
The Econo Lodge moon buzzes and blinks in our rearview mirror
For our long drive home on I-94
Back to Lansing we go
Chasing breadcrumbs the dotted lines

Our hearts filled our ears ringing
Through the quiet speeding dark.

Premium Member The Big Game Chiefs

Time is winding down 
And the Big Game is ready to put a smile on a wintry frown 
A Chief represents the A F see 
While the 49ers are the National wannabees 
Television has all the cameras set 
And NFL’s new city are completing their bets 
A six pack here and Doritos there 
This has become a yankee tradition since people care 
San Fran has its pans to handle 
And the Chiefs being leaders are carrying the burning candles 
Those looking for Callie fornia gold planted a three and the bay city nuggets look good indeed 
Saint Patrick did not want any of that 
When he added a seven-point end zone sequence before he sat 
Then with a little luck St. Patrick was able to get back the ball and a three-point kick was made without a flaw 
But those in greed had the need the roll down the field and score a Canadian major 
Leveling this championship wager 
Tied at ten the first half ended in a fast pace that should have been commended. 
After the entertaining half time show 
San Francisco came out on the go 
First it was an innocent three 
Followed by a ten-point lead 
St Patrick threw it to the wrong man
And the Chiefs started to feel like they were in a jam 
Then with the fourth quarter being played 
The Chiefs went on a war path one could say 
Putting together two good drives 
That showed they were still alive 
And then with only a pylon to worry about 
The Mo town boys had a lot to shout about 
Williams went in for the TD hurrah for Tom, Huck and Bet Key 
And after a video review seven points were on the scoreboard 
Making Mark Twain laugh and roar 
They may not have an arch in the arrowhead 
Just the Lombardi Trophy from the Packer guy who I remind you is dead 
Congratulations Hunt family on the feat  
That kept the Midwest with a stimulating heartbeat 
Rural America this one is for you 
Hopefully the winner is as true as the red, white and blue.

Nerida's Beach Tribute

Superhero strobe lighthouse helm hexagonal 
        Sixty degree angle glass captain bridge
        Watchtower for Diminutive Town message
        Warns cliff climbers must heed heirachy rule 

                                               
        Soaring steel pylon pinnacle, men microscopic 
        Sextant lassos moon coins for seafarers
        Capsized as whitecaps vomit precarious 
        Admiral amends an untoward son with his wallet 


        Navigator Nerida gazes star bright broadwater 
        Nile writhing serpent steps calm Cleopatra
        Societal riser sanitises sympathy's reaction 
        To hard-knock have-nots, tutorials taught her


        Ignore poor crippled car sleepers in their midst 
        Image is nine tenths of destiny, maintain it
        Dim raised to dazzling, finger emblazoned
        Bestows dirtily earned glory on emaciated wrist


        Beacon lights monarch morrow, slim limbs svelte 
        Jokers precluded erect huts on soft sand 
        Jewels crest strawberry sun-light garland
        Dangle gold carats in cards her chronicle dealt




                      Third of November

THE CHEVALIER OF BURGOS

At the foot of Burgos’ Castle
Looking toward its beautiful Cathedral
I learned what it means:
 "To tide down by the pylon"
Or "to go down to the Moor Muza."
From waist down
It was the first time
I saw and rarely admired
My girlfriend's chestnut or mussel.
The hair around it
Reached almost to her knees.
I wanted sex
And to do it like the calf and she calf
From Quintanar de la Sierra do
But she told me no
That, first, tide down to the pyle
Or to go down to the Moor Muza
As I wished
And adorn the banks of her mussel
With the two chevalieres we brought
Because " so this delicacy
From a pretty and sandunguera woman
Will taste better."
I grabbed the two chevalieres
A typical Burgos sweet
Cracking them hard on their chestnut
Making a paste of milk
Flour, butter, and yeast
Sugar, egg, and a pinch of salt
Plus the tartar from her big lips
And cute nymphs
Plus that sticky nectar that flowed
From her  and meatus.
I began to lick and eat
With an infinite hunger
Lifting my tongue from her anus
To the top of her Venus’ Mount
Biting her ********
As if it were a man's cock.
She realized
In a non-fake ******
That I was getting hard.
Sweetly, she said to me:
"Bring here that your hill with two eggs"
Taking it with her hand.
I don't know where she's taking it.
She didn't take it to the path between her two ****
Nor along the paths of the anus.
She took it to a blackberry bush
And there, almost, she killed it bleeding!
We didn't have sex.
She said to me:
-I think you'll be happy
With this wonderful snack you've had
Of partridge or rabbit
Of turtledove or quail
Adorned with local chevalieres.
Maybe another day
Your redwing will enter my nest
Or Il eat that your cream filling churro.
We set off along the path that leads
To the Church of Saint Stephen
Hopping, skipping, and singing:
By Maurice Chevalier’s
"Paris Will Always Be Paris".
Without realizing it
 I was walking with my fly half open
Saying she to me immediately:
Come back, come back to our place of love
I left my panties in the grass.
I answered her smiling:
- You¡ 
I'll buy you another one
Or go without it
That so You wear it much cooler
And better.

The Psychostasia

The Psychostasia
(The Egyptian Funerary Rite)

For seventy days I’ve been prepared
With oils and unguents ever so rare
And with linen bandages to and fro
Wound and wrapped from head to toe

And on this journey I’m prepared to start
By enduring the “Weighing of the Heart”
With Toth’s oversight we’ll see whether
My heart weighs true against Truth’s feather

Should it fall short the beast will devour
My soul to oblivion in my final hour
Yet should it measure straight and true
The Pylon opened I’ll be ushered through

And then I shall fall unto my knees
And pray that Osirus hears my pleas
That he acknowledge and clear my tears
And accept my soul for a thousand years

And cleanse said soul of all its scars
And make me one with the canopy of stars
And bless my children and my wife
That they may join me in the afterlife
