mr. parker - original poem

mr. parker

reversing black

mold-spored putrefaction

with a stark laser beam

pointed bull's eye center

of a harden black sphere

taken hostage

by the kinights

of dark fungal fortitudes

let thy waveforms pulse

and push out all the mold milk

and white claws of citrus goo

turn the fruit of eternity

into a slime mold of death

start it back over again

with the power of sight

and the bombardment of rays

from my decommissioned arm

of the cycloped cyclotron

quite a marvelous

magnificient

transformation

metaphorized

beneath your

thick rimmed eyes

isn't that right

mr. parker?

clown house at the carnival - original poem

 

clown house at the carnival

clown house lights

are lighting up

one by one

I can see them

past the metal beams

and swirling, beeping lights

carnival crowded games

and the bumper car

lobby line tube lights

and the zero gravity machine

I'm stuck to the walls

fixing my eyes 

on the neon lights

illuminating one by one

which clowns will try

to touch my body

which ones will make me

honk their nose

and laugh at their own shitty

alcohol washed jokes

i refuse to wipe the tears

through your streaking

paint designed 

makeup face

the show must go on

and I can't wait 

you're going to get fired tonight 

the job markets in the dumps

interviewers will notice

your shaking hands in the morning

and your twitching muscles

you wasted

comedic punch line

erased

with pink gum

pineapple lillies - original poem

pineapple lilies

wait look -

those are docile

pineapple lilies

napping in the golden noon

on the coastline of Alohan sands

snoring on the bedrock

atop little lily pads

nearly ripened fruits

beginning to bud and sprout

be cautious

lest our motions not disturb them

we mustn't wake them

from their daydreamy séance

in this Egyptian silica ball pit

let's let the kiddos rest a bit

we'll break at the next leg of our hike

by the pointed purple pillars

where Pythagoras's status

astutely watches out

over the bay of sardonic tears

dropped from the lacrimal pits

in Heaven's gated fence

where the community watch

is always on alert

campfire story [cropsey] - original poem

campfire story [cropsey]

in a fire pit

camp out

we recollect

and dictate

our stories

of camp blackfoot

burnt to ashes

nothing left

but the ruins

where once

everyone hated cropsey

an evil bastard

caretaker 

he was a drunk

two bottles a day

whiskey his choice

most days 

spending his time

up in space

but if he ever

caught you

look out!

he could 

strip the lead paint

from the walls

solely by breath

a sadist

generating real pleasure

from hurting people

scaring them

his garden shears

long thin blades

and demonic stare

was enough

to make any man's life

living hell

yet hell breeds chaos

fire and hate

he crisped and cried

for his return

paid his dues

in an institute

he survived

by eating 

his hunts alive

but now he's out there

watching, waiting

don't look!

he'll see you

don't move!

he'll hear you

don't breathe!

you're dead!

somy - original poem

 

somy

if Christianity is disomy

and Satanism is trisomy

then quantum mechanics

makes quadsomy

how many somys

does it take

to get to the

hard candy-coated center

of human consciousness

collected?
