I sing the body electric.
I sing the body augment.
I sing the body eclectic.
Not too far away.

Cybernetic     electric     Nanite.
Life imitating science.
Science imitating  art.
Art imitating  life.

I sing the body electric.
Till the circle falls apart.

Man has the power to
Engender greatness and to
Persevere while
Holding great burdens upon his shoulders.
In spite of the dark regressions
Steeped in his fiber and core.
To levels unspoken. Master
Of all that he surveys.
Passions abound and goodness of
Heart. has
Elevated him over and over again to
Leave animal instinct and  
Escape and to great heights to
Soar like an eagle past Satan's grasp.

Peripheral vision .Or paranoia.
Shifty.

                                                 Circumspect or leery.
                                                 Cautious.

Once bitten. Twice shy.
Guarded.

                                                                    Apprehensive or jaded
                                                                    Frozen.

Grandma made plantain fu-fu
On the fire hearth.
A big iron skillet of hot coconut oil.
Her hands were gnarled and knobby. But.
Oh they knew the way.

Mashed green bananas and special. Salt season.
Dropped lightly . In fried to gold.

Out and rolled with a green glass bottle then.
Deep fry again.

Hot plantain fu-fu.
In coconut oil.
Hello Africa.
Kenya.
Nigeria.

Sweet and nice.

An intergalactic asteroid crashed
In times square.
A deadly virus
Spread.

Now we have a rampant epidemic of
The east coast.
Squawking dead.

Sitting in a chair counting spots that passed before my eyes.
The insect smiled and said "hold still" i missed one.
They swirl this way and that.
dont move    Please. be still.

Not an  easy task
a fever of 104.2
could you.                  I think that I shall never see
                                    a poem lovely as a tree.

Sitting on my blanketed chest
The insect did his best to sing me a lullaby.
his breath was horrendous but he meant well.

He stroked my burning cheek and
changed the cool washcloth regularly
on my aching head.
Then turned my pillow to the cool side again.
There my friend.

He scuttled under with me and snuggled
his hairy legs were itchy and rough.
small price to pay.
eh wot.

Oh yes we have no bananas
We have no bananas today.

Captain if we keep pushing her like this
she's gonna blow.

We regret to inform you that
the price of tea in China is now
High as gas in California.

Chicken broth he brought  
with a silver spoon to boot
The insect waited patiently
as I swallowed then spooned
the next load in.

"Here let me wipe you chin."

Ladies  and gentlemen and all ships at see
The Hindenburg has landed
oh the humanity.

This is not the end
No not the beginning of the end.
But more, the end of the beginning.

Help me up Mr Checks. I think I gotta ***.
Oops forgot to raise the lid.
Mr Checks. Can you have room service come up.
we need more Trowels. Uh towels.

Stop hogging the remote.   Where's mom
                                              Have you seen my Teddy with one eye missing.

To bed to bed
You sleepy head .

Tarry a while said slow.
Put the *** said greedy glut
Lets stuff before we go .

Mr  Checks.
All hands on deck.
We dont have enough lifeboats sir.
The iceberg is  sky blue and beautiful dont you agree.

What do you do with a drunken sailor
early in the morning.
                                                               Heave ** and up she rises
                                                               Early in the morning.


THIS FEVERISH DREAM TO BE CONTINUED.

Substance.
Heft. volume and mass.

Volume without value.
Being light in the ***.
Barking without teeth.

Gravitas.
Bite. weight and kick.
All talk.All yap all *****. No ****.

*****-fuckas today are sick
with it.
A man's word is nothing but air.

Lie to your face as if that is a virtue.
Get stuff all distorted as they twist you and hurt you.

Microphone checker.

No I'm not really mad. Just stretching out.
Anyway,back to the grind.

With your feelings these fellows are quite cavalier
as they muddy the waters and make things unclear.

Word is bond. Really like James Bond? WORD ?.
My word is my bond. We can trade on it.
My word is my life. The one thing you cant have.

Meaning and substance.
Values and core.

Fools take that today like a license to steal.
A big Lollipop a sucker Who dont know the deal.

Veracity.
Virtue.
brings
Vindication always.
