Peck’s Freudian Slip

Peck’s Freudian Slip Hard by Fulton, the John approached But faced a Wall from the Street walker He didn’t need to be stiffed By Carmine’s drinks, Water From such a Broad, when he gave her Liberty from Maiden Lane, But that William Hanover Square Gives her a Pearl, and now She is harder to pick up...

Norcross Khan (a fragment)

Norcross Khan (a fragment) In Xanadu did Norcross Khan A costly overrun decree Where the Passaic River ran Through traffic measureless to man Down to a swamp city So twice five miles of fertile ground With malls and parking were girdled round And there were storefronts bright with sinuous signs...

The Breath Police

The Breath Police The Breath Police are on the prowl Monitoring my C-O-2 Then stealing my breath away if they deem My fealty is overdue.
