by Ko Un

At Auschwitz
piles of glasses
mountains of shoes ...
returning, we stared out different windows.

Ko Un speaks for all of us, by not knowing what to say about the...

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous...

There are red and green snitchies in my fingers,
They rapidly chase me down my wooden hall.
Delightedly twirl me I into a mass with their zingers,

THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET

The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand.
A Capella joviality, with torquing wrists, snapping fingers.
Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand.

Dapper in their pinstripe suits, hats — Delmonico brand.
Sweet Adeline, drawn out. ...

When Comedians Marry

Comics juggle three rings when they wed
On trampoline bed they start a circus 
Keep gold bands on hand while thinking zany thoughts  
The comic husband wears two condoms all the time

Cause normally it's me

PEPPY PANORAMA

Doe eyed dusky beauty
Silky tress and milky dress 
Exuding scent so fruity

She gazed at glorious tulips
Lovely hue, purplish blue
Kiss Planted with tender lips

She sat beside the limpid lake
Crystal clear, smiled with cheer
With her reflection...

My neighbor, who has sticky fingers,
lifts merchandise fast, never lingers.
Inside her big jacket
each item, she'll pack it--
fine necklaces, rings, even Zingers!

Her P O saw her steal his money.
He said to her, “Girl, this ain’t funny.”
