 Sleeping

    Big Max
   With Large Beverage
   Liter 
Of Root Beer
   (No Caffeine)
   Rows and rows
Of mildewed burgers
  Thousands waiting 
To be devoured
  et tu 
  Ides of Wendy's?
  the Rubicon SUV
  just smashed an
idea of 
 freedom 
One if by land 
 Dream
a
potent 
   miasma
   of succubus 
 Shithead
    threatens  
 lasagna
    In north
    Jersey
     While 
  fingering
   his diapered
       Gob
Hole
 the rocks were
     Attuned
    to the rain of impermanence 
(Rain of impermanence?)
    Rain of impertinence!
Also rocks aren't attuned to anything
People like rocks are attuned to some things
I am a rock
 I am an Archie comic
Yo Jughead!
  Let's go the malt shoppe
 See if Veronica and Betty are there

 Celestial
prevac
    mimed the origin
     of the fellatio
       driven
It wasn't pretty
  Afterwards he stopped at Wendy's
    but was confused by
the "Surge Pricing"
  So he went across Frontier Road
  to a Taco Bell/KFC

 Creature
    of the dream machine
       In a white ambrosia something or other
         studying stenography
          in the Santa Ynez mountains
           with a copy of Dharma Bums
             under her pillow
               watching Treasure of Sierra Madre
                  with Walter Huston
                      and HB
 I'm no
genius
   But 
    JFC
   Help me 
Jeebus
 the mooment 
of 
   Persipascity?
   perscipacity?
What is that word?
Perspicacity!
the quality of having a ready insight into things; shrewdness.
"the perspicacity of her remarks"

Then Zingers!
Ba boom
  Her perspicacity 
   Was second
     To her bosom. 

 If Rabelais

  were here
  What would I do?
Who is Rabelais?
   Why do I know his name?
  What did he do?
  Writer?
Philosopher?
I honestly do not know.
That's all for this poem.
 Thank you for attending.

"His book is a riddle which may be considered inexplicable. Where it is bad, it is beyond the worst; it has the charm of the rabble; where it is good it is excellent and exquisite; it may be the daintiest of dishes." 

 I used to go to bars

and hang out for hours
I'd talk to anyone who wanted to talk
I'd play pool- sometimes I was pretty good
sometimes I felt guilty about beating people
But sometimes they deserved a good ass whomping
There was one kid 
I forget his name 
He was tall and looked kind of screw loose
I could tell he REALLY wanted to beat me
You can tell , guys seems wound up 
their body language is all
FUCK THIS GUY!
usually at that point I could care less about winning
so I'd win more
But this guy
Well I didn't really care but
the more we played the more I wanted to shut him down
I can be kind of an asshole at times
but not all the time
As I was going to do a long shot for the eight ball to win
he leaned over and whispered in my ear
"You're an asshole"
Totally a dick move
I turned and looked at him. I was still set up to shoot and
I said  "You're just figuring that out now?" 
and I slammed the eight ball in.
"NEXT!"

 The Hunan Pork

     I love that lady
that works there
    she is so nice!
   the way she smiles
   is so real she's happy
lights up my day
I love her
 the Hunan Pork though
was only pretty good
  the veggies were practically raw
which sometimes is fine
  but eggplant?!
Eggplant should be mushy!
Just sayin

 the hangover wars
     were ongoing
          battle lines drawn
         in imaginary
       trenches
          hundreds of cans 
     of air freshener
    reaching for the sky
       the troops are permanent
        
 Please
   counter-centric
       effusional
      bio-rhythm 
     interpreted
         In Spanish
     like a heater on
               or a window opened
      a stack of torn 
"Evidence" 
 8.5 x 11's
   with poorly executed
       b&w photos
      of toothpaste tubes
    and empty toilet rolls

 there weren't no Rommels
     in my grade school
       just snow 
    and bricks
    I had a bunch of kids
    in school with me
    some were nice, some were, well-
 one kid would pinch your neck
   But mostly nice
Oyster River Elementary 
  1966
    

 The binary reputation

    was not a walrus
in Svalbard
   What is ice?
  It's a blade
  with no one's name
    the sky knows you though
Oh you again?
    but the wind 
works at 
   a Southern Fried Chicken 
stand
   near Gators Bend 
Alabama 
  (special today- okra and red beans)
Your hair is blonde
   and you have two black eyes
   from the looks of you
 you blah blah blah
too much
     I'm
Just sayin
   You've got a 
path forward
   it's no great 
 something or other
   But you're doing it again
  let it go
Easier done than said

 too many

    too manys 
the man who disparaged soundly the ex wife of a multi -billionaire
who is giving away a billion dollars to charities
(To help people) 
is suing a former co- worker because blah blah blah
He is a Marvel villain
  Doc Ock
 Or a Bond villain 
   SMERSH
even his name sounds 
like a Bond villain
 He has his own space company
Has hundreds of satellites
providing internet linkage 
   and he does psycho-active drugs
which worry his corporations 
  

 Something 

so lost 
It looks for Doobie Bros
   t shirts online

 Sleep 
 
   the Kerouac
     train
       of days
     slide
        like a fly
                                in the screen 
      outside 
    Mr. 
     play
      the stoned
      wash 
      of 
       the City
   Bye the bay
           you're washed up 
         even your ma
      won't talk to you
                    but you don't care
         the words are 
      in your back pocket
                         next to twelve cents

 I got drunk

      drunk as a white night
    In a black scene
   of Jean Genet
     "Oh jail is no home "
     the pigeons are not without
     the sidewalk 
   Keep your eyes 
    on the next scene
   but France could give 
  a shit
   (mirror)
  Cendrars wrote
    to himself
   a thousand miles
and thousand train tracks-
  try living in Napoli 
   during the war
    He said
    You'll get robbed
    after riding a hovercraft ferry
    from Anacapri
But it doesn't matter- Tiberius
 Mattered 
or Tycho Brahe
  
 Sleepy
    head 
    drug 
     brain
     Ptsd 
       from 
     Bs 
     trauma
     bs
   " I'm too sensitive"
"I need a change"
"What's wrong with me"
       Rain drops say
       let it go
      into the 
Far far 
 away
     giant drain
  that is 
               existence 
or something
        let it go
