Short Simian Poems

Moon is simian
                                      I have checked his evolution
                                    He just jumped behind Mc loud...

Sully* was back in the saddle 
up the creek without a paddle 
Meenie stole his hat
followed a stout rat
With cookies his hands did meddle








Sully* is Sullivan my pet simian ghost
Meenie is my cat
Both are naughty...

The beer cans are almost esoteric
Banging down the trash shaft

As boots slide over dog`s pavements;
Tunnels clatter with horseshoes

And piss, an estate with no state;
A simian face against a growler;

I`m sorry for the sorry, skins,
But my stomach turns with Angst....

Cacophony of chaos
Screeching through the night
A barrel-full of simian rage

Nearly human primate hands
Smash, throw, rend and tear 
Destroying at random

The mark of primitive destruction
Stamped on every shard and scrap
A monkey nightmare
Spilling over into reality

A trace of humanity
Perhaps?...

Meenie was clamoring against higher prices of milk
                         My Sullivan hit a clinker he was not of that ilk
                                        Sullivan screeched a lot
                                        My Meenie shot her bolt
                        And both in revolt ate turnips artichokes and silk




Meenie= my pet female cat
Sullivan=my pet simian ghost...

tap dance temple dancers 
tease a mocha monkey
swinging from a tower
munching chips gets chunky

simian sisters see 
spunky the funky ape
chewing the ruby red
sweetest juiciest grape

roosters roosting singing
songs to a silent Somme 
hens roost on silver silk
poke-a-dot eggs neath mom

charmer the hooded snake
swings around crowds at night
pops from a basket brown
hemp woven strong and tight...

Deep inside
there was a simian jealousy.
The opaque words will raise
a burnt-out storm –
returning the whole family
of white flowers to the moon.

The falling
inside the bowl
before the snake could strike
interrupting the dead soldiers
of unknown war-
weapon-free.

A stunning invasion
of the spoons in summer months,
when sweat was expensive than
truth and a sentence
was lost between the punctuations.

Yet I was going to recite a poem.

Half Past Ape!

A hominid has broken off the zoo,
It is quaffing fetid water in the loo!
When drunk with the frothy gulp
It'll pummel own wife to near pulp!

The Zoo has freed a freaking Ape
To the detriment of sexes with rape,
Just as the young fall to tantrums
Or a frenzied simian beating drums!

There's still a primitive part in us
That strongly resist to board a bus!
It haunts most when we're cruel;
Robbing another of mirth an' gruel!

Some wise-man expounded that a knife and a fork
Seperate men from their simian ancestors
I'm not so sure
Certain people should show
Their true colors
And cram the food straight
Into their face
Ram the grub right 
Down their throats
Fingers and all
Grunting
Flatulating
Staring ahead blankly
Streaming grease begins swinging
From a cinderblock chin
Thus soiling their near perfect
Tuxedo
Opposing appendages are great
For ripping flesh from the bone
And fastening bow ties...
