The Chucko Children
roller derby brains passing into the steel mainspring
if we eat these slivers of veal paradox and watercress
the chucko children will slip beyond the sly pastures
they will forever traverse the bone rub badlands
the golden hard-on matinees, the grinding piano teeth
tearing it up, absorbing the pretenses, the stoney soufflés
the moulin rouge’ side glances dripping from the stars
now it’s clinging to your skin like jellyfish regurgitations
the simplex television people rattle chains during halftime
roller derby brains passing through the perforations
the backwash inseminations from a thousand lost nights
the dusty facades of made-up motel girls smoking fear sticks
hey you, yeah you, i got ten bucks in my pocket all for you
maybe you and me can test the winds and apply the dance
we can slip beyond the sly pastures, the stoney soufflés
the war still rages, even as the comatose night sleeps on
We can hear the chucko children tearing it up grinding it out,
bringing it on, again and again inside the steel mainspring

Lost my appetite for life
A simplex you call depression
All breathe to ride for what?
A rage of hormone induced default
Exposing lies much grander than the skies
Unnatural, all just a fallacy
Nothing can be done
Hanging on a nightmare
Eyes open, lies exposed
All stitching leaves more scars
All exposed, will you call me crazy?
Watch me

TEST RUN--
Simplex is simple
Simple is divided
Chosen is the dimples
On my face one sided
Wash those complexities
With soap and water
Ring around the collar…
Soaked with life’s redundancies
Hard is complex
Harder is a test
Chosen by processes
We are chances witness

OXY-GUYS
Oxydimwits believe in lovers slimming with diet cheeseburgers
Oxybuffoons ask in the supermarket for water lite for their girlfriend
Oxyfools are cowboys riding after a herd of mavericks to prove their love
Oxyidiots believe that if we’re drunk we don’t need condoms.
Oxycretins think their girl-friend will say – ok just wipe your nose on your sleeve
Oxymorons think that the marriage is null-and-void if the shotguns were not loaded
Boxymorons are morons with rather squat shapes to love like Naomi Campbell
Foxymorons have rather sexy shapes like Barry White
Moxymorons are very brave morons willing to have a reunion party of all hubby’s ex-lovers
Poxymorons are diseased morons, with Herpes Simplex, or even Herpes Duplex
Soxymorons are Boston baseball fan morons judging a man by the size of his bat

Anorexia, weight loss, fever
Frail frame of weakness shiver
With collapse of castle of immunity
Opportunistic infections eager
TO prey on the victim
Whose eyes in deep socket gleam
Kaposis Sarcoma, trauma, coma
Human Immuno Virus' melodrama
Call it the battle in the bloodstream
Plethora of symptoms ranging from
Candidiasis to Herpes simplex
Which render the phenomenon complex
Elisa Western blot and CD4 Count
Diagnosis extorts substantial amount
AIDS Patients deserve top priority in
medicare for their suffering and agony are rarest rare
Posterity will not forgive us
If in handling AIDS we sound frivolous
