Gaseous Escape

Just give me,
nitrous oxide.
so I can dream.

Iron oxide
Leads to red beach
Vivid red waves.

Color red beach
Form red algae
Red colored sand.

Paint sky red
Brush by red rays
Red light reflect.

Flash red river
Awes many eyes
Flood by tourist....

When You See Me
“When you see me smile,
All I do is pile
The S*** from the dim
And from the dead within.

When you see me cry,
And people look at me cockeyed.
I feel like Superman
Breathing Krypton-oxide.”...

a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.

where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line....

When I let one loose in the elevator,
    I blamed it on last night's baked beans.
    The blast from it sounded like thunder,
    As it tore a large hole in my jeans.

    I apologised to all and sundry,
    For acting like, a silly jackass.
    But my voice became rather squeaky,
    As my flatulence, was pure laughing gas.

Sometimes he has to give himself a hit of nitrous 
oxide, when the most exciting thing in his 
day is when a second set of incisors 
appears behind the first set, 
but then he can only refer 
the patient's parents to 
the orthodontist, who 
makes real money,
although the
referral fee
helps.

Still he can’t help wondering if 
implants could have helped 
Chet Baker’s embouchure....

I intake oxygen 
from the green trees
by the deep breaths.....

I live under the sky
Where  thousands of star twinkle
like the blinking of sweet young ladies
telling you to love them.....

I expel carbon-di-oxide in the air
To make the trees green
To make the sky blue
And to make the ocean deep......

My sky is full of stars
twinkling like the blinking 
of sweet young ladies.........

I'm planting myself between reason and stoicism
All the odious black stuff is coming back
like oxide fillings on the factory floor
Some see a new uprising happening soon
Give me back my time
which is laying on the ledge
within an inescapable air hole 
digesting all the pain that's here to stay
The harvest of  disavowal 
by the chagrin lady
except I have listened too far
and the people have spoken...

Smart child can imagine
The obvious wide margin
Between Whore and Virgin,
The young and the Ageing,
Main Language and Pidgin
Birds of Prey and Pigeon 
Human Heart and Engine
Detention and Prison
An Excuse and Reason
A Period and Peason
Oxide and Oxygen
Nitrate and Nitrogen
The Lord God and Satan
David and Jonathan
The Sweet and The Sour
A Grave and it's Flower

Good imagination
Beats intimidation....

Pretty soon
It will be pretty June
The city comes alive
With blooming blasting tunes
Gangster goons
And their lovely lady loons
Stirring violence 
Under the lunatic summer moon
Downtown pedestrian platoons
Hitting the nightclub saloons
Backrooms and thick exotic perfume
I can see everything
Without even leaving my room
In the evening clouded by medicinal fumes 
Hop skipping across giant
Floating nitrous oxide balloons...
