The casualties of everyday life

Batten 

Beaten 

Battered 

Buttered

Chapped & Battered

Mis en scene

  Parlez vous 

Je voudrais aller 

S'il vous plait

C'est vrais

Come say 

Some say

Okay

Others are just overdue 

for a change

Steady 

as she 

           goes

Lightning listens

to upright golf clubs 

         and bitch trees

     shaddap already!

you're burning my skin

     like a 30 watt bulb 

illuminates

  tired old women

and dogs made of linoleum

Ruff!  Grrrr rowr 

  report to ACC

violent animal unleashed 

lightning in the living room

  Tore a hole in the radiator

     electrified the bathtub 

  poor old granny

 

 

 

 Boisterous 

ironclad 

punitive

Words words words

The shake 

and the rattle

filthy carpets 

marijuana smoke

clack clack clack

I'm a GOD

how dare you not worship me?

Lol

Hearts or Gin Rummy?

It's not today

breathing like a Dragon

atop a mountain of jewels 

 meaningless

nothingness

SOMETHING

hah 

"Badges?"

The Headlands await

Sunny Sunday 

Trees weeds water birds 

 

 

 

 Balls burn

See the hosing 

Henry Miller and

Big Sur

Kerouac didn't show up

He remained in Ferlinghetti's cabin alone 

drinking 

La dee da

La dee da

 He asked me why

"Another day in lonely times 

each day he left his older god behind"

Bzzzzzzzzrrrrr

He asked me why 

Why should I ?

 Flecks 

of spittle

In sandstorm dreams

Morocco meters 

Take Bimbo

Biscuits

Grown men wear dress like things

and yell at Christians 

"GO YOUR OWN WAY, DON'T TAKE MY ADVICE"

Flecks and spittle

standing in the street

you drink mint tea and majoun

Kif all night long

while the dogs bark

and no one takes out the garbage

 I got 

sidewalked 

sidestepped

sidewinded

  I sinned and 

I sined

and cosined 

   in calculator relationship blues

   I played G harmonica 

on the wrong key song

I sang out of tune

I marked your face

With Harold's purple crayon

and drew a giant lizard

How you doin'?

 

 

 

 Sleeping 

Like a like 

That's dumb

What else ya got

Nuthin

Sleep and coffee

And getting ripped off the gubmint

Nuttin new mofo!

Breakfast cereal

And dread

Lots of dread

And anxiety
