fish of pain

the human brain
is 80%
water

therefore
my skull
is a
bone aquarium

overcrowded
w/fish
of pain

i sprinkle
flakes of poetry
on the surface

they chomp
the words

which only
turn to thread
shaped turds

further polluting
the already
murky bowl

BAH!AMERICA!

a japanese saying
goes: "you should
see the AH! in
things..."

i see "the AH!
in things"
sometimes

but most of
the time i see
"the BAH! in
things"

how could you
not
in america?

can one see
the AH! in
the smog over
new york city?

can one see
the AH! in
a police cruiser
waiting to
ambush a driver?

can one see
the AH! in
all the pavement
that smothers
the earth?

in consumerism
in alarm clocks
in cell phone towers
in skyscrapers
in traffic
in banks
in bogus holidays
in billboards
in mickey mouse

etc...

BAH!AMERICA!

a case of death

there are
twenty-four ribs
just beneath
yr torso meat

a 12-pack on
each side

a case of death
surrounding
yr heart

can you swallow
this,
so to speak

or will you
sip the fruity umbrella drinks
of denial
This blog is updated irregularly and has nothing to do with the poet's output. The poet is actually disturbingly prolific. He writes about 5 poems per day. The pages are everywhere, even stacked in the bathtub.
