of a whim

The poor man crossing
Got hit by a long limo.
                    "So close," said the tree....

the light us the night
some where all white
there ring
ping and sing
in the limo
the music is bloon tune
the BRIDES OF JUNE...

Honesty void of a duplex gives rash,
Meekness without a Limo makes men harsh,
life should be less hard
love with credit card
My man should be god-fearing but with cash....

Brad is Mo's better half? he's also her hero
20 years with Cirque de Soleil, Mo's chest does billow
Totally enamored
Must be an honor
To be married to a celeb, driving around in a limo...

My friend said he would pass by
We are gonna light it up and get high
From here to the club is a long drive
So call a cab
Or call a limo coz I'm sitting on a wad
And we let it fly
When the munchies set in 
I told my chef to let it fry...

I know of our neighbor called Kimbo

who joins poker deals like a gizmo--

  he slammed one big bluff

  lost all his rich stuff--

paid  debt cleaning old waiter's limo !

Prom.
Crepe paper streamers
Glitter and fuss
Fancy dresses
Ridiculous prices
Stylish Tuxes.
New colors, to impress
Limo?
What?
It's not a wedding, people!
It's a dance,
though few will.
Most will rush around,
stiff in their clothes.
Holding their stomachs in....

In the garden of love
Paper work 
Fingerprints 
Dress 
Suit 
Limo
Guests 
Money 
In the garden of love
Smiling
Laughing out loud
Photos
Signatures
Cheers
The kiss
In the garden of love
Hotels
Parties
Champagne
Loving
Bubble bath
Bedroom
Deep in the garden of love...

cursing your fate, leaving that casino,

           you zoom away in your glistening limo;

      it seems you've been on a long, losing streak,

   feeling down, down, like some hearbroken freak,

        wishing you were that drunk, carefree hobo,

            nothing to win or lose, anywhere you go....

Welcome to Japan where an Uber costs
two hundred dollars and a can of Spam.
Tokyo — all my pockets it exhausts.
My plane’s just arrived and I’m in a jam.

I turn the spindle and it cuts me — ouch!
I miss the lights and the tree and my wife.
A limo would have taken half my pouch.
I miss her long arms and I miss my life.

PRIDE

                 mom shows light to child
                              to illuminate and guide:
                                            that’s her bliss and pride.

Rihanna takes a bath in two scoops of ice-cream
Gaga fans made a lots of wind as Pink rosy on the cheeks
wrapped in a linceul twirled a rope

revere the faithful for a smile
as no limo here to ride a fiat 
the found almost a fiacre
coming from Cuba I do not surf the past

open the keys and lime the way to pies for every one
JZ my subway I M the ride
exchange of blues
wear the hood....

Elvis has left the building.
The paparazzi run toward the alley.
There is no limo, only an old beat up van.
There is no peeking inside.
The windows are black.
Wait! Says one.
Elvis has been gone for over forty years.
He has been sighted numerous times, another argues.
He disappeared to have a life, throws in a third.
Elvis crouches down under the bottom bunk.
Holding his breath until they are gone....

the needle pushes in her face 
a kiss and the wall scratches 
higher naked searching cracks
for an exit you scream soldiers
planes flash back and forth flying
a room fills with angry anxious
voices shadows growing tall
corpses rise flowers swallow
space white crosses over graves
praying mantis mothers explode
down the endless fluorescent
hall your lifted into the 
long black limo ripping worms
from your face...

Perfect ceviche
Almost alive
Flounder, Corvina
Pacific coast fish flavored,
One you must try.
Slice
Clean 
Cut
Into 1 inch marbled cubes,
This is not a recipe
But a cooking muse.
Salt
Garlic and pepper
Then shower one of a kind Lime,
Mix with Aji Limo,
Get ready to dine.
Sprinkle
Twirl 
Thinly sliced 
Purple onion,
In the next 2 ½ minutes
Treat yourself,
To the perfect Ceviche 
Made in Peru 
You will eat nowhere else....

Looking Out My Bedroom Window

When I was young I dreamt of places to go.
I looked out my window.
I could swing or slide, 
Or climb the Mimoso

How will I go?
I looked out my window.
I could walk or ride my bike,
Or take a limo. 

Where will I go?
I looked out my window.
I could stay inside,
Or follow where the rivers flow.

Now I must go.
I looked out my window.
I will do as I like,
My dreams will follow....

Evil’s Bookends


Sept 8, 2001, 7:30PM
The limo arrives
the concierge opens the doors
to a clear cool night in the city,
a first Broadway Play.
A cell phone call, a Playbill
tucked between a broken pencil
and a pair of bifocals.

Sept 12, 2001, 10:35AM
Sirens blare
amid grey-white ash.
A cell phone rings,
torn Playbill flaps.
Broken pencil,
sightless glasses,
crushed in the grip
of mindless madness.
