 Nice Smile
 Teeth made from beef are a source of great grief for Leif and a thief with the brief name of Queef.  Chewing with meat is a feat quite neat, but a taste far from sweet when heat makes meat excrete.  The Dentist,  an apprentice, was a Chicagoland menace. Making each venture into dentures an indentured adventure. Making each meaty teeth-clencher a thirst quencher I'm then sure.   A mouth full of...  (3/19/07)
 
 Meat in the Ground
 Toasters are boasters and otters are modest but the lotto you bought was for the wrong archipelago.  Mangy changers are deranged, sez strange Jessica Lange.  Druids love fluids but who is the wiser the Kaiser?  On rye, sir,  that miser misspelt Pfizer.   Fuck 'em.  Loosely my tooth sings of ribald rococo.  Yoko went loco and toked all my Midal in a long bong from Hong Kong with tongs from Longs...  (4/10/06)
 
 Nanotech Speckles
 Nanotech speckles form freckles electronic, bionic and fair  On my face and the space around as sound pleasing sound eeks from  the sparkles there in my glittery hair  Bear hair, cloned re-zoned to my bald scalp like carpeting the Alps like beautiful Ralph my refurbished neighbor   Breath smells clickable by choice ride on my voice butterscotch and mint lavender with a hint of plum No gum!

 Menu
 Tonsils so docile
 you can eat them like dumplings
 dumping your tummy
 on a rumpled green tongue. 
 
 Stews you can use
 to lose the blues
 if you choose
 or just deliver the news
 that Stu is here, too. 
 
 Feet of a stork
 that look like a cooked fork
 and even Mork from Ork
 would prefer them to pork. 
 
 Brains from Spain, 
 jalapenoed or plain
 but first let me explain

 Phil Spector's Hair

 Kiss me, you beast with the golden toes
 the arches of your eyebrows like a broken McDonald's sign
 the smacky wetness of your lips like the maw
 of a paint-stained flower (love me, Venus Flytrap)

 crush my bones with teeth
 chewing me like Laffy Taffy
 
 I am whole once again

 Brandy is Dandy
 Brandy is dandy
 and wine is fine
 but liquor is quicker
 and vodka divine. 
 
 Gin makes you sicker
 and slows down your ticker
 when you pull down your knickers
 so more freely to bicker.
 
 Thunderbird

 and Night Train

 to carry some of that good stuff to my heart.

 My Love is Like an Orange
 My Love is Like an Orange, 
 all shiny and orange
 and filled with a citrus burst

 My love is not like porridge

 For my love is like an orange

 Bugger, nothing rhymes with orange. 
 
 Nevermind. 
 
 My Love is Like Silver

 Blown by the Sun
 The night air like a cheese, perfumed with sea water
 A blocky, leaky, laggy cheese coating us all
 We the three of us tramp through Panama City
 Selling fake insurance policies for a dollar to
 The tourists
 
 The cops roust us here and there, upon catching sight of seersucker suits
 A tighty, sticky, stocky kind of faded brown material
 Each of us is having the time of his life, or the other's

 Motherfucker Goose
 There was an old woman who 
 lived in a shoe 
 she had so many children 
 she didn't even have to work
 I had to support them all
 because she's a liar
 
 Old Mother Hubbard
 went to the cupboard
 to get her poor dog a bone
 I porked the old crow
 but don't let my friends know
 it was, like, 4 a.m.
 and I hadn't been lucky all night
 
 As I was going to St. Ives
 I met a man with seven wives

 Quadrophonia
 Love is a many-splendored thing

 "Ding-dong, the witch has snacks, 
 that Rax hires blacks

 Which old witch? 
 Fool, how many witches you know? 
 Shiiiit." 
 
 Felt manacles felt fantastical
 when I was bound

 with a love for fudge,
 not my dirty neighbor who mooned the judge).

 Popular Road
 I rode a horse on a winding path 
 And saw before me, though I'm bad at math 
 The path became two roads ahead 
 One rocky and coarse, a bitch to tread
 
 The safer course, apparent to sight 
 Was clean-cut and easy, a porridge "just right" 
 With either path my choice to choose 
 I took the path less apt to bruise
 
 Yes, I took the road well-traveled 
 And my seams kept sewn, my sweater stayed...  (2/7/05)
 
 The Road to Budokan
 On the road to Budokan
 I met a man named Rama Dan.
 And Rama Dan had a dog
 named Frog,
 who hopped like the same. 
 Frog also wore
 a green polystyrene suit,
 serving to make
 the resemblance more acute. 
 Frog didn't know what a frog was
 or that his way of moving,
 for a dog, was
 quite strange and notably unique. 
 Or that a proper frog should ribbet,
 not squeak.
 
 Frog could be said

 Paris Hilton can kiss my ass,
 since when is that bitch
 the Head of the Class? 
 That greasy skank's a Dennis
 who can't bring no menace.
 
 That's if she even knows
 what an ass is!
 Man, I've got an ass that surpasses,
 she barely even has one herself.
 You couldn't rest a dime on that shelf.

 I'm going on a new diet! 
 
 Now don't deny it, 
 you know you wanna try it!
 Because a diet's way easier to do
 when the whole big world's
 on it with you!
 
 Gonna lose that baby fat
 that's been lurking around my tummy
 like a tapeworm
 wrapped 'round a mummy!
 No more fat hanging around my belly
 like an unwelcome bowl full of jelly! 
 
 And my new diet's political too! 
 No more...  (12/6/04)
 
 Peace Frog
 There's blood in the streets,  
 there's meat on these sheets.  
 What am I, sleeping with a butcher? 
  
 Napping on crazy wax paper 
 wrapped in crap vapors 
 dreaming of walking on gongs 
 past a sleeping pitbull.
  
 Goddamn is this song loud 
 carpeting the air 
 like a plumber who woke up 
 and forgot what his goddamned job was 
 and just started carpeting everything.  
 Crazy fuck.

 Dromediary
 Long and hairy luminaries
 hang from the sky and dangle scary
 fingers downward in repose
 just itching to twitch and pick my nose.
 
 Prescient crescents—
 the cartoon moons

 as I burp softly in my sleep.
 
 Luminous cumulous
 clouds form a shroud
 around "Downtown" Julie Brown
 who just stopped by to make a sound

 Whistlepig
 Loud and sweet,
 the howling of the whistlepig
 erects my nipples like
 sails taut in the wind.
 
 Sailfish taught me to win
 by cheating at cards,
 like a cardinal at charms

 Whistlepig, whistlepig,

 caught by the hair
 on your skinny tin fin.

 I Am the Girl From Nantucket
 Since I believe my good name and hometown have been slandered long enough, I've endeavored to best (and hopefully replace) the famous ribald limerick that has dogged my earthly days.
   
 Stand back and smell the magic:  
 
 There once was a girl from Nantucket, 
 Her anatomy oft compared to a bucket; 
 Unfair was the claim 
 Made against this fair dame, 
 Did I mention her name was...

 What If?
 What if the sky revolves around the earth,  like a player-piano roll  cranked by a troll  that looks disturbingly like former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl?   What if pineapples were alive?  What if they are?  How do you feel about cracking open their spiny skulls  and feeding on their juicy, delicious yellow brains  now that you know?  I thought so.   What if Africa turned out not to be a place at...  (5/31/04)

 The hyenas of Sunset Boulevard chew on my taint
 like bubblegum in the mouth
 of the oldest spoiled daughter
 of this widow I've been screwing for beer money. 
 
 Nasty ravens chomping on my eyeballs like pimento olives
 at the dog track. 
 Run, you shitbreathed little mutt! 
 Did I really bet my last five bucks
 on this three-legged Shi Tsu? 
 
 I gotta stop drinking Bicardi.

 Hungry Like a Wolf
 I'm hungry like a wolf
 that just ate a whole
 big-ass bag of Purina
 but then he saw something
 really funny and was
 laughing so hard
 he barfed it all up. 
 
 Dark in the city, night is a wire, 
 steam in the subway, earth is a fire. 
 Holy shit, how can I think about eating at a time like this? 
 But it doesn't matter, you can't
 teach a wolf not to be so goddamned selfish. 
 
 A wolf is like...  (4/5/04)

 but I thought I was eating chips

 I was all crazy

 Because God don't love you no more

 I Bought This Memory
 I bought this memory at Walgreens,
 it was discounted heavily. 
 With it implanted I settled back
 to enjoy my reverie.
 But to my dismay I soon realized
 why this memory had been spurned. 
 It was of eating a stale club sandwich
 whose mayonnaise had turned!
 
 I took it right back for a refund, 
 but the Chinese clerk he protested. 
 He asked for proof, by way of receipt
 for the memory I'd...  (1/12/04)
 
 Glass I
 I once had a glass I
 and in case you're reading this
 out loud to someone
 I feel the need to clarify. 
 
 Not a glass eye
 as in an eyeball made of glass,
 a creepy hazel doodad
 staring frozen in impasse. 
 
 Nor some tricky
 eye-sized marble
 clenched within your skull cavity, 
 designed expressly by the glass man to mask your deformity. 
 
 But rather an entire me made of glass.

 Lonely Cloud
 I wandered lonely as a cloud, 
 it was Halloween and I had about
 sixty pounds of cotton
 glued to my leotards. 
 And nobody wanted to trick or treat
 with a kid
 who was dressed up like a that. 
 Needless to say, being seven sucked bad. 
 The stars shone down
 like Christmas lights
 all flashing in crazy sequences
 that made me nauseous
 and I got sick on the tree stand. 
 That was on Christmas,...  (12/8/03)

 On golden gilded lapis lazuli

 Byzantine tattoos on his brain

 A Chicano girl named Rosa Parks

 All around the Crunchberry bowl
 the monkey chased the weasel. 
 The monkey thought it was

 until "POP!" goes the weasel! 
 The fucking weasel exploded,
 I'm not kidding. 
 It was fuckin' raunchy.
 
 Up and down the hallway stairs

 The monkey liked to give 'im a scare
 then "POP!" went the weasel.
 
 Goddammit monkey!

 he replied as he spied a crustacean.
 
 So at last we'd found it,

 Real, and true?
 Nobody! But you were...  (10/13/03)
 
 The Insomnia of Ransom Ripple
 Ransom Ripple's twisted nipples
 kept him from his sleep. 
 The night was long, 
 as Ransom's thong
 straight up his ass would creep.
 
 An incessant dripping
 at his ears was nipping,
 as it echoed from the sink. 
 "This noisy room 
 will be my doom!" 
 was all that he could think.
 
 The words to a song,
 like a clanging gong,
 rang and jiggled his brain.

 Lovely limping little lepers

 What Holds It All Together
 I'm careful with my stapler--
 I use it when I have to,
 but I try not to be wasteful,
 lest the staples disappear
 
 I rarely use my Scotch tape;
 most things have to be stapled.
 I use paperclips aplenty,
 but my tape might last all year
 
 The rubber bands are useful--
 I find I use them daily.
 Though binder clips are better,
 I can't always find them here
 
 Those paperclips I spoke of

 Loosely Ted did wet the bed,
 though none of the

 Not even when Teddy, 
 his day wrecked already, 
 wet the pillow with one salty tear.
 
 The bedroom was silent
 while in calculations violent
 Theodore did ponder his fate. 
 Then spirit intravenous
 did stoke up his genius
 as he realized it wasn't too late.
 
 He dressed in a flurry
 as to indicate the hurry

 And this other dude 
 Had a brother who'd
 Frenched a seal in the slimy sea! Gross!

 And fat kids who eat ding dongs
 Until they've got a King Kong ass!

 Sleeping deeply, Major Fleeping
 rose though no alarm was beeping
 and made a sandwich of apple cores,
 which he chewed between the snores.
 
 Incessantly talking while sleepwalking,

 The rain falls wet like
 sloppery skittles
 from the mouth of a
 stupid dog.
 
 The beautiful rain,
 it coats the trees
 like sex lubricant.
 But that's where
 the rivers come from.
 
 The rain slides down the trees
 like sweat down the crack of your ass
 and puddles on the ground
 where a child could drown
 if it were sleeping or hog-tied
 or just plain stupid.
 
 Those puddles slink

 The Color of My Blade Is Chartreuse
 Who can compare
 the green of a sunset
 to the gray of a ham? 
 Or the scarlet water that trickles down
 very nearly without a sound
 as the brown sky spans overhead…
 Have truer words been said?
 
 The vivid purple blood
 that gushes from a wound
 is beautiful on the crimson grass
 and the amber skin of an expiring lass. 
 Striking, like a baboon's blue ass.

 Whose woods are these,

 I think they belong 
 To that guy named Joe
 Who lives down the street 
 From Peggy and Ray
 And set his own pants
 On fire one day.
 He was sniffing lighter fluid
 In the dark
 When he lit a match
 And his pants caught a spark
 That scorched his scrotum
 And sizzled his jizz;
 That's who owns them.
 These woods are his.

 The time has come, 
 the walrus said, 
 to eat some more grilled cheese.
 
 Fuck you walrus! 
 You ate...  (2/17/03)
 
 The Truth About Ice Cubes
 I've heard ice cubes scream
 like unpleasant human beings
 when I dunk them into my drink. 
 I'd say they're alive, don't you think?
 
 Formed in their trays like a nursery, 
 living their lives brief and cursory, 
 but is everything quite what it seems? 
 What do they dream in their cold, frozen dreams?
 
 What could they teach us, 
 if we were to listen, 
 mesmerized by the glean of their...  (2/3/03)
 
 Frombnabula 7
 Orange crush skies crush down upon 
 Frombnabula 7 
 and the space crew thereon: 
 Phinneas Wilbur, the captain of late, 
 and Gumfrey McDumfrey, 
 his faithful first mate, 
 and Rooter, and Bramble, 
 and John-Boy Perdue 
 and six other guys 
 dressed in cobalt blue.
 
 Their orders were simple:
 explore and report. 
 "And don't explode," 
 thought John-Boy Perdue with a snort 
 (he thought...  (1/20/03)
 
 Tits are in the Eye of the Beholder
 I think that I shall never pass a poem as lovely as an ass or a verse that weighs as heavy as a buck-naked supermodel  straddling a Chevy How could course words  ever capture the heaven of the classic Maxim issue #7?  No match has a poet's mind thought for the work God  and boob doctors hath wrought on the chest of some milky-white maiden a blank canvas now silicone-laden How could Wordsworth ...  (1/6/03)
 
 Lunch Money
 Listen up, Billy Olson
 I'm a drink you up like Molson
 make you sing like a fat Al Jolson
 grab your tits and milk 'em both, son.
 
 'Cause you messed
 with the best
 I confess
 it's no test
 I am the real thing
 you will know the hurt I bring
 forget this skirt, I am the King
 of your pudgy white ass
 they'll put your cheeks in a cast
 for six to eight weeks
 and the chicks who hate geeks
 will...  (12/23/02)
 
 Thug Life
 You can take your poetry class
 grind it into a meatball 
 and cram it up your ass
 Mr. Costenoble, 
 you fruity pebble prick.
 
 And Health teacher, 
 I'm warning you 
 to mind your own girth
 I could out-eat you 
 since long before birth
 I had a twin brother 
 way back in the womb
 "I ain't hoggin' the food tube, 
 get the hell out my room!" 
 He ain't around no longer, you want to be next?

 Spastic Gastric Function
 "Spastic Gastric Function"
 is the social event of the year, 
 bathe your Clydesdales in lite beer... 
 Homeo-apathy as a viable career?
 
 Flaccid pansies? I'd eat them gladly. 
 Anteaters play clarinets,
 from the trunks of blue corvettes, 
 the gentlemen have placed their bets.
 
 Take your chances
 on pairs of pantses
 that look lovely when they're nuzzled
 between the ass cheeks of male...  (11/25/02)
 
 The Spell of My Love
 T is for the time we spend, 
 each day like a minute going too fast;
 
 H is for the heart I give, 
 for the love inside I have gladly amassed;
 
 O is for the order, 
 my life is my own with you in it;
 
 N is for the nurturing, 
 because you my growth knows no limits;
 
 G is for the giving, 
 I'll give until all there is is gone;
 
 Together it spells thong, 
 won't you at least try it on?

 TV REPAIR
 Fat patterns pulsing in stitches of static erratic and plastic,  the spastic display.  With a bang and a kick and a "cheap motherfucker!"  an emergency side-slapping repair is performed.  The picture then jittered and shimmied and quivered then twisted all sideways,  the image deformed.  With a hearty "hiya!"  like the best fake karate pissed off fists of fury rained down on the set.  A homemade...  (10/28/02)
 
 Claw
 A quick
 short walk
 to the beach
 you wear
 your blue bikini
 blue like
 my heart
 blue like
 my teardrops
 and almost I
 can see the nipples
 your boobs, not
 my heart or teardrops
 
 We walk,
 hand in hand
 and one more hand
 like the hand of love
 a third-wheel who
 won't take a hint
 we sit
 in sand
 sand in my shorts
 ass crack! 
 You complain
 it's cold
 why must you
 ruin everything?
 
...  (10/14/02)
 
 Invent It!
 I will invent it!
 
 A mendable, bendable tube
 that will heal any wound
 and smell like the moon
 for only half a dubloon!
 
 A meteor catching net
 that plays DVDs
 and warms up your knees
 and always asks please
 when you forget to 
 because you are an asshole.
 
 A robot that picks the nuts out of trail mix
 and the raisins and nasty bits of cereal
 and those dusty little pretzels that taste...  (9/30/02)
 
 Mrs. The Pope
 I'll elope with the Pope
 on a Sunday in Spain,
 and I hope that the dope 
 won't pick a day when it rains. 
 For though the walrus and crow 
 might find it refreshing, 
 the sugar-drop people would melt 
 right through the chairs' meshing.
 And the rest of the guests 
 won't think it so smashing, 
 the vows we espouse 
 drown out by their teeth gnashing! 
 But then I'll be famous! As famous as...  (9/16/02)
 
 God Only Nose
 A nose is a nose is a nose.
 Wouldn't one by any other name smell
 just as well? 
 What the hell. 
 Call it a hogglebottom
 and it still smells the sweets. 
 Call it a snot locker, 
 still a nose-shaped hunk o' meat
 stapled to your face right where God intended. 
 Just think if your cheeks were where your face ended! 
 How strange! How ugly! How inconvenient! How loathe! 
 Why, if you had to...  (9/2/02)
 
 Marmalade and Lace
 Marmalade and lace,
 I step on your face
 as you draw back your bow. 
 Where's the arrow? I don't know.
 
 These lovers' games without names…
 or at least maybe they should be. 
 "Drunken Pump" robs my dignity, 
 couldn't we call it "Double Indemnity"?
 
 You Probe me with your Ford
 while I hum My Sweet Lord
 and your Contours I memorize. 
 My good name you blasphemise!
 
 We meet in the...  (8/19/02)
 
 My New Lifestyle
 Monday, August 5, 2002
 If I could ever be
 as free as a tree, 
 I'd pee only Brie. 
 My neighbors would see
 the beauty of me.
 
 I'd sing like a duck
 and have all the good luck. 
 I'd dance for a buck
 and sleep in a truck
 I bought for a buck
 and I'd laugh "Nyuk nyuk nyuk."
 
 What a beautiful day! 
 I almost wish I was gay
 and I lived in L.A. 
 What more can I say? 
 What a wonderful life...  (8/5/02)
 
 State of the Union Jack
 Random parables are wearable 
 surf sluts speak of Sarin gas 
 like a bubble from Hitler's ass 
 America's flying at half-mast
 
 Conspirators eat beer and s'mores
 while Dutch elves poison naked bears
 nobody cares what the emperor wears
 as long as he curtsies when he swears
 
 Ugly duckling nipple-suckling 
 foreigners with blonde toupees 
 cheering for the Oakland A's 
 suffering through...  (7/22/02)
 
 Your Honor
 A little dog choked on a draidel, a ladle, a can of beef stew and a wicker kazoo.
 
 His owner, a loner from Kalamazoo, in a wrath drew a bath that he filled up with glue. The soup of white goop he stirred with an oar and what's more he added the dog and a log and a piece of the floor. He stirred it with vigor and vim and panache, until he was spent and broke out in a rash.
 
 The concoction he...  (7/8/02)
 
 Space Pioneers
 Life on earth did not much agree
 with Rufus McGee 
 and Magilicutty Sneed. 
 Two young boys, American as can be: 
 American as trees, or Apples Dupree. 
 On summer days they dreamed, 
 on winter nights they schemed, 
 lying there on their 
 flat-slanted backs, 
 staring up at 
 the clouds in great number, 
 shivering and cursing 
 the humorless cold, 
 and wishing they hadn't slept through...  (6/24/02)
 
 Do Not Disturb
 Combustible rustable 
 grannies come marching
 in waves from the caves 
 with their zinc eyebrows arching, 
 in tunics with tonics 
 electric on their lips, 
 cities of biddies descend on our ships.
 
 "Great Montezuma!" 
 cried Macbethle Macwire
 as the deck pitched to starboard 
 and the riggings caught fire. 
 "We'll be beaten and eaten 
 and forced to buy crafts! 
 I'll boil the oil while you...  (6/10/02)
 
 Dinner Date
 Swizzle-stick me in a jar, 
 mastodons in foreign cars. 
 Oh what lovely
 buggering bubbly
 sex shows on starships tonight!
 
 Chew up those rancid tulips
 like I know you want to, Stone Phillips. 
 Belching out butterflies, 
 watching them flutter by, 
 gastric delights hued in blue.
 
 Don't be so dumb, 
 dressed up and down in that bubblegum. 
 Don't you know you're the queen? 
 Practical...  (5/27/02)
 
 Drink a Toast to the Liver
 Consider once
 The lonely liver
 Liver of a life deemed lower
 By those organs hip and trendy
 Who might be smaller or more bendy
 
 Consider twice
 The noble liver
 Throbbing like a might river
 Toiling in the depths and murky
 When we drink too much Wild Turkey
 
 Consider thrice
 The liver proper
 Filtering out those vodka poppers
 The Benzadrine, horse tranquilizers
 Of all the organs, you're...  (5/13/02)
 
 The Rickles
 The Rickles like tickles 
 and pickles and pee.
 The Zicklers are sticklers
 for conformity.
 The Mounces eat rayguns, 
 the Olaffs smoke brie,
 Where did they all come from?
 Beats the crap out of me.
 
 I once wed a Shloopa
 'neath the Caspian moon,
 He wooed me with riddles
 and Caspian tunes,
 His body was tattooed with Caspian runes,
 He would have been perfect, 'cept he came too soon.
 
 An...  (4/29/02)
 
 Midnight Snack
 All the summer dumplings want to eat me alive,
 I get a hostile greeting even before I arrive!
 Oh me oh my, I've pissed off the pie!
 What an unfortunate fate!
 Why'd I have to delve into the custard so late?
 
 Now my gentle dreamland has been turned all amiss,
 Not a single baby here to give me a kiss!
 No hills made of quilts, no drummers on stilts,
 My dreamscape has gone all wrong!
 Goodbye...  (4/15/02)
 
 Naomi, I Moan
 A slut nixes sex in Tulsa --
 "Sex at noon taxes."
 Evil I did dwell, lewd did I live,
 Pull up if I pull up!
 Dammit, I'm mad!
 Dennis and Edna sinned!
 Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
 Don't nod,
 Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.
 
 Reviled did I live, said I, as evil I did deliver --
 Lived on Decaf, faced no Devil --
 Murder for a jar of red rum.
 Red rum, sir,...  (4/1/02)
 
 Bummer
 Silent ducks are deafening
 Kansas in the crapper
 Can you burn an effigy
 While plugging in the clapper?
 
 Loneliness is like a shoe
 Or maybe like a beaver
 Kind of wish that waitress chick
 Had chose me over Stever.
 
 People stand and look at me,
 Their eye-holes full of eyes
 Maybe they're the ones like beavers
 Digging for a prize.
 
 Emptiness is like a boat
 Full of lots of nothing
 Go...  (3/18/02)
 
 Have You Ever Loved?
 Have you ever loved
 like the whistling wind
 of a barn swallow's nostril-hole?
 Have you ever lived
 like a merchant prince
 on quiche and curry dumplings?
 I think not.
 
 Have you ever stared
 into the face of time
 like a fearless mutant hunchback
 with a huge sword and a locket around his
 neck that contains a picture of a tulip?
 Ha, I find it truly unlikely.
 
 Have you ever sung
 the song...  (3/4/02)
 
 Elephant Wings
 An elephant is a beast
 With tiny wings, to say the least.
 By tiny wings, I mean so small
 Some would say 
 elephants have none at all.
 Nor would they claim 
 that it's mouth hangs
 All menacing with silver fangs.
 And few would say
 That elephants float.
 And some would claim
 It's 'cause they don't.
 
 But who can know an elephant,
 All mysterious and stealthy?
 And who's to say they don't...  (2/18/02)
 
 The Land and the Sea
 The land is in love 
 with the sea, you see?
 And drinks it in 
 nightly and day (time).
 When the land it breathes in,
 The ocean runs to him,
 And when he exhales
 The sea runs away.
 His doctor says "Ocean! 
 You stop this at once!
 Your sodium intake is absurd!
 Have you tried switching to rainwater once,
 Mixed with the occasional bird?
 Be sensible man, you can't keep this up!
 Your blood...  (2/4/02)
 
 When I Was Nine
 When I was nine 
 I had a very fine time
 and a very fine time had me.
 I bothered no one 
 as I high-fived the sun
 and I slept in a mulberry tree.
 
 When I was eight 
 I went on a date
 with the moon 
 and the stars 
 and the Venus.
 We went out to eat 
 and the moon treated me sweet
 until I refused to touch his thingy.
 
 When I was seven
 and the night was eleven
 we went on a cruise to...  (1/21/02)
 
 Dreamin' in Dreamland
 I'm dreamin' a dream of a dream
 I once had
 about a dream that I had once before
 
 The one where the fish flip and follow 
 each other
 diving deep in the dark down below
 
 The one where I'm swimming
 safe and secure
 sailing a salt-silent sea
 
 The one where I'm dreaming I'm 
 dreaming I'm dreaming
 and three times I can't wake up
 
 The one where the waves wash 
 the walls all around me
 or...  (1/7/02)
 
 Sunflake
 Oh, to be a phantom sunflake resting on the bile. A single, golden, shining sunflake, gurgling in the Nile. An elf's aorta, a unicorn's anus— none could be as sweet. As to be a lonely sunflake munching on a leek.  Rainbows tease me, ogres please me, dragons wax my car. But to be a perfect sunflake would take the cake by far.  When the grass is green like acid-washed jeans and the faeries are...  (12/24/01)
 
 The Visitors
 Snooty bugle-playing burglars Why do you bother me? Go to hell, you naked buglers Cease your melody.  Who invited uncooked hamhocks All these pigs I see?

 Distraction
 Fifteen phantom penpoints
 All under my control
 I move them deftly, swiftly smearing
 ink upon a single slice of paper.
 
 Sixteen sweatered titties
 Distracting me so simply
 from my fifteen phantom penpoints
 Nothing worthwhile written, once...  (11/26/01)
 
 Shuns
 Who has been flushing your worldly possessions?
 Replacing your wardrobe with out-of-date fashions?
 Making your schnauzer do Nixon impressions?
 Squeezing your neighbors for seedy confessions?
 Coating your lips with pre-cancerious lesions?
 Showing you slides of infected abrasions?
 Accusing your mother of being a Russian?
 Filling your mind with intemperate passions?
 Splitting your food into...  (11/12/01)
 
 The Waistland
 April be the month that's meaner
 Than a shot of carburetor cleaner
 Or an icy, uncooked wiener
 Said the raven: "Ned's a Whore".
 
 "Ain't my lookout," said the genie,
 in a voice so tiny, teeny
 Ned thought it a baby, beanie
 And burned down the store just to be safe.
 
 The chair he sat in, folded nicely
 But his bits were getting icy
 There ice fishing by the Diner
 Should have brought his...  (10/29/01)
 
 The Crab
 "I'm only ingesting asbestos in jest,"
 said the tapdancing monkey with blood on his vest;
 I told him that I didn't think it was funny.
 "Who says you know funny, you ignorant fuck?"
 he said with a sneer, and I urged him to suck
 my cock, because he's not getting my money.
 
 At these words he paused, and dabbed at the blood
 which flowed from his nose in an unfettered flood;
 a honey bear...  (10/15/01)

 Hairy Walnuts
 I fed my cat some hairy walnuts
 My poor kitty doesn't like hairy walnuts
 I forced the cat to eat those nuts
 and then I watched him puke them up
 He ran away when he was done
 and hasn't come back yet
 I don't think he ever will
 that stupid cat
 I never liked him anyway
 He made me sneeze and he made my eyes itch
 I used to buy the most expensive food
 By the time he left I was down to buying...  (7/16/01)
