Behind the Finery

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Behind the fin­ery it lies
Per­fumed
Caked in makeup
Like a fat whore
Hid­ing pock marked skin
And razor scars
Carv­ing its story
Across the face
In blood red font

Like a movie set
A façade
Where Beaver and Wally
Dance with broom sticks
Prepar­ing
To woo the girl of their dreams
All the while­fangs glis­sen like fine ivory,
June Cleaver’s fangs
Glis­ten
Like fine ivory
Prepar­ing school lunches
Lay­ered in false promises
And unend­ing night

On this stage
Actors
Stick fig­ures
Card­board cutouts
Speak­ing mono­syl­labic
Affir­ma­tions
To Baal
The end­ing
Always
Ordained

Why read the book?

The Trial of the Loving Penis

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

The trial of the lov­ing penis

The court room was bright and hot
Lit by the fire of revul­sion
Heated by the pas­sion of hatred

The two judges’ left and right tes­ti­cle
Sat aloof, con­de­scend­ing
As they gazed at the gath­er­ing of pricks

The pros­e­cu­tor stood erect, engorged, stiff and unyield­ing
He approached the accused
“Speak your name penis!”
The accused by con­trast was small, with­ered, and flac­cid
When he looked up there was a calm dig­nity in his tiny penis eyes
“I am the lov­ing penis”

The court room erupted in stiff penisatic rage
“Your hon­ors his very words con­demn him!”
The prick turned to the lov­ing penis
“You are anath­ema, you defy our very nature”
Your job is to per­form and shoot your seed”
“Love is alien to our kind”
The pricks cheered at the prick’s accu­sa­tions
The two tes­ti­cles banged their gavels for order
“His words con­demn him the sen­tence is cas­tra­tion”
“But he has the right to speak his last words”

The lov­ing penis spoke, though gen­tle and soft spo­ken his words boomed across the court room
“I can not change my nature; I can not per­form with­out love, car­ing, shar­ing or pas­sion.”
“I am part of a com­plex whole; I cement the bond of love between Man and Woman”
“It is through me Man and Woman become whole, one, divine, they become part of the eternal.”

The judges knew they could no longer hold back the prick’s rage
The lov­ing penis tiny head was placed upon the cas­tra­tion guil­lo­tine
And as the blade of death began its down­ward descent
The lov­ing penis looked up and spoke his last words

I rather die for love then live for pleasure”

As his flac­cid head rolled across the floor most of the pricks laughed
But a few looked con­fused, thought­ful
The court room cleared
And the story ends.

Madman

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I’m sit­ting next to a mad­man
His eyes are implor­ing
Wild
They see every­thing
Col­ors talk to him
Tell him secrets never revealed to me
Sto­ries about
The Moon God­dess and the Stone Boy
Tales I would die for
Tales I will never know

Time flows like mon­strous ten­drils
Clutch­ing at him
He fights them off
They don’t stop
Clutch­ing, grab­bing, seek­ing…
His arms wave inces­santly
Even when

He lies down
closes his eyes
But I know
They never stop see­ing
His spit­tle mar­ries the cold con­crete cell floor
Human com­fort an alien thought
He is some­where else
Always

Some ignore him
Most laugh
I can’t
Col­ors roll off him
Mourner’s Black
Blood Red
And blues
Blues from a sky I have never seen
Greens from fields only Gods can trek

They come for him
Take him wher­ever they take mad­men
Plugged into a machine some­where
Talk­ing to aliens
Sell­ing stock futures

The cell set­tles into drab gray
And dreary same­ness
fuck sto­ries and jail terms
But
No madman…

Hole ~Para/Oddpoet Collab~

Monday, June 21st, 2010

The hole is get­ting emp­tier
As the faces fade
Into the shad­ows of the walls.
The faces never smiled any­way…
Just stared inward
With vacant eyes
Col­lect­ing data.

Invis­i­ble ten­ta­cles
Push away the sky
Demonic hoards work grav­ity machines
And archaic machin­ery
Fueled by lust and burn­ing souls
Faces replaced by black hearts
Not deign­ing to beat
Fly­ing Iri­des­cent insects wing­less
Fall
Deeper Into the chasm

The insa­tiable void
Devours screams into silence
Just below the slow lurch­ing rhythm
Of organic cogs plead­ing
For release…
Plead­ing to the supreme mus­cle
That will never cease.

The mech­a­nisms of the hole
Have all become vis­i­ble.
Each mask of flesh
And tis­sue has dis­solved…
The pre­tense of all human issues
Has been resolved
With the clar­ity of a sin­gle glance
Inward–
Into the eye of raw pri­mor­dial reality.

Eerie calm
Amidst the howl­ing silence
Essence dis­tilled
Gran­u­lated
Await­ing deploy­ment
Shape Shift­ing shad­ows
With wands made of clouds
And aban­doned bones
Pre­pare incan­ta­tions
Ecto­plas­mic scripts float upward
Nucleotides seek­ing union amidst the pul­sat­ing mass
The Hole pre­pares for birth

All pos­si­ble data
Has been col­lected
The embryo
Weath­ered by caus­tic evil
Inten­tion­ally unpro­tected
Emits a siren’s blar­ing cry
Of liv­ing…
Of liv­ing…
The ini­tial sign
Of human life unforgiving.

My name is Ghost

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

I am a Father
But I have no Chil­dren
I am in Love
But I have no lover
I am the painter with­out a brush
The musi­cian with­out a song
The trav­eler
With­out a des­ti­na­tion
A Poet
With­out
Words…

I have no mouth

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

She laughed and spread her legs and said “Fuck Me”



I ran out of the build­ing
Made of coun­ter­feit promises
And of stripe clad designer shit



She was every­where



The breeze
The wind
The manic song of birds.



I ram­bled down the street bleed­ing gut shot


She was the Mailman’s fake smile
The school children’s skip­ping steps
The know­ing smile of false traf­fic



She was the hum of sum­mer lawn mow­ers
The incan­des­cent laugh of young lovers
The fool­ish pride of suit wear­ing wannabes



She howled at my weak­ness
Assaulted me with Hol­ly­wood smiles
And soul eat­ing love words



Hol­i­day pic­nics played and mea­sured my creep­ing steps
Bal­loons painted the phony sky
Fire­works snapped and crack­led
Me
To the ground



I crawled up yesterday’s steps



The world
Regarded me
Like decayed ver­min



A mouse bet­ter off dead
In the trap



I slammed the door-less room shut
Bleed­ing sweat



Sanc­tu­ary sound­ing Ren­field gig­gles
In mad­men harmony



She appeared before me with con­de­scend­ing laugh­ter



I tried to screamed



But I had no mouth


Genocide~Para

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Courage was cul­ti­vated
Sold and inno­vated
Into plas­ti­cized records…
Bold to be seen
In the sec­tored regions
Unseen by the legions of prof­its
And scam­mers seek­ing mal­lets
And ham­mers to self-destruct…



What the fuck do you see?
Fil­tered on the jum­botron
To relieve
To recon­struct
The mal­ady of shag car­pet
In the fields of Dar­fur
To bet the ears of corn
On the purse
Of the igno­rant and the for­lorn
Plas­ti­cize…
What’s worse and what’s more
Than cries
Of mal­ice and New York whores
Sad­dled with AK47s
And chal­iced with the cups
Of over­seas geno­cide
And heaven’s doors



To see…
To kill the sight that bleeds
And bumps the world wide
Span of knees…
Fucked
Plas­ti­cized
Geno­cide induced lies
That flies from the lips
Closed
To those open with
Ter­ror­ized cries



Dis­tance grap­ples for the wrung
Caught and flung
By the omnipo­tent source…



Get out of bed, whores…
There’s work to be done
Work that slum­bers
On notions never begun.



So many notions never begun…

Smile for the Devil

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Ringed
Inside kalei­do­scopic brim­stone
A Hierony­mus Bosch Vegas strip



Sans tourist



Smoth­er­ing vapors of sul­fu­ric mists
Tor­tures gasp­ing breath

Ya wanna scream

Mommy”

But

Mommy ain’t here



Fish faced generic pedes­tri­ans
whose idea of a good time
Is a home car­pen­try project
Approved by Norm him­self



They sit behind rein­forced
Plex­i­glas
In air con­di­tioned
Save-way stores
Plead­ing
For dis­counts
And
The real deal



The demonic choir
Sing
Johnny Cash
With gui­tars
Made of human skulls
Stringed with the sinews
Of dead heroes



Big D
Enters
The circle

Wit a
Impec­ca­bly coif­fured
Elvis Doo

I guess every­body
Loves
The king



“You stay­ing Poet?”

Don’t think so D
But thanks for
Asking”

Ya know Your time is coming”

Decided?

Up or down?

Think I might start
My own after­life D



Big D
Gives me an Elvis
My Way flour­ish
Swirling his black sequined cape

Get­ting into that phony

Elvis karate stance.



“Sounds inter­est­ing Poet
You always did know how to style
If you need a hand
You know where to find me”

Cool D”

And I rolled.


The last Man

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Floun­der­ing…

Like a dead fish.

Gaz­ing at deep magic

Inside….Out.

Pil­lars of lust

Smoth­ered

Wrapped in cellophane.

Locked to immoral paths.

Visions in black and white

Against pre­scribed stan­dards of effi­ciency.



I peered out of my window

That TV screen whose chan­nel never changes.

And I SEE!

Androids filled with pre­tended purpose.

Run­ning to and fro toward mock destiny.

I see them har­nessed like cat­tle and led to troughs of offal where they feed.

Smiles fill there vapid faces.



For this was Life!

I see them walk pass fake trees and coun­ter­feit sunlight.

Night noth­ing more than an unplugged lamp.

They flash their vam­pire smiles

Teeth gnash­ing

Hunger’s need tem­porar­ily lend­ing false pas­sion to nothingness.

They see me and wave, “join us, and become one of us!”



I am the Last man alive.

I will never let them stick that straw of death into my head

And suck out my pas­sion, love and being.

I will never leave this place

I shall be con­tent to gaze out my window

That TV screen whose chan­nel I can never change.



Tears fill eyes

Pity fills my souls

I am the last soul alive

And I shall never leave my place.

For I will never become one of them.

Malt Shop Blues

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Face dam­age actresses

Crip­pled dancers

Cas­trated Lotharios

Mute ora­tors

Were all there

I was a spe­cial guest



You see I had the Blues

And the Malt Shop

Is where you sim­ply had to be

When suf­fer­ing that fatal spir­i­tual mal­ady



I looked around at the col­lage of failure

A con­glom­er­a­tion of burnt souls

Aban­doned in scorched pits of the damned

No amount of tears

Could ever put that fire out.



I moseyed up to the counter

Tit-less porn queens with sewn mouths giv­ing half priced blow jobs

Defrocked priest sell­ing wafers auto­graphed by Jesus himself

An insur­ance man with his Moth­ers still beat­ing heart in his blood­ied hand

Bang­ing a deal with a used car salesman

Who watched with satisfaction

As his 11 year old daugh­ter pulls a train

with well dressed Turk­ish sailors

Busi­ness looked good



Boys scouts seek­ing merit badges

Sell crack to nuns

Don­ning the lat­est in Fredrick’s of Hollywood

God squad apparel



It was there

all our sins

We just don’t like to face it

We are all responsible

We are all guilty

The truth be a Mother Fucker



I closed my eyes and

Inhaled the filth

Pores open­ing

In hor­ror and greed

Ten­drils of madness

Vio­lated me

became part of me



Don’t worry

Mad­ness don’t scare me none

Been there

Done that.

Bet ya

it scares the shit out of you



What shel­tered lives

Most of the pretty peo­ple lead

So when you look with envy

At your neigh­bors weedless

Pris­tine green lawn

For a sec­ond



Just a sec­ond



Think of those people

In the Congo

Being hacked to death

With Machetes

It’s real

It’s hap­pen­ing

Now

And if you can get away

Come by the Malt shop

I’ll be there

Got

Plenty

of Room
