Long Underlings Poems

"That also has a steep drop off the far side of Home Sweet Hell" said my soulless guide as he pointed in the direction of the nearby screams. 
I could see what resembled silhouettes or...

Translation of « On est les oubliés » (They/We are the neglected and forgotten lot)

I grew up and out on a four family-owned,
and cooperatively-organized,
extended matriarchal farm.

Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,
without substantial questions about who should wear pants,
yet with a surprising matriarchal cooperative understory.

The boxers outnumbered the...

“The Seance” 

It was macabre you see,
we were all summoned,
and therefore found ourselves
in the front parlour of Ballylee;

In our dreams
we thought we were poets
of fabulous notoreity, 
the head ghoul set us straight on that.

The planchette...

Exposure

All the pretence of innocence
The rules that one invents
Laws that must be seen to be
Beyond the reach of devilry

Those in power can circumvent
As they like, with full intent
Legal eagles can but try
To keep your vision...

A planned response, came past the clerk,
this self-absorbed, fanatic jerk
He took the note and with a grin,
then tossed it in the garbage bin
But missed it by a margin wide,
his error was so hard to hide
For...

Some people like to say that I am crazy
to think our sovereignty we’ll one day lose;
to think all countries under one umbrella
would ever be discussed or make the news!

But if you pay attention, you can...

I once thought I could never be like them,
the privileged and rich whose every whim
is catered to by underlings like me--
but then last year I won the lottery!

The family I’d worked for soon went broke.

Dangerous Visions

I see you and you see me. 
We are not free anymore. 
Or at least that is your intent. 
You place the bonds...
you brought with you, 
on all that will willingly take them... 
However,...

Copper robbers ... penny-ante coin collectors
Duly appointed by Caesar Cersei,
deputized purse snatchers
Modern day publicans holding the money bag,
appointed bean counters
being levy 
abacus austere
Placing palm heavy fines on the people
of the Iron throne realm,
keeping them usury...

Progressive letters talk and reel
Tempting minds at the brink of fruition
Imaginative portents come to being
Through the exchange quality of mental travel
Ideas fashion acclaim and source the brain
Stimulating fervor glows mutant at souls pestering

But when boundaries...

Her sweet smile lights up the afternoon screen 
Dancing her way into America’s hearts each day, 
With special gifts to the completely unsuspecting 
Christmastime is replete with a massive give-away. 
Take good care of yourself....

watching the politician’s dick get
bigger as he

AN OFFERING OFTEN OFFERED AN ORPHAN'S OFFSPRING

Awful avocados always
Breathe bitter blue breaths
Craving cardinal’s Christmas carols
Ditching deliberate dungarees during
Elusive extraterrestrial escapades.
Forsaking fitful Floridian flamingos,
Getting gaudy, gratuitous gnarly gifts,
Herewith having hilarious hefty hallucinations,
Imagining India’s illustrious indigo ideologies.
Jackals jerry-rigging jealous junking jackalopes
Kangaroos kissing kindly,...

Welcome to our Wonderland
Where polls and politics abide
Our elves will take you on a ride
Where you will meet the Prince of Darts
Who tolerates the Queen of Hearts

I have walked through mud and autumn rain
In  the ancient hunting woods of kings
The dead brown leaves  no longer feel their pain

I see bare branches  which will  green again

Verily I say unto thee,
The subjects of kings are not free.
They answer to all the king’s court.
Submitting a yearly report.

If rulers own part of thy time,
With a tax on every dime,
Then thy freedom and liberty
Is...

Mr. Corporate caveman,
where goest thou wayward hands?
Giving boardroom ape-man grunts
to the second bananas in command
You love talking jungle lewd
to the female office underlings
Always feeling on someone else’s 
body wrapped packages
Dino dogs love sniffing 
in somebody...

Centenary 
100 years since that war and the mighty are dressed

Alabaster annoyance 
Blatantly breathes bulbous brightness
Cadaverous comedy caring 
Daintily during delicate delivery
Exciting elderly enigma.
Furious fiery feeler
Gregariously greets
High-handed hustler
Ignoring imaginative immediates
Jauntily jeering judiciously.
Kangaroo kisses kibitzes
Leaving luxurious loners
Merrily masticating mincemeat.
Never-do-wells needing knowledge
Ostentatiously officiate on orange orangutans.
Precariously polite...

lacksidasical larry leaps lovingly through the air
