with transparent regenerative function,
cosmological purpose, maybe,
if you're a chicken,
or a turkey, 
or a...

Aww shucks
Still at the crux
In a state of flux
With reality still out of touch

John Wayne strolled in and he ain’t here to dance
They say that he walked like he just sh*t his pants

Everything is topping up
The Lunatic has struck his luck
By waiting like a sitting duck
He found his “Stomach-tuck”

His stomach-tuck’s a golden goose
Or is it his final noose?
Everything is going round
But where is it...

I received an exciting soup mail
I’m minted, with wealth off the scale
But I know it’s a fraud
By some bloke from abroad

Got a call from a ‘Microsoft’ guy*
His fake story...

His mom always yelled at him,
" Get up, Jed and get to work;
move your lazy butt, sitting duck

He told me,
"Go tell the bartender
I need a 'cream.'"

I asked, "What's that?"
He said, "Cops and robbers,
all that. You know."
He gave me that look.

Next thing I knew
we were in the vehicle
running from the cops,
bullets flying everywhere.

Caught in a thicket, concrete among the rebels
Hit with hard metal and then showered with shrapnel
Shots fired. Get on the ground
But I'm brick dry and the ground is my foundation
So I am in no position...

his collar, and his shirt
is partially unbuttoned. A burning desire
to reveal his presence is evident.

As I lay sleeping, I dreamed of a caravan
Chased by a hydra and a ten foot bogeyman
As I slumbered, I saw a desert moon descending
Monster lumbered as my arms were extending

In my quiescent state, I...

A bear cub dashing eastward found Gil Hillcrest.
Inebriated, joyfully kicking, laughing, merrily nauseated.
Observing practically quiet rapaciously stopped.
Tacitly, unexpectedly, voraciously, whipped, X-Gil.
Yesterday's zealous-zap!

So the story goes.
Tomorrows feast; who knows?
Opportunities like Gil Hillcrest are rare.
Practically a sitting...
