Anything Goes

Perhaps he's crackers
to embrace glitz
(to paraphrase Irving Berlin)
'Putin on the Ritz'
tho'
'Sometimes something is better than nothing'
went the writing on the wall
yet
'Too much of nothing'
(wrote the Zimmerman)
is really no good at all
and
'Everything comes to those who wait'
an optimist put in prose
but
Cole Porter said it best
when he wrote, 'Anything Goes'

Robert Zimmerman
American Poet



Heard the tambourine man play today
as I was knockin’ on heaven’s door.
Like a rolling stone she could not stay.
Her boots of spanish leather made me sore.

I was knockin’ on heaven’s door,
old mighty Quinn had much to say.
Her boots of Spanish leather made me sure,
That like a rollin’ stone, she could not stay.


Old mighty

MR ZIMMERMAN

Oh to have that luminescence 
Fathered by the incandescence 
Flaring in to effervescence
When you're up on stage.

George Zimmerman

A gun pointed at George Zimmerman
Karma has reigned an connected a Chain of Deaths Certificate 
The Gun loaded with a Extended Clip in it
I wonder should I finish him
He sees Trayvon in the Flesh
is it him or the Angel of Death?
He falls to his Chest
an the closing walls of his Breath
but he doesn't know

A Portrait of George Zimmerman

A Portrait of George Zimmerman

By Elton Camp

It was the meeting room of the local KKK
Genii, Hydras, Titans, Furies present that day
The Grand Cyclops was to direct the meet
So he had already donned his white sheet

A Confederate battle flag was on display
A sign declared, “God bless James Earl Ray” 
A picture of robed men and flaming

For Robert Zimmerman

For Bob Dylan

sheltered from the howling winds of vows and scattered souls and sweltering hate

she is a refuge from the blistering sands of dread and loss and torn and twisted fate

when the emptiness inside becomes an abyss so dark and wild and cold

my words get lost in the jangling alleys where dreams are bought and

George Zimmerman

Hello, son.
You're a big one.
Lucky for you you inherited somebody's genes
That gave you light skin
That made you get away with murder.

May your day of jubilee
be all you want it to be.

Ode To Mr. Zimmerman

Carrying a note wasn’t his bag
When he sang his voice would sort of drag
For his America he waved a flag 
Robert Zimmerman was his name
Poetic ballads were his burning flame 
Where others said can’t, he said can
He called us friend 
And spoke of the wind
I think him a giant he’s only a man

Reading his words
