Ozzy

...Ozzy placed an ad that said: Ozzy
Zig requires a gig. It was that ad that

Angelic Standards Trashed

...

          She talks trash like an overwrought magpie

The day a poet didn't die-III: The experiment

To treat a poem like lab equipment.
Smearing souls on damp napkins,
scribbling overwrought sorrows.

We are sacred, young lady.

Once Again

coils are uncoiling,
snakes study the intricate anatomy

The Echo Returns Not

into the center of the sea 
alone
	to find a cure for my loose heart 
not the spring-back type, noble with elasticity 
but leap-forward lecher-wild

Mice she’s still fetching
She defies my lectures on...

...Welcome to our generation,
We hope you enjoy this fantastic nation,
Kids here stand on a quicksand foundation,
And fear their schools are a gunned down station.

LETS TANGO

...LETS TANGO

Nobody said, Let’s go to war
But an invasion, well I never
An Atlantic territory, remote

Or perhaps get overwrought
Eight thousand miles by boat
