The thing is 

Once you're dead 

You won't know any of it!

 No more worries about

 Cheer up! 

For no one cares! 

  It's all on you. Make it or break it. 

   Live! And fuck all that bullshit

  And those bullshit people who hate 

  And suck.

Yeah you!

 Keep on truckin'

  Hippie poster stolen and sold

  To junior high kids

 The artist got nuthin'

Keep on fuckin' people over

Make a buck suckers!

 Snuffed

Like a polyester peach

    Riding on an airplane to Madison WI

 the sky is blue

 Sometimes whole days disappeared 

Like a flower made of love

  It was pretty

 Don't forget to take your pills! Someone once said.

I can't remember who. Maybe it was me!

I say a lot of things though

 Ace Bandage was a detective. His hit tv series was long over.

 The clean pariah 

Moved a mountain of love

  That'll do! He said

 

 I'm a bummer. My sister stopped texting me. All I do is complain. My blood pressure. My eyes are fucked up. I quit drinking. My stupid housemates are assholes. Etc etc etc. I guess I should just get use to everything sucking and quit complaining like a baby. Waaah my health is fucked!

Go see someone she says. Get some meds. You were medicating with alcohol. She's right and there's more but I'm not going into that. 

Todd's dead. Orton's dead. Rene's dead. People my age and younger are dying or losing their memory. I think well I come from pretty good stock, everybody lives until their nineties I say ignoring my foibles. I could live another thirty years. Jesus what a nightmare!

 I'll start the frozen 

Tundra of your brain

He said and then reached the astronomers office

  

 Glucose isn't in the scene

Please pass the rigid flakes

  Too much! But

You'll forsake reality for

A death dream of heartaches

 A grievance of stone

Paraphrased by 

   A cyclical endowment

   Said the turtle 

 A peony of fire

Breached the commandants footstool

   A lectured nag scratched 

And the chalkboard was dusty

  And caused him to sneeze

  Abort your practicalities

In a life of uncertainties

   It said 

And he fingered a pack of cigarettes

And stared out the window

 There were no yesterdays 

In a bar of todays 

  A drink was waiting for him

    With a smile that said

Hey I've been waiting here

He spun the rainbow top 

And it landed 

On Sometimes Yes

Good enough he sat

And drank

 Roger Clemens could 

Suck it he thought

 The styled monkey

Kept to himself

   In a rainbow 

On Maui

   His horse was dead

   His accordion broken

   His apartment was a chopped down tree

He ordered a Mai tai

And kicked the pool water

 The non recalcitrant

  Line up daily

 For their porridge

   Of nuts and bolts

   And a bit of screw thy neighbor

 Bless the lord

Give him redemption

  For he (the Lord) has sinned.

So sayeth I and I and I

 Cream Soda has no cream.

Egg Creams no eggs or cream.

What the fuck is going on?

 I know nothing

    Ya see?

 Serendipity moved a mountain to 

    the finicky corner

    of the sea

 He's angry because he's not happy. If he was happy why would he be angry? Also he's an asshole.

 B&W makes the world so much more colorful.

 Travel on Pan Am is not possible.

 A clear conscience? What is that? Some kind of made up

story to soothe your conscience. 

I didn't do anything wrong! 

 That quesadilla was good.

 No beans or chicken in there.

Beans are overrated.

 Down the donkey

Eye- film

Pictures of my grand dad

 Greet the sea

    With frivolous wishes

And then the breakfast oops

 Choi sum

 $1.49 per lb.

    

 Pleased to forget

   The monied types

        In arms of the dead

      We watch for light

      And see the creased lips pout

  And smirk

 A Gertrude Stein

    Foghorn

   Embraced the sound

        So

Lithe 

   And careless

 I had remorse

 It was a sink shaped

    Stovepipe

  It commandeered

   A heartbeat 

   And was known 

    By another name

  Two Eddys

Or something similar

  I had misplaced it

 On a trip to Saturday's night 

Watchman 

 I know nothing about 

  You please don't tell me about 

  Greece

 The moon ate its shadow;

Tasted like fudge

 The potent arrogance 

Played a mighty hand 

Others were not impressed

 When I realized they were trying to

Put their hands in my pockets under the

Cardboard I threw them off

And an older man standing nearby said

"Hey, they're just kids!"

 In Rome outside

A train station I was 

Accosted by a group of children all

Different ages

Some put cardboard against my stomach

Others held my arms and stroked them complimenting

Me

 After the coats were stolen my 

Friends wouldn't talk to me

I had the heat on all the way

Home

 At a concert in late December I left

Our coats in the back seat because the

Trunk had greasy rags

 I also painted racing stripes 

  On the hood;

I thought it was a good joke

 I once had a car

  A 1963 Ford Fairlane w four doors

I painted a stencil of John Lennon screaming

 On the drivers door

 I have a headache every day 

Around four pm

   Maybe I'll call it 

Fourpy 

  Fourpy had a brother 

    Fowerpy

Don't ask

 Green is a nice color 

Unless it's your skin

 A deft stroke of

Pilloried pariahs,

Pusillanimous!

 Pray like a Praying Mantis

But be careful;

Don't let your lover eat

  Your head

 Grab the ghost! 

Get it and store it in this Popeyes box!

  

 A miracle happened on

   The fifth day of our lords 

  Week. 

 The fog of appendages

     Gathers like bits of potato chips

  On one's shirt 

If one is laying in bed 

 True story

 The bloom of old age 

A sedentary bifurcation

   Worried about blood

 And sugar

 And pressure

   And a bunch of other shit!

Fuck!

 Go Fig yeah

Go figyuh 

Figyah it out Ma!

Wicked sic (sic)

 Chatter

  Jasper

   The Rose

   Is gone

  

 I'm the poet of Cuckoo's Nest

  Brazil is a walnut!

   (Stolen)

 Green eyed lady 

Ocean lady

  Where have I heard that before?

Oh yeah 

K-TEL 20 Power Hits! 

  I still have the album 

It will survive me! 

Green eyed lady

Ocean lady!

 A cavern of cetaceous celebrants

   Morose figures in the mooselight 

Baying and broiling

   Timber and toil

  Plastic and aluminum foil!

 A pituitary gland 

     Secretes 

Please don't tell 

   Oh wait not 

Oh you get it

   But I don't 

  Never mind

     Off to the doctor!

 There's a broom in my mind

    Sweeping up the conked stones

     But lately left in the corner

   

Let it go

    Ahh the breaks

  The breakdowns

      On the rocky road

 Let it sparkle in the wind

   Let the sun shine

Just put a flat rock under the front wheels 

 And you'll pop right out

 

 The haiku hitched its pants up

       And looked out the window 

  It's hand against a cold can of tokay wine

A turgid breeze named Evelyn 

   Sat in the car

    A 2013 Hyundai Accent

The haiku coughed 

   combed its hair

  And opened the door 

To another planetary good bye

 

 Oh 

Well the 

Heart

  Of the

   Shitty

   Is in 

YOU

 FUCK FACE

   WELL

there's that

  And therez dusty Rhodes 

   Skoller
