Where opinions have a distinct aroma.
Kneeling in the brackish dirt,
man discovers his true worth -
or when pushed to draw the purple curtain,
he may recall his worst

Those that fought the mighty lark
In the bleak and quiët dark
Would see it succumbt, embarkt, and markt with
This lone poëtic spark.

Pluto ran down to the shore
Chasing black birds ever more
That beguiling smiling face he wore at
Took ravens by the score

Remember to be precise;
not lull soft nothings or gripe;
be interesting, not trite or shite tongued
and simply be polite

Should the lie be justified,
or the liar ostracized -
perhaps the lips, vilified - denied words
far better crucified?

The public pitied the swan
that swished with the mastodon,
for the beast had bid the blond to don a
long sarong of cretonne.

The long sarong of cretonne
became, at the waist, undone
perhaps it had been tied wrong, too long for
a cretonne sarong.

Best wishes for the season
in which all good is reasoned
to pronounce new ease on cohesion's old
wishes left to season

Gone with the last of the wine,
he stomped past skin of my vine,
hurdled the wall I designed to hold him
next in my endless line.

curly hair. one strays in meal.

"A Case of You" in my glass,
I glean what's come of this pass:
Snaked 'm while I's shakin' ass! This lass is
too embarrassed for class.

I wonder if I'm dreaming
when I float on the ceiling,
or if I'm merely reeling, seeming drunk:
constant nonsense streaming.

i listen and so i hear
his heart, the voice warm and clear
our beloved alien, near, alive: drop
the needle, and a tear

every day I meet and kiss
and hug some hate. spit and hiss.
the past has days stuffed with bliss-rich eve'nings.
now... life equals abyss
