American
small irregular steps, like a little kid top-toeing towards a cookie jar, his jar a lonely lady buried in her latest ‘good read’ behind her now, his hands eclipse light, ‘guess who’ **** you’ she moans. his fat *** teeter-totters on the chairs face, his eyes catch her shut book, denoting a ****** title, laughing he jokes about windmill dunking it in the tableside wastebasket scoffing as she claws at the book, before 180 dunking it in her bag, which resembles a shelter for some petty, puny & pathetic dog she bibble babbles blah blah, his eyes entranced on her chest hoping the slightest bump will blast her ***** through her blouse like an airbag. distracted by bowels, he debates cutting cheese. gas leaks through a forest of *** hair. overpriced coffee odors mask the lingering stench as it floats like a boat through espresso & cappuccino airways; docking my attention to a tech boy blinded by his desktop. to infatuated to notice the pair of blushing blue eyes blessing him from a corner table. an old man at his starboard laughs as he clings to his cane like it’s the decaying hand of his deceased wife.

Coffee House Sketch
like a hot-wheel guided by a holy hand above, he makes impossible feats as if the car creates the road, his free hand is just as busy making fanatic gestures to guide scrambled linguistics or it rests out the window seeking a courtship with the wind clasping the door handle, wide-eyed the passenger rides safely adjacent to Fear, but at every turn Momentum carries Fear deep into the heart where its is pumped via veins, icing the body with awe inspiring visions. Visions controlled by the last true American Driver. He drives like only a thief can, poised by paranoia, pure thrill achieved only through the drive, race or getaway. in a past life, Neal was a great Outlaw outrunning potbelly sheriffs to plump on the saddle to rival the great horsemen of their day he’d chase trains down, taming and taunting them with speed and skill. or perhaps he was a horse himself. a terrific thoroughbred bluegrass fed. tritting trotting his way to a Triple Crown. trainers fed him Benzedrine to gage the beast. they feared he would run through the finish line and straight across the country like a maniacal madman looking for the last true road

Ode to Neal Cassady
Danimal Dan was Green, reusing every hand-me-down the dumpster offered. stipend half our middle class allowance, so the Danimal could get his fix in unison with ours. slab dual twenties in his oily callous hands. while sluggin N’ sloshin’ his cheap wine, the Danimal returns heroic, with red lips and pink teeth, handing us “licka” boasting new apocalyptic theories the sky is full of creatures, deys plottin’ yessir, pilots known for years, but Big Washington Wiggies, keep Uhmmmm zipped, yessir hired dem creatures, “population control” to **** eat America leaving only the Finest. the Danimal’s vision flashes, giant winged Salamanders kamakazie dive from the sky. fat white collar Cons offer bribes as they **** fantastic fear all over their linen pants. some auction children as the Danimal arrives with an army of America’s finest staggering out of back alley bars & soup kitchens they shake Salamander hands Slurring welcome with Bourbon breaths

America's Finest
stubborn stoic functionally drunk my Papa embodied all three his military hands were hard & he trapped us in these vices. “pretty please” we’d scream, adding sugar on top was the path to freedom Beatlebomb was the horses name, we were jockeys bouncing up & down on his knee. Beatlebomb never lost, but Bourbon bread an early retirement Once Jim Beam pushed Papa…plow! Ol’ Beatlebomb brusied and feeble fell short. Like the liquor, Papa puddled the floor. quit boozing! Pretty please-sugar on top. his hand harassed the bottle “maybe later”
