Short Ethanol Poems

Cataracts are bothering me, checking it out
Blurry at best, peeing in the sink or thereabout
Walk into walls
Drink ethanol
Lately by mistake, I've even eaten sauerkraut...

whoosh, whirr,
Beware! Beware!
Watches, rings, and all metal here,
beep, beep, Click.
Ethanol in the air.
crackles as ice falls.
Gloves and Helmets on.
Polish, sweep, mop.
Cool air....

Like tossing your soul in the air
And having shotguns
Blistering it into pieces.
Filling up 
On ethanol 
And fall where they may.
Seeing the future 
And deciding to go anyhow
Or staying home.
Filtering emotive urges
Into a piss cup
In your couch comfort. 
Stay glassy, like
Soda pop,
You'll be ok
Or not....

Give me a Call

I am prettier than you
(in complete darkness) -smarter too
(when I give no tongue) -I’m an angel
(when heaven fails) a dancer, a singer,
a multilingual,  polyphenomenol, unsolvable
crusade of mystery, always and insistently
(when mixed with ethanol) but, best of all
I’m no one at all! 

Give me a call ;)...

From a corn husker's view
it's quite natural, not new
It's like spit fire under the moon
Lit up like bootleg
and clean as the rows
upon rows upon rows stood divided
Freedom from fumes 
so we scrape and exhume
every bone, every shred of our conscience
and we buy the new wheel
just to think and to feel
that we too swim in currents of difference...

Cheers to the choke of the elixir filled chalice,
Filling my corporeal cup with mind-melting malice.   

Through the croaking burnt throat slides the thick murk,
Of fermented vegetation rotting where the ethanol lurks.

Down into the dungeon depths it goes into my stomach's livery,
Whose falciform uniform scythe slices all with drunken chivalry.

Into pieces I'm slashed into smithereens,
Smashed into a shattered glass of gasoline....
