Egalite 

sovering 

Swear 

eyelids

in 

coveralls

and 

mud

  covered 

feet

   hungry

    for a

 Chicken 

foot 

  like 

     Flintlocks 

   and nothing

  To see here

   just be quiet

    and 

     Tend those

     Bygones

  Or 

 Don't

    But life is 

     a joke

  With lots of 

Punch lines

   Nothing to cry about here

   Just laugh

   Laugh

    and wash your mouth out here

You don't have to tell me

What you been up to

Mr Policeman

 Echoes of 

Naughty bits

Toes aligned

Teeth bucked

Eyes sworn

Sleeping the Hutterite Earth

Sadness

Listless non decorative

Where's the fucking joy

Is this what Jesus was all about

Wearing the same clothes

Working working working

Did Jesus sing

He drank wine

Did he fuck

Who did gods son fuck?

No Jesus baby mama 

Hmm

 

 A casual Hail Mary 

a casual embrace 

with starfish eyes 

And rouge

eyeliner and

a casual nod

To the casual hook 

and sinker

breakfasting on chum

  and Super Dupers

the casual sterno jar

Cooking a frying pan

of brown trout thoughts 

A casual brown stare

and Assiniboine fatigues

In Adirondacks, Appalachian, Archaeological(?)

leather boots and scarf

 

 I hate everybody 

and everybody hates me

So we have some parity

That's good 

Now

Die 

Or at least oh my brain

Is fucked

Yeah there's no escape

except through the pit of fingers

The eyes of Mars

The tranopticon cerebellum 

the starving donkey

 Overweight

and tattooed

Eating at Culver's 

The rain came down

and washed as

sin

Piled up 

Traffic stops

and robo cat litter boxes

 Caco-Phones

Blistering barnacles!

I don't like strangers talking loud in my ear (grumpy

old man)

The city is coming back and it's shithead galore

"I went to school at Duke"

Whatcha study how to be a fuckhead?

Oh angry 

Pissed off 

Hating Modern times

Gotta get off this tundra

 

 

 grievances and saltpeter seance

Soaked your twisted body

Take out the trash

all the cans and boxes 

The garbage stinks

Lesbian housemate never takes it out 

Smokes pot

drinks Jack Daniel's

Snorts yeyo

I wish I were 

But I'm too old

To do that shit

Cest la vie

Je voudrais 

Aller

 Smooch moves

C-tax

XLax

flights to your buried dreams

Non stop

 

 

 $

 $$

)))))

&&

 Forged to aluminum?

Instead

Your place

    Too many say

  Why 

Why not?

Streets

Of 

Loneliness

  Bitter

      and lost

Stupid and lost

Lost and dumb

Shut up

Oops

 I was King Worrier

I ruled the fields in local taverns

Ravens avoided me assiduously 

I wrote worthless poems

I drove a 2013 Hapsberger

my bank account emptied 

My wife left me

my children didn't accept my new girlfriend 

my bartender wouldn't serve me

It was as it should be

and the world was tired

 I trained for Death

I breathed

And washed 

Wore boring clothes

old comfortable sneakers

I talked no one

and laughed at nothing
