all I needed under my belt, 
like why the f*** do I care,

like a movie directed by Luci, 
I’ve...

Rappelez-Vous
(English translation below original French)

Rappelez-vous les petits fils 
Qui ecoutaient leurs grand-peres
Raconter des histoires d’ infanteries 
Et de battailles de la premiere guerre.

Rappelez-vous des braves garcons 
Qui s’imaginaient etre des soldats,
Qui plus tard servaient le...

RED  DOOR (collaboration)


by~ Benita Margaronis

War Of The World Death, pain, blood, 
Shell-shocked men, suffering and darkness. 
It's all they ever saw.  
Soldiers thinking about their lives.  
Rotting flesh and the whimper of...

Oh Mr. Postman, 
Where have you gone?
Oh Mr. Postman, 
Wake up its dawn.
You vanished without a trace, you didn't even leave a trail.
Should I send a message in a bottle or just an "E-Mail"!!!?

Oh Mr....

the mother drinking coffee, mends a small run on her hose.

The mailman rings the doorbell, rising up she stops her...

"I regret to inform you" the dreaded telegram began,
"That your son is missing in action" and on it sadly ran.

Her son Charles...

Mine was an awning,
I was not fawning,
crammed into my mind,
the space was just not available,
the flesh was raw and broken,
the nerves jingled every now and then,
sending painful telegrams,
blood frightened me,
as it oozed out timorously,

*A Confectionary Daughter*

Slice by slice
Gesture by gesture
Passing out sweetness in the halls of her school

Sending out love telegrams in the way of her confectionary love
She is a rare kind of daughter
She never goes hungry
Nor does...

Dot to dot and dash to dash:
telegrams sent in a flash.
Electromagnetic force:
credit goes to Samuel Morse.
Dots connected on a map
by his magic tap-tap-tap.

telephones 
ringing with telegrams
I answered and received a body slam
bubble gum used to fix a cracked dam

with a juicy rare rack of lamb
