A siren rings

A siren rings in minds and aloud
all jump to post or clothes or wakefulness.
Invasion, error, drill or
something.
Whatever.
He hits the floor before he is fully awake and is pulling on clothes and checking gear
as instructions come through.
Anomaly b24
Oh shit,
she is on that watch.
He runs up the grass hill to the concrete block that is b24.
Through the window he sees her and her watch-mate struggling in a purple haze.
Oh fuck.
All thought flees.
The source!
He turns and runs down to it,

Written

written

 

My chewed lips reek
like a printing press
of unseen word formations
discovered on a blind
man’s Rosetta Stone.

I have a blind man’s walk
and no need of a stick.
The earth and empty spaces
parking lots
chattering malls
tap me on in
mocking inarticulacy.

I need no guide dog
lights and soft pop songs
gossip about my
anonymity in dreams.

Destiny

Destiny
Do you know where you are going to
Listen to your heart it will lead you through
Deep inside there is a queen
A beautiful woman that is unseen
Living a life that is full of pain
Your eyes are full of tears and strain
Dry your eyes be of good cheer
Your time is coming and it is near
You are a warrior full of courage
Life is not fair, so dont get discouraged
Love and happiness are cherished within
Your guardian angel is your friend
Wisdom, love, and happiness is all you need
Take these tokens as a seed

O

this afternoon

 

my mouth formed its O

at the end of saying,

 

to my fine friend,

a friendly hello …

 

twice today

my face O’d …

 

the first was

this morning,

 

when I begged

for the loan

 

of his commode.

Jesuit McNitt

the carpenter,

a prominent Jesuit

 

by name of Tom McNitt,

 

did his requisite

quite handy bit,

 

most anyone would admit:

 

he worked at that damn kitchen

sink too long and hard,

 

then made the counterfeit

lost cheer

so sweet she was,

the little girl

with golden curl—

 

and fidgin fain

 

on divinin’ soon,

on that very day,

a bit of sunny play …

 

she shortly lost

 

her cheer,

I fear, 

on account

 

of dogged rain

cat cow hog fish

hey piddle piddle,

the cat played her fiddle

 

while the cow leapt

onto the boom …

 

the little hog laughed

to see such daft—

 

while the fish made off

with Britt Hume

can't or won't

I write for fun

and to

 

entertain …

 

further’n that I can’t—

or won’t—

 

explain …

 

though I do

acknowledge that

 

in the main

 

because of such

I am quite much …

 

apt to bypass

c’mercial publishers’

 

eminent domain

Louis Spicolli - UPDATED

Louie Spicolli
left the ring far too early
when his mother went sick
and his coping had stopped.
A babyface jobber
for most of his life,
a babyface heel,
who dated Madonna
under a mask.
It happened in Lubbock
before I was born
when Mike Dibiase
collapsed in a heap
with Man Mountain Mike.
Maybe we forgot
Alberto and Ox
with all of the glitz.
It’s Kayfabe, they said.
It’s the same scenery
with different names,
but Louie won’t be
on Nitro tonight.
What’s going on in Texas
with Fritz’s children?
