Short Aires Poems

Five dumb lawyers moved to Buenos Aires 
Those attorneys simply couldn't care less
   They didn't speak Spanish  
   Their livelihoods vanished
Verdict: "Our law schools didn't prepare us!"...

No note,
the bed unmade,
the milk, imprisoned in plastic,
left to grow solid on the kitchen table.
Winter’s gray made me insane, and
so I flew on steel wings to Buenos Aires,
where the air is humid and smells of unwashed
sins, and the angry sun beats down 
on oceans of grass,
and the red wine flows, 
numbing my Yankee brain....

What's your sign?
Aires, Libra, Pisces....
Stop, Yield, or Merge....
Did you ever get the urge?
To change your bloody sign?....
Then you've got to hear mine!
It's "Push Down and Twist!"
Some clown could not resist,
To hang it from my neck,
Oh, what the heck!!
Who put it there, I wonder,
God, or me, or all my ex-wives?
Slappin' five, and twisting knives?...

Aires O'Ariel Arias
Bursts O'Eloquence,
Break Yo' Heart Tweaks,
Peals of Consequence,
Melodious Shrieks,
Each in Uniquence,
Viral Trills, Not Meeks,
Singing Mate Dance,
Puffing, Not Luffing Cheeks,
Je Suis, Donc Sans Pence,
Warblin' Hormonal Leaks,
Carpe Diem Sequence,
Resonant, N'Soaring Squeaks,
Releasing Our Traces O'Tense,
We Envy the Grammar of Beaks!...

Listen to poem:

The fragrance of an open bottle, ~~numbs,
It aires a room resigned to fulfillment,
Impatience dealt some wayward errant doves,
Carries them to moor like patient children,
Obeisance for 'tis nature that they delves,
Buries their heads fore flights of fluttering,
A floor draped in white feathers, winds bundles,
Door burst, shoos, closed windows, seals a bottle.

I hear the dull moans of a malignant class

 as classes clash and drones drone on

 Electronic wizards wrack, whack, whack

 merrily on their way to a zombie-like state.

  
 Loathing lies and jumbo surprises belie

 aires, stares and convenient alignments

 welding together a mangled mass of fluff

 certain to shift us toward a boorish fall

                            of great proportions...
