Aroused me.
I was helpless 
Looking
To find a 
An unexposed seat
To sit down....

When one 
Is angry 
And asks for 
Understanding 
One says:

MY surrealism
is my sanity
Normality is
that disease
suffocating 
expression &
artistic freedom!

My life went off 
In a blast 
.... Of a drop 
.... Of ink 
Eileen looked 
At the Blast 
With a smile 
As if, she discovered a nebula 
In the sky....

I, as paper man
in paper town, 
grey, saw 
a cardboard cut-out
of a mirror, 
the reflection
was a busy world 
it didn't look real, 
those colours
and restaurants

Words are eating commas,
Phrases are eating the page
Pages are eating  the parallel space
The end of Quantum Mechanic
Is reaching its absurdity
its maximum entropy
It is cold
I have to burn my journal....

Multi talented American Man Ray
with Dada&Surrealism had much to say
His famous jointed mannequin*
was perhaps not the place to begin

OUR WORDS STACKED AS SKYSCRAPERS

THE world is committed to insanity;
   our words stacked as skyscrapers
 allow ants characters to escape
flooding water
         as drowned bodies float
past the windows of office space.

Heart's throbbing for discothèque
airwaves,
pulsating electronica polyphonics--
rolling;
waterless waves splash
everyone present. 
Motionless reminiscence of Ibiza
and surrealism, triple-distilled,
aesthetic kinetics--
and men and women sweating from the vibes....

i met a poet  just today
he greeted me  with much

laughter   as foreplay

(we seized each other 
from brim to toe)

one cried  the other sang
 a hymn

and at the end  we shook
 our head   contemplating 

which the queerer
and stepped away 
from our mirror.

his hunter’s heart leapt a bit
expectations were tremendously high
perhaps because of the twilight sun
there was a surrealism about it
a silent night in a forest of secrets
for what am I waiting? He wondered or for whom?
barely breathing as a gorgeous ten point buck stepped into the clearing...

being watched
by eyes over there
over there
where the eyes are not

their ethereal glare
nefarious
unseen, ready
like puckered lips

this eyeless wraith
with lidless eyes
nowhere, peering
beyond their death

there are eyes staring
that are not there
these shapeless orbs
surrounding

Misshapen flimsy mass
Rubbage under foot
Wet with spittle and DNA
Morphing into a Dali
Time melting away
Family needs more
Rubbage on the floor
Unmoving joints staring eyes
Hollow unfelt emotions
Sweep over like a helium balloon
Surrealism opens the chest of me
Deflated spirit; deflated balloon...

NaPoWriMo
NaPoWriMo Day4
Adveristy
Shorts

Termination inbound on the day
Ruminating over the cause
Sudden pain caused by fellowship

Heartstrings hand-plucked, wrought with strife
You take a bow, adversity on your fingertip
Perfectionist performance, chimerical display....

CNN: 
Three minutes 
Focus on home security, 
Iraq war, 
Who is con? 
Who is pro? 
The tolerance is absurd, 
New Orleans is sinking, 
Another commercial. 
I pulled out the electrical wire 
I took the TV set 
Out. 
I reserved the whole day 
For my garage sale. 
I will content 
With Fifty dollars 
Return...

wave wave wave 
a mouth an ocean
tongue slobbering like a big slobbery dog
licking my face
wave wave wave
zave mave jave
licking my face an ocean wave
mouth of the boisterous dog
vave kave bave
wave wave wave
I drown near too near
but by the dog save
and to the shore gave
or the mouth my grave
wave wave wave
