Zapping your xylophone
While viewing unhappiness
The still reverberating quietus
Pounds on my limbo.
Kings jump in high garters
Feathered elands dive
Catching beautiful aardvarks....

Sitting in traffic on my cell phone
Thought perhaps I might be accident-prone
Got softly run over
Minor injuries to my rover
Now just sit here playing on my xylophone...

Your sad face silently entices,     
standing alone in the darkness.  
  
You beg for my touch like a lover  
but I hit you instead with a hammer.   

Yet my cruelty can’t stop your thrill  
as you scream with a happy shrill....

A lock of hair
  A torn shoe string
A rocking chair
  A wedding ring

A dial phone
  A worn headband
A xylophone
  An old night stand

A broken piece, a little bit
  of what has passed
No longer fits
  ~ Their memories last...

You build me
in longed xylophone.
I am beat skipping in your veins,
but what poison
to know the name,
the hills I seek.
So coy dancer,
distantly waking overground,
playing pleasure folds
to cheeks.
Bent ears,
shine and I will seek....

spring’s end
my infant fingers
the fallen petal
 
xylophone
my child names
the colours
 
garden sprinkler –
my infant
steps with the flow
 
cut off kite
the sound of my child
fading with it
 
beach sunset the lightness of my child at a distance...

Veronica and I, share the same brave dream
With Veronica snared, we made a great team
Xylophone extraordinaires, the world had never seen
Yikes folks, I ate swords or flares that burnt and bent my teeth
Zoo turned me into a circus freak, I long for the long grass of home....

A Baboon Cleans Dandruff 
Entirely From Gigantic 
Hairy Iguana Just Kicked Low 
Monkey Never Opened Pants 
Quickly Runs Sighting Trunks 
Under Vest Wearing 
Xylophone Yelling Zebra.

My gawd, this one is stupid....

a strange awakening
bathed the brain
fogged the eyes of night
remnants of dreams
unshakeable
looming still
with dawns new light
feet on the ground
grog wears off
carbon pops 
xylophone tickle up the spine
still this dream
a taunting tease
pleads definition
I know not why...

Now that we've solved the mystery 
     of dotting the i and crossing the t

   Whatever happened to dotting the j
     and crossing the f -- frankly

   And as long as we've come this far
     here's a 'hardy-har-har:'

     If x is for xylophone
     and z is for zoo
   Then ILY still says I Love You...

Status of impersonation is changed;
Have made a prayerful personality out from a slave,
Now given up on weed smoking, 
Every soul is testifying about the love he's showing, 
Zealously singing and playing xylophone to broken hearts, 
He's no more perishing, 
Yes,that person is a new being.
Today is really ruling as king....

LAUGHING SKULL

my arms have breached the white walls
of laughing skull.

i have feasted upon their thoughts
today my plate is empty.

the butler of my brain is tired
but continues to serve a feast.

bleached ribs a xylophone 
playing macabre notes.

as my tongue dances inside
the empty hall of my mouth.

Wilson and Broadway at 4 a.m.

Chicago

Sunday evening. Drunk
and strolling home.

On the way an hour now,
block after block,

bar to bar.
Weekend’s gone,

Monday’s turning.
Along the way

his swollen fingers find
parking meter posts

are an endless xylophone.
Plunked, they play

the anthem
of a life misspent.

Xyloid small ship sets course
                     xylograghs mark the hull
             xanthic sails fill and shape
             xenops birds are a’flight 
                   xiphias fish swim seas
                        xenial sailors sing
                 xylophone sounds soothe souls. 


















A Pleaides Poem

i made that glint
that caught your eye
hooked finger pulling lid too far
feel that boney shiver
xylophone your spine
seconds sound so much louder
in the quiet time
Uneasy dark tries to accept decline
the unknow squeaks so appealing
no line between the fear and the scare
Can't avoid me
i'm pulling you from within
darkness scurries from me trying to reach the dim...

Soft mallets play the xylophone
In comes the low note g on trombone
Two hard mallets add their sound
There's no dry bones around

Soon the sound of a low bassoon
Bongo drum adds its tune
Wind blowing the harsh melody around
Orchestra pitch now the sound

All this floating to the ground
Soon  the only thing to be heard
Loud bassoon making its words
Quiet, quite still; one lone note
Bass drum----boom...

For real in keeping it real.
Ornery man in the political arena -
Xylophone players of classical music support is essential.
Trumping it to be the next in the Oval Office.
Rococo effect you strive for.
Ordinary people are against your representation.
Trump, Donald will be the succeeding President?

Airplane take off
Banging hammer
Crickets
Dog snoring
Engine rev
Faucet drip
Gargling
Heartbeat through a stethoscope
Ice calving from a glacier
Jumping rope
Knock on a door
Laughter
Metronome
Nutcracker cracking nuts
One hand clapping
Panpipe
Quack of a duck
River's flow
Sneezing
Typewriter tapping
Ululating widows
Vacuum cleaner cleaning
Whistling
Xylophone

Xanadu may exude such percussive bliss
Youthful romps and a coy stolen kiss
Lightly tapping in jaunty melifulous splendor
Orpheus muse prances playfully tender
Pounding with swift light jazzy flourishes
Heart and soul the xylophone nourishes
Oblivious to troubles I cannot stop my feet
Notions of love brightly swing to the beat
Each crisply chimed note a gift beyond sweet...
