If I can’t find it now, maybe later when my ghosts aren’t watching me They’re a paranoid lot dedicated to protecting me from myself as if I were heir to a kingdom I can’t complain because I invented them but now I can’t go any place without...

SHOWTIME FOR AN OPTOMIST

Once, somewhere in time I wanted to be noticed and appreciated So I went to the pigeons and gave them the last of my Saltines They cooed, strutted and ate them all up without even looking at me So, I went into the woods and danced beneath the trees, ending in my pirouette-- Tra-la! But the trees... Sign in to see full entry.

QUEST

Time to find the inner scale the outer has become shake-worthy the mind opts to travel as long as there are paths to follow Perhaps all this is known before seeking dimension: A story must record itself within its outer form Is there another way to have a life? Tedious the chore! But I would expect... Sign in to see full entry.

EXISTENTIALIST IN MY CLOSET

There’s an existentialist in my closet snoring in my shoe Sometimes I know his dreams better than my own because I don’t have any But I put him under my bed, once and dreamed why Buddha climbs no mountains while three Christs show me their new pockets There’s an existentialist in my closet a hermit...

THE ROAD TO SEX

IF I COULD HAVE SEX ALL DAY I’D PROBABLY GET VERY CONFUSED ALL THE ZINK WOULD BE DRAINED FROM MY BODY AND I’D SEE THE SUN AS THE MOON THEN I’D BE THE LAST MINER IN CAMP TO WATCH MY BONES FALL APART MY TONGUE WOULD WIND UP IN MY SKULL AND THAT’S WHEN MY EYES WOULD POP OUT NO, THE ROAD TO SEX IS NOT...

Its a rear and little known condition called Myapoperia. Now if you don't have a dry sense of humor (if any humor at all)--not to worry, because it only... Sign in to see full entry.

A Nite With Mr Ed ( the talking horse)

So, here I am conversating with Mr. Ed (the talking horse) whom I now quote: “This water sucks! You got something you can put into it to make it more palatable? Just measure out 1 hoof, because I don’t want to get straddled in my saddle tonite.” But Mr. Ed ain’t whining. He’s entering the other part... Sign in to see full entry.

TURTLE

The world’s too big for me I should live in my shoe! Or be a turtle Carrying my house upon my back But here I am, born into a house My ancestors built Stoking the coals of my consciousness As if I were the first to huddle Over myself in a cave Language clots the veins Like the tongue of a flame That...
