 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
