gettin.lost
in yr.own house,
lookout, look
out

there's a talk
show segment
in my head
& these peo
ple's takes all
       mostly suck

random bin hex gremlins
in my sex drive again
like the former first lady
my troubles like to grow legs
and a track
record.

hair extension
of all global rights
administered by
last year's quality
discount clothier
for men

limp-ass soul chicken
pours the bongwater
in the fishbowl
like the cartoon where the piece
of paper comes out of the folder
already balling itself up then
disintegrates without ever
completing the arc to the garbage
       can which of course
           isn't there
             that's what
           it feels like tonite

call it in to check
decay sweet strip
tease of life, come
on. you are negation
of the social circuitry,
show me your ass --

cold subsided
into smoker's cough
for the time. every
thing that happens
has happened before,
one of those days, chief.
appearances followed
by product tie-ins so
fast & forever, it
seems like.

___________________________________________

 

just pop the clutch
& stop going somewhere
something will happen
& it will not make a difference.

ride the Green Girl
to Park-Galerie
the 1st time smells
like babymagic
-

that's just my style

don't worry, ma
that's just my style
