when
life becomes
one long
prison sentence
all meaning
becomes
nothing
so Bob
took
his memories
and
a good strong
length of rope
and
quietly

thru
the bars
con't
The damn memories
are still so clear.
And now I am alone,
the only one left
because my brother
sliced his neck
in what has become
a family tradition,
that is, to leave
of your own volition.
If I could only get
the reruns to quit
maybe my goddamned
head wouldn't split
and I wouldn't feel so
fragmented
broken into a million
disassociated pieces
in a fugue
until it ceases.
1958
Bikini bottom
All sponges rotten
The people have left
Though the holes remain
Swim suites in celebration
Propaganda in every state
Love that bombed a hate
Because of their guns
They are the great
Still poor bikini island
Where once the people thrived
Now thanks to that Uncle Sam
And his cheerful children
That lowly hydrogen weapons
The island is left in radiation seasons
And all those soldiers could scream was
God bless our nation…
