Redemption

It’s six in the morning and I’m on cloud nine
wrapped in my thermals oblivious to time.
Asleep in the clouds of a luminous sheen.
Engulfed in an airstrip of visual dreams.

For the twentieth time my alarm clock rings
I’ve tried to postpone this ineffable thing.
Granted I’m cranky with starch coated eyes
My biceps are aching its no surprise.

My breath smells like mothballs in search of a moth
jitterbugging in dance scouting for cloth.
One hundred steers have trampled my brain
traversing across its eastern terrain.

Am I angry? Well I’d say yes!

My neighbors next door, the barbarians from hell
encroached on my sleep, with their heinous yells,
these loud speaking carneys with their laze guffaws.
I’ll take drastic measures; I’ll summon the law.

With a supercilious smile that brims cheek to cheek,
and thoughts rather hazy from lack of sleep
I feel meritorious, my egos enlarged
I stood up to these scoundrels, and I took charge.

With impeccable tact I turn off the cautionary voice in my head
that is telling me not to go back to my bed.

The Blood From the Vines

The golden brass goblet with amethyst stones

Blessed by the Pope in Thailand and Rome

Yields of the grapes, jellied to wine

Bruised by the fingers of humankind

Mournfully plucked from its fibrous stems

Purporting of blood, a sacrament to men

Stained on the lips of all who partake

A cleansing of sins of the human race

Purple Thoughts

Sweet figs, rpened
Amethyst crystal

Dawn through stained glass
Goblet of wine

I Scrutinize with Anamorphic Lens

I sit at the bar at Club Zero, a Marlborough cig
in one hand, as I sip on one of those
famous snowball martinis that everyone
who's anyone always drinks.

I enjoy conversations about anything
and everything extraordinary, crude or...
controversial.

Take for instant, the carcinogenic
memorabilia on the walls at Club Zero.
A plethora of nostalgia, like
that 1920's telephone, that Granny
probably talked on. An imitation flag
touting the Civil war (probably scavenged from
some auctioneer in sheepskin, from the Catskills).
Can you believe two pink boobs with strawberry tits,
interjected between pad Miro` Lithographs
and Leonardo drawings, and I don't mean
Leonardo DiCaprio, mind you!

It clearly screams invidious, venereal, and foul.
But, my friend Arlene says it's experimental art.
I say crap. She giggles; I laugh maniacally;
we toast to the vulgarity of the wall.

Through the smoke filled bar my eyes catch a
glimpse of this Harvard prima Donna in strange buckskin
plodding in our direction like Marshall Dillon.

Annie get your gun girl, I laughingly whispered to Arlene.
We'd better head for the Carpathian Mountains
before this flamboyant Prometheus with slingshot
below his belt deems us heirs to his seduction.

Well Casanova turned out to be a madcap version
of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
Just like the Pink Panther he was quite certain that
the bartender was really a fugitive mobster
with a sidearm under his white apron.
But we two little ladies were not to worry,
we would both be protected, and undetected
behind the green shrubbery near the wall.

We were both privy to his bottommost secrets
if we would only listen quietly, he lamented.

Arlene, being suggestible, was infatuated,
head over heals, I swear, for this asinine,
laughingstock dodo.

They would probably honeymoon on the Love Boat
by the end of the week I reckoned.

I sat back like a ringmaster, albeit with a bit of pessimism,
had another cig, a sip of my martini, and with anamorphic lens
I viewed the whole inglorious scene.

Shaken Tree
for H.C, C.C. and J.C.


The house by the eroding shore—
The house The Almost-Architect lived in—
The house The Domineering Diabetic lived in—
The house The Fashion Plate Old Maid lived in—
The dilapidated house on 1st Avenue—
I knew the house in all the ways
The Family named it—
but you called it
simply
The House.

You and she were the
jitterbugging martyrs
living to care for
The Domineering Diabetic.
(who The Family also named
The Cow and sometimes The Mountain)
At least that was The Legend
I was told in1966.

I hope the mange shared
in The Family’s
ad hoc meeting rooms
never spread past those covert
Doberman’s kennels
to your bright
little
chateaux by Savin Rock.

I couldn’t have known
while drinking
Foxen Park diet birch beer
with your mother
and creating painted
water marks on
the rangeland of her
bianco #12 paper,
that I would belong to
that luminescent clubroom
where all bookish brides
and all ineffable drakes choose to live—

I couldn’t have known that
I might one day become
the resumption of The Family
Folklore, supplicating
your description of
The Almost-Architect
with one of
The Obese Cheetah
or The Cosmopolitan Cowgirl
who offered no visual privilege
to anyone
in cranky rebellion
of The Family’s
Northeastern barbarism.

There we will be—immortal—
all of us,
shaken from our tree—
four chestnuts woven together.

Cartographic Memory
for T. L.

Here still in the underbrush of
a Feng Shui laden summer,
I recall you then:Yin--
a young
--mother--
you deferred littleYang’s asthma
with a gallery of antigens
and exclusive attentiveness
He –
now:
a wheezing dragon amongst
menfolk clomping
through the resources
of womenfolk core
like a basophilic
quake fragmenting
Arlington National Cemetery
with its spray of
fire and phlegm octane
little Yang’s father ( _The_Yang_ )
perennially
commingled with
dervishes of cognac and solicitude—
Then: now
there are those of us
amongst your
second Yin cousins
still too boorish
to interpret the
ancient map
drawn before
us
where the site of
_The_Yang_'s_
--Young--Yin--
subjugated
all rank ,
all place,
all direction
to _Little_Yang_
the magical man-child: the beggar boy-citizen
--You both now—
Yin Mother: still with: Yang Son
Speak

Demystify:Me

Black and White

You walk into my life; a demigod,
a chanting dervish with a crooked smile,
a boorish sort of man, a pompous prig.

You! Prefer your solitude to laden quarrels,
hiding behind French cognac, and
fine cigars.

You defer the indefinite you and I,
for confrontations you deplore.

Instead, you prefer to hang our fragmented
souls in a hidden gallery of black, and white;
in the deep recesses of your psyche.

Unsuspecting, you clomp, and whittle at the
protective underbrush of my downcast heart,
with heavy boots.

You stand amongst the men folk with
a pretentious smirk of victory…
across your face.

And I stand mystified… with aching heart.

Night on Hettie’s Mountain

On this one magical night of the year
the electric, diamond studded stars were
afire against the azure backdrop
of the midnight skies.

Up Hettie’s Mountain, marched Creon’s army
of Zanzibar to the antiphonal hymns
of the spherical pines.

Their leather boots treaded heavily on
the carrageen covered ground, as thunderous
chlorine clouds swirled above their heads.

The blind clock-watcher in the gilded
blackberry tree herald the hour of
the great Sabbath; in an apocalyptic
battle against Good and Evil.

All the Woodside night creatures; witches, ghosts,
and goblins, began to surface from the
dark hollow pit of the underworld, with
heinous cackling wails.

Bloody villainous cries echoed throughout
the mountain as demonic shadows danced
in earthshaking cataclysmic fury, until
the miasma of darkness, and corruption
skyrocketed into crystalline light.

At the break of day the fruits of the Temple
of Life, blossomed from the ashes of death.

Grovin and Crusin

Hey, man this is heavy stuff!

Here man, have some more of this
colossus locoweed.

Hey Bertie, lets take a cruise in your
Bonneville…don’t worry
I won’t scratch
the damm teakwood dash.

Hey man, don’t be so inconsiderate,
pass around that weed…
heavy, real heavy man.

Hey Bertie, its’ party-time.
This brazen music really jives,
and sucks at the same time,
but it's groovy too...
you know what I mean?

Hey man, I'm a groovin
to the music
down
Highway 95,
and everything is superfine.

I feel so cosmopolitan Bertie,
drivin along side of you,
my sexual babe,
and full of juice.

The wind in our hair
not even a care
as to where to go
or when we’ll arrive.

It’s superfine on Highway 95.

Hey man, dig this beat,
it escalates from down in my feet,
clear up to my chinny, chin chin.
“Like the Three Little Pigs”,
and the wolf man says…
I’ll blow your house in.
Ha..Ha..Ha!
Hey Bertie, pass that weed.

Man Bertie,
do you remember
that Parapsychology Professor
at White Hall?
Expounding on the crimes of
that psychopath…what’s his name?
Groovy...this weed is burning my fingers!
Yae, something about him
dwelling on the Bay of Pigs.

Man Bertie, that wasn’t so
groovy…that unsuccessful
attempt at our GREAT USA
invading the Cubes,
now was it?

Bummer! Bummer! Bummer!

Hey Bertie,
slow down!
We’re gonna crash!
We're gonna have an accident!

Just like the Grateful Dead
in their song…
we’re goin to be buried
along the side of those
damm Begonias.

Groovy man, pass the weed Bertie...
this has been a real head trip Bertie.

Now for a new idea!

Let's see if it is possible to create a cohesive collage from the random words on this list. At some point in the near future under "Links", I will upload all the scanned collage images that I receive. The instructions are the very same--only instead of creating a poem, just create an image (8 1/2" x 11") with cut out pictures, words, newpaper print, etc. that express the idea that you have in mind to communicate-- which the spamWords inspired.

Here's the list:
malposed, clause, nimbus, lousy, sanitate, Ridiculous, skirt, they, erosive, everyone, counterexample, carboy, Jeff, rebellious, sewn, Aerobacter, squint. And, jazzy, westbound, squeaky, Gordon, shard, he, certainty, goldfish, retrogress. You, winnow, wiretapping, vision, quantity, trident,not, horticulture, swollen, Peabody, ardent, Scott, sunk, course, spokesman Kansas.

Hello All--
It looks like our old style simple word list has given way to true electronic babble-drivel -- or --
the "banter of the inconsiderate"!;-)

Check out what "Lutz" or Boyle999cet@yahoo.com has to say in his/her advertisement for "adgditional deegreees" -- These "deegreees" would have to be in creative writing, yes?

Hello All--
Well, I was so under-whelmed by today's spamWords in my junk mail folder, that
I jumped over to my favorite word generator site. Look at one of the phrases that popped out: Porto by Cornwall.

I like the idea of: Porto™ by Cornwall even better!

Porto™.
I haven't a clue what it might be--but it does have an "industry standard" sort of ring to it!
Porto™ sounds like a SOLID, reliable, STRENGTHENING product! Something Black & Decker might come up ... I think it might be a ....powerful putty-adhesive...

by Cornwall.
This changes everything! You see, now that I image the real creators of Porto™ ... to be named Cornwall, I'm just sure Porto™ is a man-made resin porcelain produced by the stately makers of Britian's best and finest bone china....

OK...enough already...here are today's spamWords, as if generated first hand by the advertisers themselves!!!

SWINE

The honorary decked in camouflage,
with tired feet on desert lands,
where the sun is sure
to blister flesh
instead of tans.

Special forces flown in
from Colorado’s Peterson,
to this God forsaken
yogurt land;
the borders of
Isfahan.

Lieutenant Dutch,
commanding
unilateral attacks
against the enemy,
but in his mind;
he envisions Camelot.

Blood, and death,
and death, and blood,
the aftermath of altercations
with the leaders’
of the
Promised land.

=================================

Words used: unilateral honorary swine
Camelot altercation isfahan Colorado
flown yogurt

When the Eagle Speaks, the World really does Listen!

I’ll soothe.

Too late, Eagle! You’ve already shed your colicky molt.
We’ve seen your toxic skin.
We’ve heard your electronic cackles
from the roost of your newsroom.



I’ll delve.

Too late, Eagle! You’ve already
flown over us
dropping your dreams of a unilateral Camelot
on our husbands,
on our wives,
on our children.

I’ll have my way.

Will you
have your way
or
Will your way
have you, Eagle?

I’ll altercate.

We know!

We’ll goad…

… and you
will delve…

into the sour pool
of our territorial yogurt!

Bring a spoon the size of Colorado!
Remember to stir the
fruit of your labor
from the very bottom!

When the flavor of our dead satisfies,
when the texture of your dead soothes,

when that damaged hour arrives...

...we will all
have
fed
on the
slops of our way.


when that frightful hour arrives...

... we will both
lift our snouts up
from our
trough

...and dare to call
each other
Swine!
