Repeated mewing
the same question – why my god?
cry the damned to sleep

I let joy go free
small wings crumble easily
even sadness dies

The porch swing’s last ride
shadows swung on wooden slats

Love on
the rocks can be
very painful, she said
wouldn’t you rather make love on
the grass?

Love endures
spilt coffee
ocean waves
drowning

Hands don’t seem to dirty in Hollywood
even if the character’s a farm hand
you can’t stay that clean if you work the land
just a bit too polished, no one’s that good
they shovel manure
with a manicure
pose a bit too coiffed
when they’re being boffed
rarely sweat or burp or sneeze or pass gas
in drama I’m saying, not comedy
that’s different, everything goes, it’s carefree
even die-oh-rear coming out one’s ass

Somebody broke into my car last night
stole my rolling papers plus my 8-track
so I guess it was an old-school hippy
as such, when she’s caught, I’ll cut her some slack

By the time you blink
now – before you grasp it’s gone
life conceals itself
Two real eyes gaze out
emit light with no body
life intoxicates
Seemingly demur
but then a seductive grin
blows a kiss my way

Evil is barely contained
shrouded in its grin
Exposed long lean legs
wrapped around your hips and face
undulating tongues
It knows what to do
ego strokes your libido
it’s power and sex
Alienation
it’s dehumanization
lost in the garden
Must awaken We
I’m sure We’d hate to miss it
being the last show
