1. Priest
Lord you made the heavens, Earth, and upon it me
You made me having writhing serpent seducer
Then you abandoned me to my own devices
And now my serpent is enamored of NAMBLA*
Permissible in ancient Asia, Greece, and Rome
Made sinful by Christianity, forbidden.
A novice in your seminary of semen
My superior fathers laid hands upon me
Consorting with them I followed their ordured path
Yet knowing of my affliction you ordained me priest
Jesus walked with male apostles, I with young boys
In Sodom I pitched my tent to couch with sin and
Intensely attracted to innocent young boys
I drank to surfeit nectar from Ganymede’s cup
Blessed are the laity’s young sons, Hosanna!
Embracing boys I entered their forbidden caves
There experience passion of saint’s ecstasy
At your altar is sweet fragrance of altar boys
In my embrace altar bells ring thrice in my ears
In my faulted frailty I’ve sinned exceedingly
In my solitaries I languish in dolor
When examining my soul I detest myself
With hyssop’s holy water wash clean my stained soul
Sprinkle me with mercy to absolve all my rapes
Lord hear my prayers and cleanse me of my affliction
Accept the lowly offer of my scatted soul
The host of my two natures holy and profane.
Creatively correct you made good and evil
Then you scrambled the two in our heterosomes
Lord are you bipolar, divine and satanic?
Lord be merciful to those in eternal sleep
Those departed donors of man–boy love and all
Lost lovers sleeping in unresurrected death
You cast from heaven your disobeying angel
Upon death will you cast me out for breaking vows?
Lord I beg you grant me remission of my sins
Am I domed to purgatory’s eternal gloom?
Lord judge me, distinguish my affliction from the
Transgressions of murderers and politicians.
2. Laity
Breaking the seal of their holy orders they are
Revelation’s beasts personified eager priests
Priests rewarded with white collar turn to black souls
Dressed in priestly vestments the satanic satyrs
Appear as humble shepherds of the laity
While cruising cherubic young boys in the high nave
With instruction camouflaged by evil intent
Imposter priests titillate their catechumens
Then lay hands on with furtive forbidden fondle
In expansive sacristy they do wilding acts
In confined confessional of short stay sex nest
They ravage pink–cheek innocent young altar boys
Muffled gasps and moans intone the pederast’s psalm
In ultimate consecratory act of love
While our young sons are being raped by homo priests.
Watched over by statues of Mary and Jesus
Flanked by his two kneeling angelic altar boys
Pederastic priests abandon God for Satan
From the tabernacle high crimes at the altar
When confronted by their sordid crimes priests lie and
Confronted again you dispatch them to Eden
Sending serial rapists parish to parish
Repeating Emperor Hadrian’s habit of
Going from province to province with Antinöus
His beautiful godlike young man and lover
Hadrian acknowledged his love for the young man
But priests’ modus operandi - seduce, rape, deny
Church accepts priests' denials, rejects victims' complaints
For therapy you send rapist priests to retreats
Multimillion dollar tax free rehab venues
Where rapists look across the Atlantic to Rome
To rigid hierarchy protecting evil priests
You prove false your tenets of faith, hope, charity
With faith in Christian love we begged you for succor
In hope we expected justice and punishment
Without charity you stonewalled rightful judgement
Claiming that Rome’s papal tribunal would decide
Popes protect their supreme power and cardinals
Bishops protect their diocese, pastors, and priests
Who in the Church protects the lowly laity?
You are the Church most abusive and delinquent
You reject common decency for hierarchy
Your fawning deferral enlarges our outrage
Your mulish posture leaves us in profound anguish
Priest rapists of innocent altar boys rejoice!
Flying satanic standards those priests ride asses
Not on palm-strewn roads to Jerusalem but on
Corrupted pot-holed black top roads leading to hell
The shattered rod of Moses cannot be made whole
As revealed the Church covenant has been broken
The Father raped the Son while the Holy Ghost watched
Behold the ecclesiastical Antichrists!
3. Dismissal
Pray for priests whose vicarial rites extend to
Predatory pedophilia gratifying
Sexual desires greater than religious needs
You pederastic priests go and be remorseful
You separated yourselves from God and the Church
Each rape squared the distance of that separation
To galactic black space where you divorced yourselves
From Christ and Church to heresies of antichrist
Canon law sends pederastic priests to retreats
Criminal law sends them to cells in state’s prison
There they relive the sexual thrills of their rapes.
Woe to popes who love power more than laity
Woe to bishops who publish self-serving decrees
Woe to priests who lust after innocent young boys
And it came to pass that the laity rebelled
"We’re Americans, not Europeans and hereby
Declare our independence from the Church of Rome
To establish American Catholicism".
(Antichrist was prompted by pederastic priests.)

In nature's amusement park is tunnel of love
Its START guarded by coin taker surly Charon
Lovers embark the boat wafted by wan water
Through masonry archway to tunnel's dark and wet
Where dirty low set intrados are covered by
A slimed satin-sheened bacterial biofilm
Whose invisible attractive micro armies
Muster for offense fronting a gooey matrix
Its platform supporting a microcolony
Whose residents infect young or old lovers with
VD Exotica’s mutant bacteria
Scientists shout "clean the mortar and its matrix"
Workers scrub and disinfect the dirty slimed stones
But neither bleach, antibiotics, nor your prayers
Can cancel your God's commandment "to multiply"
With chemical wisdom of mutable DNA
Bacteria adapt and tenaciously survive
Escaping in canals of matrixed waterways
Bacteria form a new microcolony.
At tunnel's END the lovers disembark moaning
"Woe are we"
Dr. Research puffing a cigar once pondered
"In nature's schema bacteria outranks man".
(Biofilm was prompted by microorganisms outliving
and killing us.)25Jun01
Blacks
White can be shaded to black
Mixed colors cannot tint white
Mixed colors cannot shade black.
In applying the common black standard we have
Black mating with another black issues a black
Black mating with white issues a mulatto black
Mulatto mating with white issues quadroon black
Quadroon mating with white issues octoroon black
Octoroon mating white … ad infinitum black.
Blacks now decree that a white president black
They declare a drop of black blood makes one black
Applying this false premise to interbreeding
Disproves the axioms of Mendelian law
Making antilogous his particulates and
Reverses long-proved mathematical values:
B + B = B
B + W = 1/2B > 1/2W
1/2B > 1/2W + 2/2W = 2/4B > 6/4W = 1/4B > 3/4W
1/4B > 3/4W + 4/4W = 2/8B > 14/8W = 1/8B > 7/8W
… and so on.
In any ratable black-white combination
Black ascends upward through gray to creamy tints and
In strutway’s brazen offer of eyeball mating
In your face white panties vanish to mixed exit.
Black can be tinted gray
White can be shaded gray
White can’t be shaded black.
(Blacks was prompted by the false
premise that anyone
is black who has a single drop of black blood.)

First was Dolly and later her partner Dino
Then appeared the autoerotic lesbian
Who implanted herself with her chosen kind.
In Sistine Chapel's vault God's index finger
Transmits his divine essence giving life to man
Today we transmit life with an electric hit.
Extracted from her ovary a living egg
Is taxied to a dish of cultured confinement
There a geneticist with sharp micro needle
Pierces egg's protective layer to underside
Sucks out its polar body and pushing deeper
Penetrates to nucleus sucking out all its
DNA double helix parts list and software
Leaving the denucleated egg with only
Its protective layer shelling an inner lining
Fencing in a mass of gelatinous cytoplasm
The penultimate egg cell for cloning humans.
Using his micro needle the geneticist
Retrieves a cell from the person to be cloned then
Making amends for requisite vacuuming and
With direct access to great creative intent
Inserts the particular cloning cell between
The egg's protective layer and cytoplasm
The transfer completed, the expectant cloning cell
Neither in nor out lingers in egg's no man's land
Waiting for breeder lab's genetic spark of life
Absent the squirt of male sperm the incubator
Receives instead a clinical electric shock
Fusing the cloning cell to the cytoplasm
Which with obeisance admits the stimulus
Ensconced on the dais are the honored base pairs
Sweet adenine, thymine and cytosine, guanine
The jazzed vitalized egg divides to 2 to 4
To more and more, to ball of cells, to blastocyte
To embryo implanted in her uterus
In the hormone saturated cloner mother
Amino acids and proteins create the clone.
Look!
Here she comes hyping and pomping for public view
The royal brooder strutting full belly frontal
Infertile single queen carries in uterus
Developing cell balls of her married lover
Whose clone will be her blood successor to the throne.
(Cloner was prompted by advancements
in cell
technology.

With reappearing appeal dissenting zealots
Demand special rights from fearful politicians
Specialties intended to correct our billed rights
Politically correct, socially correct
And new corrects correcting previous corrects.
Compulsed by rote hatred of our modern culture
Emboldened by our government's chain of failures
Illegal aliens sprouting to terrorists
Board our jumbo jets and brandishing box cutters
They attack those naïve passengers and crew who
Brainwashed by our pathetic serial corrects
Correctly submit like chickens hung for slaughter
Terrorists slit their throats and with impunity
Hijack jumbo jets flying them as taught by us.
Illumined by morning sun the two silver streaks
Undetected by controllers fly far off course
In pursuit of towers in the World Trade Center
There they will punish our pseudo correct culture
There Allah's houris are waiting to embrace them
In throes of ecstasy terrorist pilots pray
"In the name of Allah, beneficent, merciful
Lord of daybreak as revealed to us at Mecca
Your ghazis will destroy the infidel and his
Phallic towers daring to ascend to heaven".
Guiding two fully fueled jumbo cruise missiles they
Crash them into the two capitalist icons
Their steel cages destroyed the towers implode and fall
The meteoric crash spewing tons of debris
Dispersed in giant clouds overwhelming the living
Covering the area with a pall of death
Silencing the combined expiration of all
The desperate frantic cries for help trapped within.
In the dastardly act profaning that day's startup
In the smoldering rubble of gross demolition
Twin towers were deleted from New York's skyline and
Entombed humans returned to the cementitious dust
From which they were made as told in correct scripture.
Fawning politicians kneel before illegals
Pledge of allegiance shredded to Catiline’s oath
Thanksgiving Day surrenders to Ramadan Feast
Gone are the crèches, Christmas trees, red poinsettias
On the fruited plain of American culture
Illegal aliens demand amnesty from
A traitorous congress campaigning for their votes
In the battle of offensive immigration
Superpower defeated by bows and arrows
While complacent correct citizens merely watch.
(Correct was prompted by the terrorist
attack
on the World Trade Center 11Sep01.)

Browsing the internet the adult single nerd
Cruises across to Europe's new adult products
Comes upon the risqué web page and pay-per-view
Exhibition of Amsterdam female replicants
Patched with scants they brazenly parade behind the
Big picture windows of partitioned cubicles
Paging forward examines several models
Then sorting by partition hits upon the one
Whose variables foreplay him to arousal
Scanning the analog of his chosen beauty
Spools to prurience her lavish bit pattern for
Reviewing the specs of her replicant program:
He buys the short lease for replicant 69
On one of her buttocks a butterfly tattoo
On the other in bold print DO NOT REMOVE tag
Ignoring the tag as breeder propaganda
His attention blushes her towards rosacea as
Her lips glossed with estrual mist reveal intent
Aroused their bodies radiate with hot flashes
To nurture proximity to carnal desire
To the chemistry charged with tightly bonded pairs
Resolved for female constant he's pulled into her
Converting loneliness to tourist paradise.
He teaches her to use the keyboard and macros
Ignoring macros she repeats all the keystrokes
Moody and skittish she laughs unexpectedly
Afraid of fire she will not dine by candlelight
With veal and truffles she slurps diet soda and
Prefers baked salmon with Lullian garnishes
While champing gourmet food smokes Dutch cigarillos
Fond of swallowing pickled herring whole her great
Gastrointestinal distress pollutes the room
She justifies her bred habits with torrents of
Scolding retorts defacing her cheek-boned beauty.
But paradise frequently toured may boomerang
From fa-la blah blah babble she becomes silent
What was her special relativity becomes
Her general theory of cohabitation
Bored with routine her cloned memory recalls those
Exciting nights in her Amsterdam cubicle
Nights of consensual perversions con amore
She coyly hints at genteel sexual abuse
Rejected, amphiphilic tears well and falling
Adhere to her layered unctuous eye shadow
Her self-help negative ions soothing to rote
Lull him to tread ennui in an insouciant sea
Its hypnotic rote carrying him to her tag:
The breeder of this replicant is not liable for
Her conduct due to the following anomalies:
Thinking of lease renewal he considers her
Kinky needs, contrary conduct, and bad manners
He declines lease renewal with too long a date
Refusing to leave, she's removed by the breeder
In solitary again his days are broken
By pesky regrets of 69's removal
Of penitent coitus interruptus and
Somber choruses of Non Dimenticare.
(Frauleinstein was prompted by advancements
in cell technology.)
16May01
Out of chaos emerged Gaea, Mother Nature
Her egg of night warmed and spermed by primeval love
Created and nourished the mountains, seas, and sky
Their beneficent diversity produced life
Bacteria, algae, fish, reptiles, and mammals
Some people reproduce to receive gifts from God
People like los indios south of the border
But Gaea prefers great genic diversity
Affirmed by our vital mongrel America.
Many thoughtless humans have venereal hearts
Bypassing brains, they scorn birth control to favor
Heuristic sex crowding vulnerable Earth in
Africa, China, India, Americas
There Titans of congestive humanity are
Burdening and depleting nature's resources
Coping they bury, burn, or throw away newborns
Because of great numbers of abandoned infants
We upgrade starvelings to socially correct orphans
Our maintenance pollutes the environment while
Supertankers vomit petroleum's black death
Our irreverence mocks Gaea's beneficence
Recruiting Nemesis she retaliates with
Earthquakes, fires, floods, genocides, killer gases
Diseases that destroy the idea of self and
Killer molecules immune to our remedies.
(Gaea was prompted by heedless human birthing.)

Once seen only in Barnum & Bailey side shows
Geeks blissfully aware of rebellious caprice
Stroll the promenades of capitalist malls and
Hallways of public schools ruined by teacher unions
In the ecstasy of analgesic feel good
And with saintly passion for self mutilation
Geeks perform satanic rites impaling themselves
Pinning trinkets through eyebrows,
noses, tongues,
lips, nipples
Navels, and genitals in whose ecology
Crawl crab survivors of the spiny Marrella
Infected by venereal bacteria
Are debauchee geeks whose urethras weep with shame.
Adding conceit to spectacular self display
They disrobe proudly pomping for self exhibit
Their bizarre narcism whose needle-pricked pigments
Of full body art narrate with motley tattoos
Social rebellion on their disdainful bodies
And flaunt in public their spiteful perversities.
Geeks exhibit old tribal adornments and scars
Grotesqueries of hip-hoppers and punk rockers
Are tailor’s dummies patched and pinned together for
Exhibiting tribal adornments and scars and
Emulating dark-colored aborigines
The retrofits survive with primitive mindsets
Use heavy metal to stretch ear lobes to shoulders
And Frisbees to stretch lips to serve as dinner plates
For consuming large portions of illegal drugs.
(Geeks was prompted by people who
satisfy bodily
appetites mutilating and tattooing themselves.)

Creators are greater than users
Founders are creators
Founders are greater than users.
Exercising his right of peaceful assembly
The marching King with his black and white activists
Are mustered demonstrators in civil rights masks
Arm-in-arm interwoven in checkerboard front
They march through Selma pursuing crowns of laurel
Endure the reproaches of police and dogs while
Surveilled by walled arrays of TV cameras.
King’s eloquent and resonant dream oration
Is silenced by a Dixie assassin’s bullet
The pall of black anger debacles to vultures
And rushing to feast on the newly found King corpse
The strident Black Cawcus and NAACP
Protest with old Jeffersonian anarchy
Emboldened by perceived social impunity
Revive Catiline's ancient conspiracy and
Bulked up on political steroids the zealots
Campaigning for minority rule and reward
Discriminate against majority as they
Usurp required yeas from a cowardly congress which
Pandering for black votes becomes delinquent.
Beltway’s Black Praetorian Guard seizes congress
In coup d’état they pass precedence to their King
And demeaning the august accomplishments of
Founders Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison
Elevate their King to presidential status
Dispensing welfare as national holiday
They add it to those for Washington and Lincoln
While jovial Togolese drum and dance in streets.
Segregating themselves the black minority
Imposes its selective and seditious will
On the acting-while-black brainwashed majority
Ingesting white blood cells the phagocyte agents
Post black buntings denoting majority death
And sing gospels scattering white ash in a croft
Where is the courageous leader who will speak out
Abrogating the King national holiday
For passing the Founders national holiday?
(Holiday was prompted by the Martin Luther King
national holiday taking precedence over a holiday
for the founders of this country.)20Jan01
About 5 billion years ago + and –
In mutant molecules socialized organics
Creating the living of biochemistry.
Life does not begin at momentous conception
In the upload of combined sexual release
It's transferred by egg and sperm combined to zygote
Attached in the uterus long molecular chains
Differentiate to growing living fetus
Bloody physical mass with large evolving brain
Designing integrated circuits and software
Operating on the old ± coding
Adding, changing, and deleting chemical paths
Their infinite complexity makes life human
Accessing the chemistry of brain’s memory banks
We intercourse consciousness and intellect
With attributes for art, language, music, science
Average Joe or genius, perfect pitch or savant
Fragile as artful pallets of butterfly wings
Durable as Rome’s obstinate old Seneca
Wrestling with a challenger Jacob realized
His challenger was only a man known as God.
Looking into the sad eyes of anthropoid ape
There but for accidental evolution are we
Super species made by micro genetic change.
(Human was prompted by our biochemical bodies.)

What's Jung is old duality of opposites
Man and woman, self and nonself, body and soul
XX wearing slacks and XY wearing dresses
His suppressed psyche finds representative dreams
Shared by all, his collective unconscious is but
Chemistry inherited from our ancestors
His self-conscious primordial images are
Electrical paths gated in our brain's network
We name the gates and measure their activity.
In Jung's studied thesaurus of antonyms are
Birth-death, intro-extro, anima-animus
Whatever-whatever of Janus-faced patients
Archetypes of primordial images all
Deleted by general anesthesia
Treatises convoluted by aware-asleep
Declared out-of-print by chemical injection
While cells and microbes are coping with ±
Kindness helps the brain palliate troubled charges.
(Jung was prompted by the fireflies of psychiatry.)

During the Great Depression my mother and I
Walked 10 city blocks to Blessed Sacrament Church
To receive the blessing from Jesus Christ himself
From left entered a priest trailed by two altar boys
Facing the altar was priest flanked by altar boys
Father flanked by Jesus right and Holy Ghost left
Then crossing himself the priest solemnly intoned
"In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti"
(In the name of the Father,
and of the son, and
of the Holy Ghost.)
What’s he saying?
Sh-sh it’s Latin.
His magic words conveyed the triune mystery.
With ceremonious gravity priest intoned
"Hoc est enim Corpus Meum"
(For this is my body.)
Kneeling Jesus tinkled the altar bells three times
In the silenced congregation no one dared cough
I felt goose bumps scampering up and down my spine.
With knowledge of imminent death the priest intoned
"Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis Mei"
(For this is the Chalice of My Blood.)
Signaling death the altar bells tinkled three times
Their audio condoled with death’s pall of silence
Its chilling cover erected hairs on my nape.
"Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus, Pater,
et Filius,
et Spiritus Sanctus".
(May Almighty God bless you: the Father, the
Son,
and the Holy Ghost.)
Let’s go the Mass is over
Priest and altar boys departed exiting left
Out from pews congregants filed out of the Lord’s house
Leaving I looked up at heavenly vaults of the nave.
In the celebration of Traditional Mass
Latin’s glory and magnificence and power
Descended from apsidal height to lowly pews
Where "Missa Romanum" (Roman Mass) was lately debased by
Listless ecclesiastics who crucified it
Killed it’s divine mystery and by transception
Converted it to mundane English babble
Gone are Latin’s power and mystery of Mass
Gone is Catholicism’s "ecclesia dei" (God’s church).
(Latin was prompted by the traditional Roman Mass.)
1Apr03
Treading the piled carpet of brown 5point needles
Emerging from the mature grove of tall White Pines
I view in panorama surrounding hardwoods
Their autumn leaves infused with brown, red, or yellow
Fall like tears grieving for exhausted chloroplasts.
The yellow popular with its trifurcated trunk
Ascends to towering triple crowns adorned with
Broad yellow tulip leaves which fluttering in wind
Detach and fall helter-skelter over my lawn
Covering its brown patches with pall of gold foils.
In a stand of oaks is the miscellany of
Northern Red Oaks, falling their brown-russet leaves while
Scarlet Oaks decorate with brilliant red accents
But the classic White Oak resists all the falling
Its rounded crown holding on to its blood red leaves
Persisting through winter, its fixed scarlet buntings
Signal the deaths of hardwoods martyred by chain saws.
There among oaks is a stranger, an imposter
Camouflaged as oak Silver Maple's lobed red leaves
Are transiting to their bright autumnal yellow.
From sunlit high crowns sweetgum's 5-point yellow stars
Slothfully yaw to ground on beds of matted leaves
Where they repose burying desiccated dead
While lusty winds pursue fruits of hard spiny balls
Hurling them in stealth volleys they prick the grounded
Blonds, brunettes, and reds openly lying supine
Caught in gusty wind swirls some frisky leaves play tag
While groupies blow along only to be trapped by
Tornadic whirls commingling them in motley piles
The air-borns escape taking shelter in shallows
Veneered by Beech browns of serrated veined ovals
Nearby a leaf’s stem is caught in a spider’s web
When the wind blows the leaf spins like a whining top
On a windy day leaves fall layering my lawn
But on my blacktop driveway there’s a loner leaf
Foraging in grounded leaves squirrels and chipmunks
Their cheeks ballooned with acorns search their habitat
For burial sites selected for cold storage
Winter winds howl with Puritanical outrage
At denuded hardwoods displaying bare limbs
In spring waking breaking winter’s long abstinence
They retrieve from cold storage treasured acorn snacks
Retrieving their treasure the burial sites are
Unearthed for oak snacks breaking winter's abstinence
Leaving my lawn in dimpled diaper pattern.
(Leaves was prompted by autumn in Connecticut.)
15Dec00
In embrace synthesized proteins badly folded
Evolve to her cropped hair, pearl earrings, men's clothing
The modern lesbian on her mission du jour
Drives her leased car commuting to male business
Ensconced in her office with Formica surround
She stalks the curious male who dares stop to gawk
With sexually correct response she attacks
Hitting on him with correct feminazi skill
Seizing the spècialitè de la maison
Sucks to mewing ecstasy his body fluids
Feasting on his dry carcass bites it to pieces
Newly ingested exotic chemicals now
Transfuse male molecules reodorizing her
To vamp triumphant with transgendered potency
Excited by her queen’s prints of sight and odor
The newly maled lover lingers in queen's alcove
The agog she–he enters the bridal chamber
She foreplay licks sweat from her queen’s armpits and crotch
She eats game tuna trapped in her queen’s pubic net
Tipped with male pearled glob her long penetrating tongue
Inseminates the buxom Polyergus queen
Who with her lesbian lover nurtures offspring.
(Lesbian was prompted by narcissistic
women desiring
alternate methods of insemination.)
28Nov00
With unrestrained prejudice dumping littering
The slovenly ill mannered mock our abundance
Pigging out and then throwing away leftovers
The progressive products of fields and factories
Along streets and highways, in parks, and on front lawns
Homeowner’s depository receipts vouchsafed
By scattering scumbags and littering themselves
Trucker urine bombs splattered along interstates
On beaches medical waste creates sand sculptures
Visible grotesqueries of the bad manners
Of discountable irresponsible persons.
Their serial littering campaigns extend to
Junking their puling puking infants in dumpsters
Polluting pristine lakes where nature lovers shed tears
Construction workers litter home sites with rubbish
Reminiscent of a hurricane's destruction
Owning little they abuse private property
When you’re not looking they slyly hide in its brush
Their mistakes and scraps of wood, rubbish and garbage
Topped by tampon's flagging red glare the beggarly
Wandering garbage barge finding no port of call
Dumps refuse, sewage, swill in the living ocean
Its defilement causes Neptune to order the
Waste management practiced by Imperial Rome.
(Litterbugs was prompted by the ubiquitous dumping
on private and public property.)26Jul01
A sea–beaten lobster boat was at the boat pier
I half fill my galvanized pail with seawater
And call out my order "get a 2 pound female"
Without reply the sea-burned salty lobsterman
Uncovers the boat hole exposing layers of
Contentious shiny green and black mottled lobsters
He displays a select female brandishing her
Battle-ready open crusher and ripper claws
I nod approval, he drops it into my pail
Paying him one dollar I then depart homeward.
I place my lobster pot on the large gas burner
Pour in the seawater and fire the pot on high
Slide the angry lady into the kitchen sink
Instinctively she hoists and brandishes weapons
Open ripper and crusher ready for battle
Warlike Athena posturing with shield and spear
Antennae whipping, mouth jawing, spitting bubbles
Her prominent fierce black eyes draw a bead on me
Carefully approaching the scorned select lady
Furtively grasp her from behind, then turn ‘tover
And with noblesse oblige apply the coup de grâce
Drawing a knife tip between her carcass and tail
Severing her dorsal nerve cord she relaxes
Then gingerly drop the anesthetized limp Kate
Into the pot's roiling currents of sea water.
Now set the table with a large oval platter
Sided with red checkerboard huck kitchen towel
On it cocktail fork, nut cracker, nut pick, teaspoon
The setting supervised by white wine chilled in ice
Sipping is permitted during the lobster boil
20 minutes later chameleoned fire red
Giddy with gustatory anticipation
Transfer the cooked lobster to the oval platter
While cooling prepare the maverick butter dip
In a small crock put a large clove of crushed garlic
Cover with extra virgin olive oil and then
Add a glob of butter, grind white pepper to cover
Float the crock in the still simmering seawater
When dip is piping hot remove crock to table
Quarter a lemon adding its juice to the dip
Garnish with a pinch of Italian flat parsley.
Tabling yourself rinse your mouth with wine and swallow
Now tear off 1 of 8 walking legs and disjoint
Insert a joint between your incisor teeth and
Clenching pull it out savoring its sweet morsel
Do the same to t'other set of walking legs then
Separate the carcass from its knuckles and tail
Turn over the carcass and spread it wide open
Pull out its mass of gills, extract the sandwiched meat
Spoon out the green tomalley and coral roe then
Swish the spooned delicacies through the dip yum-yum
Disjoint the knuckles from their claws and crack open
Pick or fork out the meat then swish it through the dip
Crack open the ripper claw, fork out its dense meat
Swish through the still warm dip, chew, swallow with
eyes closedWith generous gulps of chilled wine wash down and then
Regale the palate with the large crusher claw
Then on to the main event of the lobsterfest
Turn ‘tover curled tail, straighten it flippers away
Between shell and meat insert fork to second segment
And with smart downward thrust pull out the entire tail
If intestinal canal is black remove it
Swish tail's stout end in the dip, bite off, yum-yum
What a pleasure it is getting a piece of tail
More pieces establish the banquet ritual
Feel its sweet density dispersed throughout the mouth
Its flavor crawls and lingers in the tongue's mid-groove
As your apical receptors howl with hurrahs
Fungiform papilla respond with approval
Spoon any tail roe, garnish with the dip, consume
Lastly tear off tail flippers suck out their contents
In the festival of tail my taste buds rejoice.
Nearby calico Ginger patiently waits for
The flooring of leftovers in the large platter
Mewing Ginger hastens to lobsterfest overs
The vacated chitinous exoskeleton
Nosing about she examines the empty shells
Disappointed, glaring at me, she walks away.
NB: When you’re preparing the maverick butter dip
Do it secretly lest you’re charged with sorcery
By angry Yankees who’ll shackle and transport you
To the boat pier and stuff you in a dockside weathered
Lobster trap, there to be white washed by sea gulls until
Remorse submits you to Pilgrim’s pride pure butter dip.
(Lobsterfest was prompted by buying lobsters at the
boat pier in Narragansett, RI boiling them in clean sea
water, and eating them. This was before the 1938 hurricane
destroyed the sea wall and boat pier.)13Jul01
In scanties she brazenly struts attraction for
High-voltage waves that pattern perfect proportions
Their emblazoned image makes his cerebrals blush
Performing immodest mimetic flirtations
The sympathetic paramour blithely dances
Into his librating locus ceruleus
Inside she turns OFF his inhibitory cells
The balance of male circuitry disrupted it
Dispatches dopamine to chosen pickup sites
Thermals swell testicles swell with mating potency
Aroused neuros transmitting across synapses
Wrap arms tight around female's exquisite proteins
She stimulates oxytocin's mini series
Love's dialogue relaxes his smooth muscle cells
Whose longing invites the rushes of red high tides,
Engorging resilient sinusoids to vigor
The pumped up statuesque vascular respondent
Pompously exhibits its battering ramshead
Beckoned by the glorified sea-foamed Venus shell
With male prerogative’s inherited syndrome
Quickly enters her readied spermatorium
With conjoined joy of potency spent he withdraws
And outing, inhibitory cells auto ON
His smooth muscle cells contract to red-tide ebbing
Emptying turgid sinusoids to impotence
And while he languishes in post synaptic tidings
Her desire for more are whispers to a eunuch
At his aggressive frontal all is now quiet
In full retreat to refractory abstinence.
In realm of REM does Priapus decree
That from the sacral spine of noble Khan
His Venus springs from shells of vertebrae
Where passions measureful to man run down
To sunless tides of cavernosa sea.

In planetary order Mars is 4th from Sun
Its size and density about ½ of Earth’s
100 Earth pounds about 43 on Mars
Its day about ½ hour longer than Earth day
Its year 687 Earth days and
Satellites Deimos and Phobas moon around it.
Its mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere is
Customized by trace amounts of lighter gases
Covering a cold desolate and dry surface
Roughed by asteroids whose high-speed violent hits
Memento patterns of craters and regoliths
Layered by iron oxide blown by hostile winds
To pesky particulates of fine red dust which
Rising tinges pink its thin cloud cover banner
Streaked with white water vapor and blue ice crystals
Fierce storms pile red dust to pelagic sand dunes of
Fractals extending to a flat far horizon
As green patches come and go with seasonal flows
Which melt and then freeze its dry ice polar icecaps.
Mars’ Valles Marineris dwarfs our Grand Canyon
Deserts are marked by gorges and vast depressions
Were they once filled with flowing rivers, tidal seas?
Skyscraping from the lifeless grotesque rock rubble
Bigger than any mountain in solar system
Is monumental Olympus Mons Volcano
Erupting it spewed primordial plasma to
Zodiacal heavens that foretold Mars’ birth
By Sirius light Mars caught Canis Major
On Earth he converted it to Roman She Wolf
Whose emperors honored and sacrificed to
Mars the patron god of war and fertility
In deistic order he’s 1st from Jupiter
As armored god of war he hands shield and short sword
His battle victories turned arenas blood red
As fertility god he’s signed with male symbol
His abundant carbon dioxide greened brown earth
To Temple of Venus gifted his woodpecker
Sacrificing in ritual prostitution
Its chisel beak pecked into Venus the message
Proclaiming eternal war between the sexes.
(Mars was prompted by our attempts to
probe it for
possible life forms.)

In planetary order it’s first from the Sun
Its size and density is less than ½ Earth’s
100 Earth pounds weighs 38 on Mercury
Its protracted day equals 59 Earth days
Its year equivalent to 88 Earth days
Mercury the speedy messenger of the gods
Races wildly in eccentric solar orbit
Speeding to complete 2 years in only 3 days!
Wayward asteroids invade with impunity
Its ultra thin airless frictionless atmosphere
Violent hits by space debris blemish its surface
Further scarred by deep craters and giant starbursts
When detected near the Sun it’s only a mite
Proximity increases the Sun’s size and rays
But mighty mite makes perilous passes at Sun
Delivering affronting in-your-face tidings
Its gasconade taunts the Sun and once it even
Stole fire for Prometheus man’s first hero
Vexed at Mercury's insolence and close buzzing
Agitated Sun captures the pesky gadfly
While keeping it in temporary detention
Sun’s gravitons slow its axial rotation
To slothful crawl, to lethargy, barely turning
Intimidated by Sun Mercury wobbles
Faltering appears to stop and then slide backwards
In the stellar confrontation Mercury is
Condemned to the Sun's thermonuclear furnace
Whose hot coronal loops and searing solar flares
Spew helium and x-rays and packed gamma rays
Nuclear radiation’s constant bombardment
Blasts away whispers of Mercury's atmosphere
Blow torches its sunlit side to lead's melting point
The same would incinerate our atmosphered Earth
Exposed to sunsear the catatonic planet
Confesses subordination to massive Sun
Meanwhile on its opposite cold dark side the
Temperature plunges to cryonic deep freeze.
Diverting from the Sun’s hot coronal licks
Mercury turns into a lingering midnight
Zone of gibbous twilight and lasting libration
Its antipodal convex edges profile the
Drama of day's white heat and night's dark cryonics
How much longer can extremophile Mercury
Keep intact its torched day side and frozen night side
Before it’s fractured, split, and destroyed by the Sun?
(Mercury was prompted by its awe-inspiring activity.)

Awake I regulate my lobes and sinuses
Unwinding I suspend my self-regnant volition
To recess from executing orders of will
Day’s awareness submits to night’s recreation
Slouching toward oblivion to sleep I cross
The pontine bridge to mysterious Morpheus
Who rules with great power of chordate chemistry
Randomly acting out on my screen its new dreams
Deposing my will to unknown autonomy.
The spurious byproducts of being awake
Execute a random input dream data stream
In the mind’s resource of dream I play, run, and scream
In bizarre plots of incongruous dream dramas
I helplessly rehearse that day’s old and new scenes
Scenes fancied by visions of surreal imagery
With inchoate arousal restrained by shyness
Wearing a negligee embarrassed among friends
Shameful acts of parodic grotesqueries that
Catalyze amygdala's satanic storms whose
Incantations ascend from dream to oracle
Hostile visions with disturbing consequences
Revelations converting me to frustration
Where noisome odors nauseate me so I reach
For the homeopathic nux vomica as
Dream internals do motor output waking me.
I try recalling all the elapsed horrifics
Of manic rage neutered by logy depression
Those details deleted by dream amnesia
I wonder about dream reality and if
There's any truth in delusional cognition.
(Morpheus was prompted by mysteries of dreams.)

The Lord used clay lattices to make his image
With leftovers He thought about making clones but
Instead made in abundance fiendish mosquito
It breeds in water anywhere in cans, marshes, plants
Loitering in shaded dampness it waits for you
When you pass it follows your effusive odor
Flying the fumery path of your CO2
Weightless it lands undetected on your bare skin
The evil vector's tripart body supported
By 6 longer filamentous legs ending with
Tarsopeds anchored in your epidermis for
Rigging its intrusive siphoning proboscis
Stronger and sharper than a lab's micro needle
It easily pierces triple layers of skin
Biting naïve you sucking your nourishing blood
Transmitting to you its venomous saliva
Diseased bacteria, parasites, viruses
Full of you the Bacchanal celebrant departs
Reacting you try squashing it but it's too late
You're infected with gangs of alien blood punks
Dengue, elephantiasis, encephalitis
Malaria, yellow fever, West Nile, et al.
The dengue virus stiffs your backbone and bone joints
Fatigue, fever, headache, malaise, rash eruptions
During troubled sleep teeth chattering, not grinding.
Filaria worms of elephantiasis
Are parasites feeding on your blood and tissues
Once homeless they become squatters in your lymph nodes
Converting smooth skin to repugnant elephant hide
Swelling genitals and organs to grotesqueries
What were once your toes now look like elephant clubfoot.
Bacteria, protozoa, viruses, worms
Agents of indiscriminate encephalitis
Tremors, stiff neck, inflammation of meninges
Apathy and protracted sleep cannot disguise
The torturous pain from an abused brain and spine
Attended by convulsions and coma and death.
Feasting in you are sporozoan parasites
Swimming in currents of malarious cycle
Destroying red blood cells making you anemic
Recycling again fever, chills, and paroxysms.
With jaundice aforethought the yellow virus
Infests you to Satanic acute febrile loop
Further weakened by hemorrhages and tremors
You suffer from dizziness, headache, fever the
Crucifying malaise canvasses for quick death
Look!
He’s spewing black vomit from the bowels of hell
And from sidewalks of New York West Nile fever is
Killing seniors having weakened immune systems.
Then there's the calamitous Genesis serpent
Converted to worm its coiled length and writhing head
Live in the diseased carbuncle on your ankle
Its emerging Medusa head begs to be severed
And when you do, it regenerates a larger head
And doubles its carbuncular slimy coiled length.
First they amputated his gangrenous toes then
They amputated his gangrenous leg and now
His brain’s meninges are infected and rotting
Lord you made the heavens and earth and all there is
But why did you make meningococal sepsis?
There are those waking not to the morning’s bird songs
But to alarm of their body’s nauseous odor
Skin rashes, lesions, stinking supruating sores
And their black-green boils bursting with putrefaction
Lord what have you wrought with your extra lattices?
Why punish us with your predaceous mosquito?
Where are your dragonfly angels to consume it?
Why do you detest and punish your own image?
We are ruefully learning to protect ourselves
Lord we alone cope with your evil mosquito.
(Mosquito was prompted by its transmission of
disease and death.)15May02
In autumn after a long fall of drenching rain
After crostini and cafe latte breakfast
The trio – papa, older brother, and I
Collected bushel baskets of woven wood splints
Held together by galvanized wire which at top
Was braided for two strong handles then loaded them
Into our wood-paneled Model A wagon with
Wood-ribbed roof covered by waterproof black canvas
Brother coaxed the reluctant wet engine to start
At daybreak we were the only ones on the road
Passing familiar rural acres and woodlands
We parked in a roadside clearing rutted by tires.
With baskets and pocketknives we entered the woods
Apart and abreast began searching for mushrooms
I was obliged to show papa mushrooms I cut
Appraising them he’d opine good or throwaway
We found some chantarelles and a batch of oysters
Emerging from brush we came upon a clearing
Studded with monuments of hardwood rotting stumps
Adorned with welcoming mats of honey mushrooms
We stumbled upon the mother load of honeys
Huge 10–20pound mats of woven mycelia
Exposed treasures of haploid saprophytic gold
The serendipitous find rehearsed the joy of
Columbus sighting land or Clarke the Pacific
Papa exclaimed "Fortuna led us to this place
Hurry let’s harvest them before fate intercedes
Check for hair stubs on caps and white rings underneath".
Working as combine we cut and separated
Honeys from their huge spreading mycelial mats
Shuttling I carried full baskets to the wagon
Returned with several nested empty baskets
By midmorning it was clammy, cloudy, and cold
Humidity increased to bone-chilling drizzle
Exhausted by portage Gunga Din welcomed rain
In all we harvested 12 bushels of mushrooms
Packed and stacked in the wagon I squeezed among them.
Driving back home, pleased by our fortuitous find
Papa lit up a blunt dark Parodi stogie
With one hand brother lit a Camel cigarette
The stogie smoke was sweet and stingingly pungent
The cigarette smoke soft and sophisticated
Two smokes, rustic and worldly, blended into one
Duo voices basso profondo and alto.
In stock pots mama boiled her mushroom witch’s brew
Testing each batch with a shiny silver dollar
Retrieved untarnished meant each batch was edible
Mama preserved most mushrooms in glass quart Bell
jarsEach week mama prepared a mushroom dish such as
Veal and mushrooms, pan drippings deglazed with Marsala
The sauce poured over creamy arborio rice and
Sausages, mushrooms, peppers the pan drippings deglazed
Poured over polenta served with bruschetta rounds
Always washed down with generous sips of homemade
Zinfandel wine varied with grapes from our vineyard
Bold and balanced clear red wine with full nose finish
We feasted on honeys through winter to Easter.
(Mycomania was prompted by mushroom forays during
the 1930’s Great Depression.)12Oct02
In a punt are a handsome young man and woman
With show of virility he propels the punt
She looks overboard, is enthralled by her image
From deep reverie she looks up but the man’s gone
Rejected for her love of self she’s now alone
Pining away in solitude’s introspection
Did you love the young man who saw his water rival?
Was it the water nymph with whom you fell in love?
Poised she's resurrected by her mirror image
Liberated from ego trips with men becomes
"Gloria femina" the heroine of self
Cloistered in her dark asylum of self-breakdown
Listens to the old rote of imposed fluency
Indulging her commitments to self privacy
Imposes her maudlin emotions on others
Confessing her banal anecdotal narcism
Her storied reportage of feelings edited by
Intervening autoerotic episodes
As lovelorn Echo her reply is the last word
And then toasts herself sipping her milk and menses.
Caught in wild mood swings of polar extremities
Librating between + and – contraries
Frustrated over serotonin loss she weeps
Desperately seeking the common middle ground
Descends without return to that polar black hole
Where death’s pallor is petaled by purple patches
Her grave mementoed with daffodils and jonquils.
(Narcissa was prompted by destructive introspection
leading to depression and suicide.)23May02
In roundabout exhibition the meadow nymph
Dances over flora untrampled then tiring
Reposes in the shade of ancestral laurel
Seeing a cruising centaur she starts the syndrome
Under cloud cover she flees into the woods
In hot pursuit the bold centaur follows her scent
There in the dark game forest loses her image
But breaks in cloud flow brightly spot her camouflage
By a stream she kneels among shored tiger lilies
Their black eyes and those of centaur gaze upon her
Beauty bred and nurtured for predatory beasts
She scoops up water in her fragile chaliced hands
Water breaking returns to nature’s choral song.
Centaur voyeur rustles nearby, nymph turns to see
Beholds a man dark curls, broad shoulders, washboard abs
Encouraged by her indulgent observation
Centaur exits from bushes to reveal itself
Exposing full frontal bestial virility
Persuades nymph to couple in predestined repro
AS portrayed on Internet, movies, print, TV
They partner in + and – ancient dance
Presto tempo flagellating in the love stream
The two dancing the quick step in her ballroom dark
Among the tiger lilies she’s alone again
In the heat of day incubating DNA.
(Nymph was prompted by beauty and beast syndrome.)

When all my telomeres predecease me and my
Battering ramshead reduced to chestnut acorn
Think of Shunamite virgin nursing King David
Shunumitic senior dreaming of potency
When my old age compresses future time to now
And like Degas aimlessly walking Paris streets
I meander in my old brain for memories
When my loose DNA segments become killers
They ravage cells of my weakened immunity
When I lose control for switching + and –
And cannot manage delinquent electrolytes
And my browned out energy makes me stone silent
Bearing a moon face, gawking, open mouth drooling
What happened to all my regulator T cells?
I’ll be alone without rescue, succor, or hope
In the inexorable decline of life and
When in decline slouching towards animal still life
I stoop to conquer a small sunspot on the floor
But it disappears in my shadow’s colossus
It's then I pour a glass of water and shuffle
To bright southern exposure and raising the glass
See sunshine through water cast a brilliant rainbow
And marvel at the bent bursts of prismatic colors
On a barren wall whose ghostly background pallor
Is printed with the wan font inscribing old age
Declining senior apes a young man’s potency
Performing a capriole for a young woman.

In last resort hospice prolonging sterile life
On a rubber sheet veneered with brown absorber
Lies an old man’s withered smelly dying corpus
Unable to drink or eat or talk or other
Glazed eyes shut open cast death’s shadows on his cheeks
He’s caretaked by perfunctory union ennui
Given by gratuitous "How are you today"?
God, bad law, and greed keep alive the living dead
Preserved by order of garrulous tort lawyers.
Long ago was the feel-good time of spirit when
Was seen in the blue heaven above the big chief
Riding the plains’ Indians great white buffalo
Withdrawn to dreaming he sees Wampanoag braves who
Seize and carry him to a grove of tall white pines
From a tree at its trunk they snap off dead branches
Leaving residual branch stubs for laddering
Climbing they build a platform with broken branches
With sharp tomahawks harvest a heap of pine bows
Layer them crisscross over the platform and then
Hand over hand ladder him up to the platform
Gently lay him down adding a pouch of wampum
Then entomb him with layers of crisscross pine bows
In the basilica of high pines in winter
Branches drooped with wet snow genuflect to nature
His body once an electrical conductor
Becomes an insulator standing off life which
Now declines ± to the 0 straight line.
(Oldster was prompted by the debilitating vagaries of old age.)

It came to pass the day after spring's first full moon
My patio’s burning yew was speaking in smoke
Each wind gust dispersed a cloud of white smoke speech whose
Elements graphicked the drawn devoted face of
The one the Lord chose to favor with the smoke gene.
On barren space of Sinai concrete patio
Inspired by the burning bush’s smoke message
Moses dutifully inhaled secondhand smoke
Fasting 40 days and nights he became lean and
Free of toxins his brown skin became radiant
His protruding ribs like those of old Abraham
Confirmed for women Sarah's mitzvah for the Jew
Thereafter the young men fasted to slenderness
Their brown skin became less so and more radiant
Pubescent virgins were afraid to approach them
But Moses enjoined them to share ribs for the Lord.
Moses addressed discordant exodites saying:
"The Lord is holy therefore you should be holy
If you love the Lord his wrath will pass over you
He commands us to sacred assembly for the
Holy day and perpetual law Passover
In the first month on the 14th day at twilight
We shall celebrate the Passover of the Lord
The next day begins the feast of unleavened bread
Which in assembly you will eat for 7 days
Each day you will make an offering to the Lord
On the 1st and 7th day you will do no work
And when we migrate to that land the Lord promised
You shall wave a sheaf of your first harvest and then
Offer as holocaust a yearling lamb and wine".
Now at that time it happened the Lord commanded
The rabbi Jesus to offer as holocaust
A young white goat ladened with all the feasts of Jews
But the goat escaping into dense wilderness
The Lord's wrath commanded Jesus be crucified
Jesus women wailed, tore off their clothes, smote their breasts
Jesus devotees fasted 40 days and nights
Then adorned with palm crosses walked upon palmed roads
Thereafter in sacred assembly the people
Celebrated by feasting on Easter Sunday:
Paschal lamb roasted with garlic and rosemary
Artichokes stuffed with bread crumbs,
pine nuts, and
sausage
Bitter broccoli rabe steamed in olive oil
Flavored with garlic and pinch of hot pepper flakes
Kosher cured prosciutto di Parma and goat cheese
And for digestive assembly Zinfandel wine.
(Passter was prompted by the
coincidence of Passover
and Easter.)

The ass caparisoned with Ph.D. sheepskin
Plods the cyclical rut of social correctness
Turning millstones grinding out communist failures
Exhausted by stress of unsuccessful output
He postures in front of naïve teenage students
The offspring of bleeding poppy flower children.
Ph.D. declaims with pH acidity
Routine recitations for beloved socialism
And funeral orations for private ownership
With crescendo ululation barking grunting
Hawks placebo education to your children
Irate talking head perking sycophant status
Coryphaeus leading the commie union chorus
Capolino gnashing gums molto rapido
Pretentious peasant with red scythe cutting himself.

In Earth's sunless abyss is Pluto's underworld
Dense superheated kingdom magma cum laude
From its depths issue molten torments proclaimed by
Poisonous fumes of roiling volcanic pressure
Exhausted through vents lethal carbon dioxide
Wells up concentrating a pool of deadly gas
Polluting the deep bed of a large crater lake .
From its contaminated bottom deadly gas
Percolates up through its chemocline to surface
Where noxious bubbles pop out harmlessly in air
Maintaining the lake's dynamic balance until
A violent quake disrupts the deadly gas pool
Turning over it erupts through the lake's surface
Rocketing up and up several hundred feet
Condensing in sky to invisible death cloud
Colorless, odorless, heavier than air and
Homeward bound to its deep roots in Pluto's kingdom
It descends upon Earth like God's 11th plague
The killer cloud crawls down hills into lowlands and
Over the contoured ground from village to village
In its marauding path it suffocates all those
Oxygen dependents – insects, animals, humans
Leaving in its wake the chad of the once living
Now memorialized by lush vibrant green fields.
(Plague was prompted by our
vulnerability to natural
disasters.)

We worldwide richest and most upwardly mobile blacks
The ascendants of black slaves in America
Demand reparations from dead white slave owners
Reparations to be paid by white taxpayers
But not by ascendants of dead black slave owners
Or by African ancestors who first sold them
Today African leaders are still selling slaves
In Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Sudan.
Demonstrating with rainbow colors Crassus blacks
Those venal demagogues camouflaged nonprofit
With PR spin demand preferment and quotas
Demand your tax dollars for living while black and
Then demand brilliant bleaches to tint skin color
From black to brown, to beige, to octoroon’s straight hair
The Jesse root nourished by polarized pulses
Sprouts black racism amplified by thunder of
Mad wildebeest herds following tyrant leaders
Spartacus claiming to be emperor of Rome
Flea seizing lion, bird consuming crocodile
Large muscular Boxer reduced to docked tail stub
Secretariat nosed out by Incantatus
Poetry replaced by hip-hop inanity
+ value reduced first to 0 then –.
To Greece, Rome, Mongolia, England, France, et al
To those conquering and colonizing nations
Whose power enslaved our lowly white ancestors
Or made white immigrants indentured servant-slaves
We the living ascendants of deceased white slaves
Demand reparations from enslaving nations.

tax dollars from a fawning congress.)25Dec02
On suburban road a run over Mallard drake
Bloody remains abandoned for public viewing
Black and green iridescent necklace still intact
Its flattened body terminated by the long
Linear series of scattered bloody entrails
Sizing the window of the driver’s killing field
Squashed body exclaiming with life’s end period.
From roadside watching motionless two female ducks
Wake over the body of their deceased lover
Careful not to profane its extruded innards
In doleful waddle they circle its crushed body
Confused by its apathy console each other
Then one stands vigil while the curious other
Toddles about the dead body pecking at it
Unable to revive the drake the bereaved duck
Returns roadside resuming her waker duty
In ceremonial obeisance the two
Paired in vigil gaze upon the lifeless body
Of their former lover now in rigor mortis
Up tight stiff like duckpins or lawn ornaments they
Officiate at the somber daytime viewing
Then as reluctant jurors having decided
Turn around and waddling return to black face pond
Easing in they swim away to join the living
To duck for sustenance in the slimed black bottom
On whose surface they propagate concentric V’s.
(Road kill was prompted by a run over Mallard drake.)

In his mind museum are exhibited the
Visions of virginal Aphrodite, Venus, and
Vestal virgins, the maidens of the Thames, and the
Seductive nymphet pupil he courts and marries
All having unblemished skin of smooth white marble.
Exposed in soft northern light the creamy child bride
Above suspicion, stable as Protonica
Anxiously models for passage to lover by
Reposing naked in background of marriage bed
Approaching cautiously the artist turned critic
Sketches in mind his perception of young virgin
Gazing upon her foreground of living lovescape
Diligently examines the blushed portraiture
Of the reposing nude painted with carmine tints
Traces to abstraction her full-length nudity
Blond hair frames her peachy oval face and blue eyes
White shoulders segue past two dabs of raw umber
To smooth leggery whose slender satiny thighs
Are not crowned by the expected smooth white marble
But by nature’s down mat brushed with the luster of
Love’s prelude, her passion’s misty efflorescence.
Distressed that high art requires naked warm models
He shuns etiquette of spousal consummation
Withdrawing abandons the honeymoon chamber
Flees to Italy to wander its frigid Alps
And hide behind a wall built by stones of Venice.

for young girls.)4Nov02
When frozen pond softs and debacles to ice flow
When poled power lines warm to conduit ice drip
Then I under chilling gray clouds anxiously wait
For warm front to dispose of the polar cold mass
Stubbornly loitering in stationary front
For sun again to peek-a-boo through cloud cover
To exorcise darkness for sun’s revenant warmth.
When through my louvered window Easter sun wakes me
And budding tree ends branch out reaching for noontime
Sun’s full exposure pacifies my winter angst
And warms me with its soothing positive ions
Closing my eyes facing the massive fusion star
I strip to my waist for bathing in UV rays
Walk along the worn path of trailing arbutus
To fragrance of lavender lilac blossoms and
To the nearby patch of yellow daffodils where
Plucking one admiring its nodding velured bulb
Lap Lethe's dew from its inverted golden bell
I'm again renewed for burgeoning springtime whose
Warm breath is the shake spear of green sagittate leaves
Shinning and shimmering in the bright morning sun
While under spread of pyramidal weeping beech
Buds struggling in shade endure to bloom in late spring.
(Springtime was prompted in winter by yearning for
spring.)19Apr01
Looking at winterscape of yesterday’s ice storm
Slender tree branches in clear ice veneer bend down
Curtsying to midmorning sun whose energy
Scatters on snow crust its unphased brilliant rainbows
High in a tree its bouffant crown frizzled by ice
A squirrel jumps from its twig nest onto a branch
The tree smart hip-hop rodent losing its balance
Slides and in slipping falls 10, 20, 50 feet
Crashing with echo onto the bright crusted snow
Stunned it lies motionless in its impact crater
Recovering looking about it emerges
Tries walking and cannot, tries again but falters
Its powerful jumping rear legs are broken and
Humping under fur broken caudal vertebrae.
Determined to walk its front legs step inch by inch
Dragging along broken rear legs and hind part it
Makes a wide shallow intaglio in crusty snow
Tall trees now traumatize the crippled squirrel
Unable to walk or climb and afraid of height
It cannot feed on acorns stored in its high nest
Or forage for acorns buried under the snow
Unable to feed it crawls into a snow hole
Withdraws to fetal ball covered by furry tail
In winter sleep starving dying dreams of acorns.
Found by blue-black caw-caw crows the frozen squirrel
Is pecked clean to its mammalian skeleton
Its gravesite marked by scattered patches of gray fur.
(After an ice storm Squirrel was prompted by a
crippled squirrel laboriously dragging along its
broken rear legs and hind part over the snow.)1Jan03
In their bowers naked nymphs complained of cold wind
In dressing rooms models complain of tight schedules.
In triumphant processional exhibition
They appear single file the statuesque models
Taught by drag queens to strut and seductively sway
To carnal drum beats of fashion's auctional rites
The daughters of Sarah of Gaunt pass in review
Clicking spike heels, cross stepping for hip-snapping they
Strut femalia above pit rows of peering eyes.
In guise of nature's way the goddesses of sex
Parade dieted measured importance of
Amino acids' exquisitely folded proteins
Coded for pomping bone slender attributes they
Show off banalities of next season's fashion,
Provoked by dopamine flows for plunging necklines
They adorn vanities of fabric prints designed
For prurient soft porn to show peak-a-boo breasts.
Revealing control over self exposure they
Sternly gaze ahead to their projected egos
At strutway's end posing catatonic for print
They sternly glare directly at camera you
Inviting your ready proposition and their
Bold arrogance dares you to make a move on them
Up close you see their brazen mannequined faces
Farded with rehearsed narcissistic indulgence
Lazzarellas patronizes us with made looks.
In the performance of strutway flamboyance they
Smartly turn reversing main sequence frontals to
Boldly exhibit soft rounded empennage for
Peeps at petulant mounded backals under sheer
Then with protruding spacular wings fluttering
The moving violations of tranquility
Recede swivel-hipping to perspective exit.
Aroused voyeurs segue from gloating to dating
With agressive sorcery solicit models
Proposta: Perhaps a glass of absinthe my dear
Or pale greening of les pères Chartreux over ice?
Riposta: No thanks, I prefer the white powder.

showoff

The city’s large maw orders more money, more space
Its uncontrolled birthing a pandemic spreading
Beyond neighborhoods, precincts, and city limits
Metastasizing to surrounding countryside
Encroaching upon and replacing green pastures
Excavating for houses, septic tanks, and wells
Exuberant birthing populates a village
Spreading it encroaches first on brush then woodland
The burgeoning village increases to small town
Excavating for more houses, sewers, water
Spreading town becomes a near city a suburb
From 10 to 30 thousand, 3 cars each household
Residents commute for paychecks from the city
Leaving they escape its corrupt diversity
Enduring accidents and congested highways
Return to a reduced copy of the city.
While suburban sprawl encroaches upon wildlife
Its animals avenge eviction by pestering
Residents who deprived them of their habitat
Hundreds of marauding deer destroy property
Ravishing gardens, flowers, expensive plantings
They depreciate property’s market value
They cross property lines leaving scented trails through
Selected neighborhoods and with impunity
Pregnant doe drop miscarried Bambi’s on front lawns
Hunters need not travel to the Adirondack’s
To view prize buck they prance freely through suburbs,
Flying V formations honking their arrivals
Thousands of Canada geese invade the suburb
Fecal bombardment the corollary damage
Waddling about home sites like domestic pets they
Picnic with inherited birthright on front lawns
Their droppings despoil property and pollute ponds
In endless single file crossing busy highways
Mother geese trailed by geesecades of gray goslings
Cause traffic jams with long lines of idling cars
Impatient drivers are maddened at the delay
But there are those who ooh and aah at the zoo sight,
The same caused by flocks of scrawny wild turkeys as
They do the turkey trot crossing busy highways
Stalked not by Pilgrim Miles Standish with musket but
By an amused suburbanite with camera
She who photographed a flock of ring-necked pheasants
Led by pompous male with iridescent necklace.
City and suburban sprawls spreading together
Create a megapolis whose profuse birthing
Will suffocate residents, deplete resources
The transfer of life is the highest privilege
This is the year to declare that not all women
Should be given the reproductive privilege.
(Suburb was prompted by overpopulation in cities.)

In particle physics are bosons, fermions
Bosons are boiler plate forces gathered in gangs
Fermions individual nucleon states
Large boson gangs versus the loner fermions.
In the ballroom of tricky supersymmetry
Bosons congregate at left side of the dance floor
They are blithe women dancers wearing the same dress
Distinguished fermions are aligned at right side
They are dense men dancers in their insular states
Risking his exalted solitude a fermion
Crosses the slippery dance floor hoping to link up
Responding she departs from her sorority
Together his nucleon her electromags
So close to his dense body she appears gluon’d
Not even a neutrino could come between them
Both Einstein's and Planck's constants are compromised
In angstrom embrace the dancing partners become
The bonded odd couple with incorrect physics
Dancing to the melodies of quantum music
They shamelessly swap strokes of fields and particles
Energetic bursts absorbing and emitting
Flaring phantasmata of supersymmetry
He leads she follows and then she leads he follows
Spinning in angular momentum they deep dip
Spinning you see him then her and then you see that
He partnered with a he transgenders to a she
But she partnered with another she remains she
She dances the Lindy to waves of quantum swing
But he does right foot dragging to merengue beat
Now they’re jazzing on the floor quarking all over
They’re even exchanging electrical charges
His + is mounted on her well of loneliness
Her – becomes the shaft of cupid’s arrow
Their + and – are prefixed to Planck’s constant.
(Supersymmetry was prompted by the interactions of
bosons and fermions.)4Jul02

And then it came to pass that during World War 1
Wealthy Jews in London in sacred assembly
Offered millions of pounds in quid pro quo deal to
Succor England in fighting the war in exchange
For Judaism's homeland in Islamic land
After the was the two parties being agreed
They convened in New York City at the UN
More wealthy Jews donated more billions for the
UN's illegal Palestinian quitclaim
With bribery rights to evict them from their homes
With right to invade and seize another's homeland
Granting to Jews the land occupied by Muslims
Making correct the right of alien domain.

The rusted freighter ladened with wandering Jews
The sick, the poor, the wretched refuse of Europe
Departs for the Statue of Liberty and there
Democratic prince FDR rebuffs the Jews
Turned away the freighter called on Palestine port
First was the streaming exodus from the ship's hole
Then from the diaspora was massive influx
Once German Nazis confiscated land of Jews
Now Jews confiscate land of Palestinians
Evicting countless generations of Arabs
Taking over their birthrights, property, water
Making them refugees in their own homeland and
In converting land of Moslems to land of Jews
Palestinian land became Zionist Israel
The takeover protected by Uncle Sam who
Eagerly dons the contributed yarmulke
While campaigning for Jewish millions and block votes.

You lost tribes of Israel recently returned
Your God's land promise was heard by schizophrenics
Sarah still enslaves Hagar and Ishmael but
It's not Hagar nor Sarah, it's land and water
Talking of peace you build illegal settlements
Populating them with Americans, Russians
When kibbutzim fail you bribe more Americans
You sell us fresh water from our own wells and then
Prevent us from picking olives from our own trees
With arrogance and impunity you ignore
UN resolutions for returning our land
Your stones are onyx, pearl, and turquoise set in gold
Our stones are rubble of homes destroyed by your tanks
You are our oppressors yet none but we stone you
You respond using Uncle Sam's superpower
Our young retaliate shedding blood of martyrs
You are theocracy feigning democracy
Zionist Israel you’re The Overthrowing!
Where are the voices for justice, the voices for
Abrogating the flawed Balfour Declaration?
Warning!
Your town officials may be bribed by strangers who
With impunity take over your property
They will be protected, you will be abandoned.
(Takeover was prompted by the 1948 UN’s international conspiracy allowing diasporic Jews to take over most of Palestinian land and water, causing the conflict there.)

Composers disposed to technical notation
Orchestrate music ruled by ticktock Teutonics
Point and counter, 1 and 1', 2 and 2'
Their musical arrangements practiced and performed
By obedient concert pianists born with
Gifted digitation developed with care to
Mechanic the art of dexterous fingering
Playing music of Wolfie's neurotic tantrums
And ponderous stuttering recitativo.
Discriminating among partnered blacks and whites
Pianists perform progidious runs with fingers
Scurrying across keyboards like panicked rodents
Dominant musical energy run amuck
Up and down and again and repeating they
Perform endless variations of a statement
Its logical and recursive execution
Accompanied by a staccato hammering
Becomes the dark gravitas of pounding boredom
Pianists exaggerate performances with the
Rehearsed pained faces of masochistic reverie
Rescued only by brief rests of fingered mania
Ornamented with the bijoux of capricious chords
Lacking melody Teutonics is akin to
Kissing the bloodless lips of virtual Venus.
(Teutonics was prompted by the neurotic and unmelodious music categorized classical.)

Unknown physicals created the universe
Natural changes induced man to invent time
The inferred byproduct of physical changes
From a billion-year period to Planck’s constant
From unknown radiation cycles and black holes
Changes in + and – are reckoned in time
Current time cannot be reverted or advanced
Fast or slow changes yield fast or slow time therefore
Time machines are mathematic exercises.
Time is in bacteria, cells, and viruses
Time is in our consciousness, it’s the interval
Between a neuron’s nucleus and its axons
Our brain’s physicals bestow their controlling times
To pulse the electric circuits in our body
Time is what transpires between thinking and doing
Between hearts beating, lungs breathing, and eyes blinking
In personal stress time becomes stationary
Immovable from the dense gravity of hell.
We are the ascendants from strands of DNA
Ascendants rise from a previous condition
We are not descending to an expired era
Or descending from currency to the past or
From science back to religion, mythology
We envision ascending to a future and
In ascending inferred time is always current.
In viewing night sky we see its vast dimensions
See its wonders in saccadic surveillance and
Understand intrinsic time only by inference
Contrasted with star life human life is reckoned
In nanoseconds or life span of the May fly.
(Time was prompted by our visionary measurement
of physical changes.)27Aug02
Sight integrated with sound makes unimusic
Lacking melody it's injected into molds
Making boiler plate of standard extrusions
Labeled high fructose they disguise the bitter and
Monotonous choruses of facsimiles
Linking series of wearisome presentations
To visual vocals of voluble graffiti
Cavorting with seductive body language they
Perform weird spasmodic juvenile pantomime
Whose subculture demeans singing to sounding off
Their rhythmic spiels camouflaged like viral e-mails
Distributed to clients of music dumbed down,
For the unimusic of rap, punk rock, black rage
Musically deprived tone-deaf spectators
Spend millions supporting favorite vocalists
Battery operated herky-jerky toys
The low gutturals of rappers' lamentations
Beg for drugs to end their moaning miseries and
The loud rapping death knock on
music's battered
door
Opens it to prized but sleazy Grammy Awards.
(Unimusic was prompted by music dumbed
down for
juveniles, TV, and movies.)

In planetary order it’s 2nd from Sun
Between burning Mercury and moderate Earth
Sized the same as Earth, Venus is slightly less dense
Abandoned without a partnering satellite
Inserts itself as morning star and evening star.
Clouds of carbon dioxide, sulfuric acid
Create an impenetrable atmosphere which
Rises hundreds of miles skyscraping into space
The Sun’s intense radiation is absorbed and
Magnetroned by vaporous clouds creates high heat
Increased by greenhouse effect to superheat which
Expanded by fiery chain reaction is
Reflected back to its opaqued topography
Where extreme surface heat incinerates life forms
Where high millibars of surface pressure dense them
On Earth a 90 pound anorexic model
Is a 900 pound condensed dwarf on Venus.
In the heat of day its maverick clockwise spin
Slows to permanent siesta whose lethargy
Extends day to 243 Earth days
Overtaking in solar orbit its short year
Of only 225 Earth days
Imagine a year having less time than a day!
Venus goddess of love the most brilliant planet
Her crescent peignoir is styled by vaporous lace
Which obscures to telescopic eyes her surface
A surface mapped by radar and radio waves
Revealing that bright Venus is cosmeticked by
Relievos attending her as courtly ladies
Such as Aphrodite Terra looking down on
The craggy deep cleavage of Diana Chasma
There’s Ishtar Terra whose broad highlands are larger
Than the contiguous 48 US states
Expansive plains are dimpled by scattered craters
Rising like our Rockies is the Maxwell Montes
Nearby is Cleopatra Patera crater
The hit tokened by an abusive meteor
From without her brilliance attracts attentive eyes
But within she’s inscrutably treacherous with
Toxic compounds of carbon, chlorine, and sulfur.
(Venus was prompted by its close but uninhabitable
position next to Earth.)18Apr01
