Vincent Procopio Poem
I’ll one day plant
An herb garden
Just for you
The various herbs
You may feel
Overwhelmed by, at first
Though do not fret…
As the herbs mean
No harm, of course
Why do herbs exist?
Why are they so comforting…
So flavorful?
The answers you seek, I’m afraid
Will continue to elude you…
I’m sorry.
Take no offense, kind individual…
The herbs wish you well
And love you
Vincent Procopio

Vincent Procopio Poem
Smells like power
But tastes like chicken
Administrative duties
Make my pulse quicken
Repression wears a tie
Arrogance sports hose
Make Bossy smile
That’s how the garden grows
Timeclock sphincter
Clamped down tight
Constipation of thought
Absence of light
Artistic fire snuffed
Sculptor’s hand inert
Bottom line worship
Trade the smock for the shirt
Corporate aorta
Chocked with fat pride
With toad-lust for power
Freedom must collide

Vincent Procopio Poem
Nervous Purvis, why so quirky?
I’m losin’ my hair and the future’s lookin’ murky
Nervous Purvis, why the twisted scowl?
No woody here, just a slim little dowel
Nervous Purvis, why can’t you score?
I’m wearin’ silly drawers and I eat off the floor
Nervous Purvis, why blame it on the Man?
Cuz he’s real bossy and kicks me in the can
Nervous Purvis, why the dirty pants?
I wore ‘em to bed while reading Judith Krantz
Nervous Purvis, why not make a change?
Cuz I like sittin’ pretty and scratchin’ my mange
Nervous Purvis, you could be so much!
Like paying for meals and housing and such?
Nervous Purvis, why the dirty nails?
Been slurpin’ on felch and fillin’ diaper pails
Nervous Purvis, you’ll never fit in!
On with ya, donkus, and wipe off your chin!

Vincent Procopio Poem
Dirty scowling crone
Old as the wind
Tear-stained cheeks
Sadness of knowing
Shuffling quietly
Through twisted shadows
She is darker than night
Darker than you
Stony chill of her breath
Whistling across
Withered yellow lips
The foulest of crypts
Hating eyes
Hating you
Earthen pits of decay
Windows to oblivion
Embracing you…
Twitching, dying bats
Scurrying, gnawing rats
Screaming, slicing cats
Don’t look
Don’t watch
Don’t see
Don’t know
Ever

Vincent Procopio Poem
Ahh yes, our friend of course, the Pancake
Fluffy and accommodating
A stack of love for you and me
Ffffff..flip it! Yeah!
I pour you on a hot griddle
A light-brown face
Of total acceptance
Yes, of course, I’ll have another
Please love me
Like I love you
Your varied shapes
I gobble up, always grateful
A friend with a riddle
A friend on the griddle
I’ll never forget you
Our friend… the Pancake

Vincent Procopio Poem
Poultry farm chaos
Chicken-lickin’ you
Sweet and sour future
Henhouse flurry
Henpecked and handpacked
Epistle of gristle
Cellophane stiffy
Wishbone hope?

Vincent Procopio Poem
Stinking, dirty money
Foul, festering money
Putrid, gassy money
Rotten, disgusting money
Oppressing, cruel money
Castigating, merciless money
Admonishing, finger-wagging money
Subjugating, stone-faced money
Aah, money…
That your kiss is so sweet,
Your embrace so sensuous,
Your possibilities so tempting…
I am dirty with your scent

Vincent Procopio Poem
Chocolate Sass-Mouth
Spacklefudge grinny
Sloppin’ down my chinny
In it to winny!
Chocolate Sass-Mouth
Butternut cream
Smeary goo team
Gurgly dream
Chocolate Sass-Mouth
Spittin’ out sass
Unburdened by class
Dirty hall pass
Chocolate Sass-Mouth
Twisted face covered
Misty-place lover
Never recovered
More chocky please

Vincent Procopio Poem
crawling biting lacerating
sniffing, chewing
tunneling through
damp, waxy tunnel
ahh, sweet white brain
awaits…
gulping orange wax
swimming, striving
wait, I’m stuck!
what is this obstruction?
a strange, tough membrane…
elastic and taut
yes, of course, it’s the eardrum
foiler of earwigs
gotta punch through
snip tear poke rip slice
barely squeezing through
billowy elastic
syrupy warm fluid
slowing me down
sniffing pinching testing
struggling driving thrusting
ahh, finally…
the glistening white membrane
whoa, it’s slippery!
So plump, so electric!
white cheesy wonderland
viscous holiday
millions of neurons
Storing thoughts and feelings
master control center
the very essence of consciousness
right under
my brown, scaly legs
my prickly feet skittering
across the pulsing ridges
I believe I’ll deposit
Some filth…
