Long Vcr Poems

It’s another day, yes, another day
Another day to watch my cronies wandering around
meandering around aimlessly, flippantly like
they have no care…no care in the world
and just like that…bludgeoned by a badly worn cowboy boot!
Guts all over!

I had a dream one night, That was a nightmare, so vivid and so frightful

I stared into the barrel of a silver eyed pistol, 
Fear not understood, 
Fear not developed, 
You threatened the breath I breathe, 
For a dollhouse plaything to rummage within, 
As if it was to be...

WHAT'S IT GONNA MATTER AFTER?

What's it gonna matter
When…
a child looks to the heavens
and asks
what a star is...

when…
water mammals lie beached…
bodies acid-emblazoned lumps
on bleached sands...

when…
burnt-leaved
fields stare back
at tired farmers who seeded them...

pop-eyed children
plea for the mercy
of...

full of half dead trees with an orchard

broken wooden picket fence showd me decay
his child hood that'd been given away

On main street

They apologize to me
And I ask...

Welcome to the 90's!
Dial-up, pogs and frosted tips.
A decade to spice up your life, 
Take a moment to reminisce

Blockbuster's and pic-a-flic's
Tamagotchi's, SNES, MSN
Slap bracelets everywhere
Burnt C'D's for your discman

Met Forrest Gump and Mrs. Doubtfire
Travelled with...

First the ride (with kids' CDs)
Then supermarket (mini-cart);
Buying lots of food to please 
Then snacks and playground, for a start.

Books and Curious George on tape,
Dinner, Face-Time Mom & Dad;
From routines a great escape.
What a time...

And A Ballroom Blitz.

Why they called me an bundle of sticks

A cable wire necklace...

I don't subscribe to cable or satellite TV.
I don't even have those rabbit ears for the channels that are free.
My television viewing habits are strictly VCR or DVD.
Now there's no more commercials shouting at me...

in the basement is your first color television
known for its recurring static and bent antenna
and broken VCR

that doesn't open
but they've been here for thousands of years
