in our own hearts,

no matter how long

A farm girl went to the city
Where old men admired her kitty
Her landlord forgets
Her flat is, "No pets"
Because her boobs excite pity...

To airbnb in the attic
Means a landlord may leave
Hors d'ouevres in the eave

Yet we all must remain patriotic

Without any pay
Makes my landlord and grocer neurotic!...

Who owed several months of back rent
The landlord yelled "Buster,

Early in the morning
I heard a knock
On my door
I opened the door
It's my landlord, oh lord!
He seemed happy, thank God
Then he said bhangi, oh no!
Do you smoke it?
Hell no!...

No worries, no bills, no looking for a habitat

Who is that who is knocking at my door son
Could be Santa needing a bite of our turkey
Could be the wise men asking for directions
On their way to welcome the newborn king
I hope its not the landlord the rent isn't due
Could be sally son bringing my bottle of wine
It must  be youre mum she's late for dinner...

This is the age of - Man, I really need  a break!
This is the age, dear brother, when all the news  is fake.
The taxman just took all my cash, the dentist my last tooth,
and Santa Claus they stole away as everything's post truth.
I need imaginary money to pay the imaginary rent.
my debt to  an imaginary landlord for a room I did invent....

Hovering in the
Clutter of poverty,
No smiles on their faces,
Looking skyward
Having a confrontation with God,
Their eyes the voices of their souls.
Their houses shout too,
We are enslaved!
The windows are dark and lifeless!
Who will hear them when they cry?
Not the landlord,
Over the jingle of his pocket money!
Pacific Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J.

Please, fancy not stone field:
It assures none crop yield. 
From death won't one shield,
When guns one's killers wield...

Only a big name yield:
"A Landlord" owners wield 
And causeless questions field 
From the press that lands shield!

Then, choose between crop yield 
And mere names that lands wield:
From those of a stone field 
I shan't fail to self shield...

The moon first came in between the day and night 
     hanging la,  la, la, ...... 
   Vampire's breaches like monster like dragon like Gongola
   before?,   fula bridge and cambridge and redsea
     and a lot more?. 
  Moo,   moo,  moo the moon's  landlord monsters and 
   zombies and water ware house wolves whispering and 
   airing a night hood- moon-  ballad.

O, Judges...

Don't be too hasty in showing me the door;
I know it feels as though I'm a bore.

So many times I've played out of tune,
but I've been practicing since June.

I have nothing to pay my house bills;
yelling from my landlord kills.

The last job I really tried;
in frozen Alaska I almost died.

Please, give me another chance,
I prove to you my musical grace........

Thailand,
Or Kensington?
Tinfoil from a Kit-Kat,
Tells you that there’s no difference,
Outside,

Cocaine,
Ammonia,
Old Martell miniature,
A Bic lighter; a mound of ash,
Bangkok?

Fly south
Like Garuda,
Drift off to Koh Samui,
A Beach house, Or Council estate?
Who cares?

Wake up,
Burnt down candles,
Landlord on the doorstep
‘Last weeks rent?’ ‘Giro on Thursday…
…Get lost…’...

Pardon me
  but aren't you --
Oh, no. You're not
  How foolish of me
Please excuse

But, say
  Wait a second
Weren't you --
  No, I guess not
Sorry, my bad

Ha! I've got it
  We met at --
Oh, no we didn't
  It was someone else
Mea culpa

What's that?
  You're my landlord?
The rent's past due?
  Impossible, sir

You must be having a bad day
  ~ I guess I'll be going my way...

Witch cousins crammed into the tiny duplex.
Packed in so tightly, that no one could flex.
Warlocks were mad now, couldn’t work on their pecs.
Party spilled over onto noisy neighbor’s upper deck.

Neighbor strained to take pix, injuring her neck.
Gawkers I cars had a horrible three-pile-wreck.
Landlord made witch cousins write him a big check.
They painted his car with psychedelic paint fleck....

You can go anywhere as someone else,
the masks and jesters play
invisible to sound and touch
the Lords and Creatures pray

To rent the future—sell the past,
the landlord still unnamed
invulnerable to what they sell
the real prize still unclaimed

To cry out once your voice reversed
lone echo at your back
the Landed Gentry comes and goes
—the crossroads blackest cat

His quit notice hung with a tack
Bears his landlord’s wish that he pack:
Disappear with his threadbare sack
And not leave behind his rack;
Both now strapped on his confused back,
His famous peace pierced with this hack!
No comforting whisky from a just left shack,
His belongings bespeaking his lack,
His dragging feet his customary slack,
As he keeps weighing a night at Hotel De Jack
Run by Abusive Jack,
Sometimes in a hurry worth a whack!...

In a few days, the rent is due.
Maybe my landlord does not know,
Postponing the obvious blow,
Or, delaying my outdoor view.
Visitors spew residents who
Evict themselves, due to no dough,
Rather than let compassion show,
Instantly stepping in my shoe.
Sooner or later, he will come
Here, expecting to get the rent.
Meanwhile, I will keep playing dumb,
Each time I am given a hint.
Now, I really feel like a bum,
Trying to savor my last cent....
