Lord of the Sky

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

There he was
Cold and Dead
Eyes open
As if
Even in death
He would seek to pierce the veil
The unknow­able



Oh brave soul!



Regal he was
As if he would Chal­lenge the Gods them­selves in com­bat
Pro­claim­ing to the world even Death can­not dim my flame



Lying there
Once Lord of the air
Sul­tan of the sky
Arc­ing and danc­ing upon cur­rents of divine magic
Yet
Soon to be swept up by Sara­cens – Cretins–
A for­got­ten car­cass
Whose bones lit­ter this for­get­table world



They are Inca­pable of know­ing the power you once wielded



A wick snuffed in its rag­ing glory
A blos­som rav­aged by winter’s cold truth
Dying with embers flar­ing
In bit­ter rebel­lion you would scream
“I was Lord of the Air!”



if I be a true man
I would anoint you in pre­cious oils
And cloth your death in sim­mer­ing gold attire
Lead pro­ces­sions pro­claim­ing
“The Lord of the Air has expired”
Wouldst now the sky be so bar­ren?



Alas the world tum­bles and the die rolls
Such is how pre­cious hearts are stilled
Ignominy claims us all as her own



How heaven and hell dance
And demand cadence from its play­ers
How the mighty
Are thus laid so low



Rot in the Street
Lord of the Sky
Is It is only I
Who would sing thy glory



When the reaper calls…
Who would speak such words for me?


Stupid People

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We were hor­ri­fied when Roy of Siegfried & Roy got mauled by a 600 pound white tiger. Appar­ently Herr Roy went into the cage armed with, I guess, one of those mag­i­cal foot stools and smacked Tony the tiger upside his head with a microphone.

Hey Tiger, jump through a hoop”
“Who you smack­ing upside the head Mother Fucker”

The tiger pro­ceeded to drag Herr Roy around like a rag doll. While Roy waved his remain­ing arm around like a lit­tle bitch, lead­ing to this news release.

When the best-trained and most-experienced han­dlers of big cats can be attacked and dragged around like rag dolls, it is plainly obvi­ous that untrained pri­vate cit­i­zens should not keep big cats as pets.”

Big shock there, huh? The truth of the mat­ter is there is an esti­mated 7000 big cats kept by pri­vate cit­i­zens in the United States and they kill peo­ple.
“Whoops, he was such a nice cat just before he took lit­tle Judy’s head off.”

Who can for­get Travis the lov­able face eat­ing chim­panzee who ate a neighbor’s face for lunch. Yea, a 200 pound wild Chimp went ape shit. They had to shoot poor Travis as telling him no TV tonight appar­ently had lit­tle effect on him as he was chew­ing through that poor woman’s face. Wild ani­mal are not social­ized and will never be social­ized. When they go off, it’s wel­come to the jun­gle time.

We love to vic­ar­i­ously expe­ri­ence the wild from the safety of our seats. We are a cul­ture of pussies and fag fucks. We let oth­ers take chances so we can be enter­tained. “Aren’t we all a bunch of wild ani­mals Doris?” “Yea, Ward, it really cool to get back to our roots.”

Peo­ple do stu­pid things and they do it all the time, all of us, every sin­gle one of you. We smoke, we drive with­out seat belts, we fall in love with peo­ple who plot our emo­tional destruc­tion, and we stuff burg­ers down our face till a crane is required to pull our bod­ies out of the house.
Some of us even strap sur­plus army rock­ets to our car and crash into a moun­tain going 500 miles an hour. “Wow, didn’t see that coming.”

I worked the Union Safety & Health beat in the most dan­ger­ous envi­ron­ment in the world, a ship­yard. I inves­ti­gated peo­ple being crushed to death on scis­sor lifts, peo­ple falling to their death, legs taken off by fork trucks, peo­ple dying of asphyx­i­a­tion in con­fined spaces, all of it; I had a front row seat boys and girls. The color of a charred body is not black, it’s blue, just in case you were wondering.

Appar­ently I was an unusual union stew­ard, I couldn’t be intim­i­dated, I had balls, I could read and I was artic­u­late. The most grat­i­fy­ing man­age­ment dis­cus­sion con­cern­ing me was told to me by my bud, Fred, a half man­age­ment fuck. He said one Boss whose unsafe job I halted wanted to put the screws to me and my Boss was there and said, “Fuck no; you’ll only make him mad.” Fuck you puke.

Employee’s whose lives and health I was try­ing to pro­tect hated me also. They really hated me.

Fuckin Eddie and his OSHA rules”

You see they wanted to do stu­pid things cause nine times out of ten you get away with it. But it only takes one time to change your life for­ever or become dead. All in the name of get­ting the job done. All those so called Safety & Health rules man­age­ment pukes and Repub­li­cans make fun of are writ­ten in Blood, every one of them that are in 5 CFR 1910, some­one paid for with their life or a limb. That’s the facts, please don’t bet me.

So do me a favor keep your eyes on the news­pa­per and read about the stu­pid things other humans do on a rou­tine basis and remem­ber who you heard it from.

I remain, never humbly,

The Little Girl on the Shelf

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

She stands alone
For­lorn and aban­doned
A dust gath­er­ing trin­ket
Peep­ing between Timmy’s Cum Lade Grad­u­a­tion Tas­sels
And a faded yel­low pic­ture of Grandma
Back when she had teeth
They talk from time to time
Some­thing about failed mem­ory
And aban­doned dreams



Mostly she walks alone
Trav­el­ing along dusty Mahogany shelves
Over torn doilies
Past the cir­cus ele­phant with the bro­ken trunk
With the mute girl fused to the tableau
Lone­li­ness opens her mouth and spoke
The ele­phant never answered
All he did was cry
Over what
No one could say



She decide to visit her friend
The beer stein from Heisen­berg
He stood all proud despite the bro­ken han­dle
And the chipped and faded col­ors
Of his once regal cloak



Oh the sto­ries he could tell
Of par­ties and cel­e­bra­tions
Of weekly dust­ings and lemon scented wood pol­ishes
Of pride, promi­nence and won­der
She left him to his mem­o­ries



Dap­pled sun­light danced along the worn sur­faces
Orches­trat­ing the play of shad­ows
Upon that stage the heartrend­ing scene played
The pageant of the lonely and the aban­doned



Just the other day
Dar­nell the Dol­phin from Sea World fell
And lay bro­ken on the floor for days
His cries of pain ignored
Finally swept up with a mum­bled curse
And deposited into the yel­low plas­tic grave­yard
The place too many of her bro­ken friends have gone



She retook her place on the shelf
And her coun­te­nance froze one again into form
And dreamed of a bet­ter tomor­row…



She dreamed…





The Vultures Sing

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Vul­tures sing
A vicious song
Rapa­cious
Bit­ter



Hun­gry



Patient



Glid­ing
Upon invis­i­ble air
Wings paint­ing death



Their clock ticks slow
Like metronomes
Bleed­ing
Mor­tal­ity



Their har­mony
Dis­cor­dant
Jagged
Dis­so­nant
Atonal
Sus­pended fourth
Need­ing res­o­lu­tion



They alight
On the fir­ma­ment
Coal black eyes
See­ing through Life
Pass the veil
Into eter­nal
Damna­tion



Wait­ing
For the last beat of the heart
For the feast



They are God’s
Favorite chil­dren



He loves their song
Plays it con­stantly
On his celes­tial iPod



“Sing my off­spring”
“Sing me to sleep”



God slept



And
No one
NO ONE
NO ONE



Can



Ever
Wake
That
Mother
Fucker
Up





Don’t Wake me…

Death sil­hou­ettes

Dance melan­choly minuets

Accrued dust scatters

Face­less vio­lins sigh

Mourn­ers do not bother to take up the chant

Smooth­ing wrin­kled skirts and check­ing fin­ger­nail length

Bored and dis­tracted with parched eyes inca­pable of tears

Sounds wither and die

Vibra­tions stilled and uncaring

Set­tle in for the long sleep

Wind becomes breeze and breeze…

Lies motion­less upon the mound

It’s cold’s time

Calm­ing the whine of mean­ing and loss

Thoughts crum­ble and descend upon the sleep­ing earth

Lying beside por­tent shards of strange magik

It all goes away

Whirling down sweet silence

Leave me alone

Don’t wake me…

The Male Orgasm

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

My edi­tor walked into my office the other day and asked if I would write a cheap, tawdry piece on sex, the male orgasm specif­i­cally. Of course I refused,



“Bill, I am an artist damn it and I will not sell my soul so you can sell copy!”
“Ed, there is a $500.00 bonus in it for you and I’ll let you fuck my wife.”
“When do you need it Bill?”



There is noth­ing more mis­un­der­stood than the male orgasm. Too much atten­tion has been paid to the female of the species. Any man worth his salt will tell you, if asked, and no chick is around that they “Really don’t give a fuck about it.” And they will go on talk­ing about the Phillies chances of repeat­ing as National league champs.



It all started when that dyke bitch Erica Jung wrote “The Fear of Fly­ing” and this whole mythos devel­oped over the non-issue. Then came the “G” spot, Christ the bull­shit I had to put up with when that came out. Chicks whin­ing, “Find my G spot Eddie, please” One chick got on my nerves so much I took her over my gyne­col­o­gist friend’s office strapped her to the table, pried open her snatch with a two ton hydraulic jack, and then called my Bud, Pete, who works in the power tool sec­tion of Home Depot,

Pete, I need every power tool you got!”
“ When ya need it Poet?”
“Now!”



So I work the chick over with drills, hole saws, (she really liked the rec­i­p­ro­cat­ing saw) All the time scream­ing, where the fuck is it bitch, this G spot you love so much?”
I believe I proved my point. But, I guess I could have been more sen­si­tive about it. It doesn’t exist, just more cheap arm­chair psy­cho bab­ble that sells books. Yes, I do despair of the species.



The orgasm is an intensely per­sonal expe­ri­ence regard­less of who is expe­ri­enc­ing it. It’s like a team sport where one per­son takes all the glory. I could use my con­sid­er­able poetic metaphoric skills to paint the expe­ri­ence with words but what would be the point? It is what it is.



There is a con­sid­er­able dif­fer­ence between the sexes on post coitus behav­ior. This of course is caused by years of cul­tural imprint­ing. A chick’s need to feel emo­tion­ally attached and that she is not a cheap easy pig that a man just fucked for shits and gig­gles. While a man looks at the chick with barely con­cealed con­tempt and says to him­self, “I can’t believe I just fucked this skank, how do I get rid of it?” Yes, she is like that puppy dog that will not go away, “Shoo Fido, shoo” This is when the love of your life ceases to be a per­son but an object to be aban­doned like a used tooth­brush.



There, it’s out in the open, and about fuck­ing time, I might add. Now a man has sev­eral options at this point, if he is inter­ested in a repeat fuck he will give you a cur­sory hug and say out of char­ac­ter stuff, while he is dress­ing quickly,
Yes, a man will say des­per­ate things just to get out of that bed­room. Unchar­ac­ter­is­tic words like “What do you say we run a marathon honey?” Or “I’m in the mood to go shop­ping babe, what do you say?” Or, God for­bid, “Honey look at the time, if we rush we can catch the last fif­teen min­utes of Oprah” For a man this is indeed a des­per­ate time.



One of the best extri­ca­tion tech­niques I ever heard was from my bud Pete. He would cum, roll over, put his pants on, grab the chicks clothes into a ball throw it at her and say, “Get the fuck out bitch my Girl­friend is com­ing over. “But you said you loved me Petey” “I lied” He then pushed her out the bed­room win­dow. A caveat is in order; this method should only be attempted by trained pro­fes­sion­als.



Being an extra­or­di­nary writer and cul­tural icon I have devel­oped a whole cat­a­log of male extri­ca­tion sce­nar­ios avail­able at my web­site Oddpoetword.com, for men only. I can’t give away all our secretes ladies.



I should write one con­cen­trat­ing on the female expe­ri­ence maybe I can get to fuck Bill’s wife again. But who would read it? Smile

I remain, faith­fully,
The odd­est of Poets…

The End ~Para/Oddpoet Collab~

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

The end rests
Lan­guid and del­i­cate
A sin­gle dan­de­lion seed
Estranged from the puff
Blown by rebel­lion
Or per­haps just nature’s course
To impreg­nate the ground
With more sun­shiny weeds



The end
It rests on my fer­tile mind
I cry for the clouds to unleash
A tor­ren­tial wrath
Imbed the seed to grow roots
But my mind remains arid
The wind stirs lightly
The dan­de­lion seed rests
Lan­guid and del­i­cate



Moments fused with hours
And time crashed
Against the shore of sen­tience
Vague­ness flashes
Thoughts whirl
Run away
Laugh­ing
Chal­leng­ing
The mote in God’s eye



The begin­ning…
I became…
Chaos fled
Fused Tachyons
Blazed
Scream­ing through the newly birthed light
I become many things
A par­ti­cle in the pri­mor­dial soup
A sin­gle cell
Need­ing mem­ory
To fill the void
Fus­ing
While incom­ple­tion raged
Become…Become…
The voice insis­tent
Demand­ing
Pulling pain
Out of beau­ties ori­fices



The end drained
The pla­centa of birth
Claw­ing for release
Upon the pure sands
Untouched by mankind
Fer­tile soil washed away
From neces­sity
Unnat­ural in the wail­ing cry
To be…
Accepted into the region
Unfit for any king or queen



Weeds grew
Bold and erect
Sup­ping upon the light
And dew as sweat upon the brow
Nature grew unpromised
And auda­cious in peel­ing the lids
From eyes refus­ing to see
The puff–
Blood­ied and alive–
There beyond obsti­nacy
In the face
Of time
In all its abhor­rence…



Then…
The music appeared
At first shy and unsteady
Yet insis­tent…
Demand­ing all take part
All share the essence of their being
Unique instru­ments… unique voices
In that choir all liv­ing things took their places
Like notes fused to alabaster parch­ment



The seed which was now more than a seed
More than what it ever could be
On its own moved to a strange grandeur
A feel­ing, a cer­tainty
That it was eter­nal
That its voice was needed
In that con­stel­la­tion of sound



The music would not stop
Could not stop
It held all things to its cadence

The music played…
And all life danced and swayed
To its rhythm



And it was…



Beau­ti­ful…


The Poet

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Sirens sing the song of death
While rental cops lay cones down
Restrict­ing traf­fic



They have come for me.



I am the Poet
The truth
My words are carved in the flesh of inno­cence
Scrawled in cheap uri­nals
Chis­eled in the faded gray paint of shit holes
Of lonely tomor­rows
I dry the tears of the hope­less
Scream with the home­less
I sing truth that hum­bles Gods
I am Prometheus, Sisy­phus



I cut the throat of pompous laugh­ter
And kill its first born
I eat the soul of dread­ful nor­malcy
I walk the edge and con­versed with mad­men
My words rever­ber­ate in trash strewed alleys
My tread echoed in the halls of jails and men­tal insti­tu­tions
Shared secrets with bro­ken soul­less junkies



I am truths
That freeze men’s souls
And the lies they swear by
The burn­ing blade cut­ting teth­ered souls
Illu­mi­nat­ing light­en­ing



I am the Devi­ate fondling sacred sex­u­al­ity
The ser­ial killer cov­ered in Blood
Suck­ing life from vic­tims
With last breath curs­ing God
Whim­per­ing
“Why me?”



I am the throne­less king
The voice­less trou­ba­dour
The song no one will sing
I am the invis­i­ble chill
That fon­dles your spine
I am dis­com­fort
The night­mare
The book no one will read
I am words no want wants to hear
I am …


Fuck You!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Lonely cir­cus midgets
leave steam­ing wads of cum
On painted side­walks
Dogs howl
And Cats still don’t give a fuck



A drunken fag­got
Tells the world
he has an answer
Just before he is stoned to death
Pools of rain­bow red blood
smile
Inscrutable



Bands play cheap music
For cheap peo­ple
while crack whores join con­vents
Intro­duc­ing the
G
H
And I orgas­mic hot spots
To God’s sad cho­sen few



A witch takes me into her bro­ken bed­room
Promis­ing to reignite
The fire
The pas­sion
The leer in my smile
While try­ing to sell me Avon prod­ucts
Skin so soft
I smile as I cut her throat.



Dimwits tell me the world is a great place
That it’s all bout love
We all should join the lem­ming brigade
And walk off the cliff
Together
Hold­ing hands
Like some Fag
Meryl Streep movie



Yea, what­ever…
