i

what to say today
that has not been said
a million times before

i offer you the chalk..
you who are clever
and such beauty

like the spring flower
put forth-
your petals of

originality-prince of
harm!
let us hear yourn..

ii

i am a quick study-
i know before what
needs to be done

it rattles off my tongue
or i appraise silently
waiting..

don´t mention it
my son
to the manner born..

o the chips are in the pan
my friend,( lily is desparate dan)
none,are innocent-

the mayo held
the peas are not free
a razors edge..

vinegar at war
the pan is..
enough said..

some things are irreversible
(like underwear)
there is one way

and what is done is done..
ah,if it were so simple
live for the day!


o we don´t care
what of the future
and babble-babble..

long time dead
lily considered
(in the past tense)

what could happen
next?
some moments are so

full of dread and now-
three little letters-
open you mouth

keep it closed
a razor´s blade
catch zip..

i

how did it go with the alien
lily,alright,they were looking
for something different-
intelligence,i said the moon

ironically but not really..
well could be worse-
they might keep us in tanks
pointing out lunch..

ii

i imagine we will expect mercy..
anything interesting
to say-i got this in it´s
entirety from love is a dog

from hell by charles bukowski-
it is called light brown
(innocuous enough you might think..)
light brown

light brown stare
that dumb blank marvelous
light brown stare

i´ll take care of it

you need n´t carry me
anymore
with your cleopatra
movie star
tricks

do you realize
if i were an adding machine
i might break down
tabulating
how many times you´ve used
that light brown stare?

not that you´re not the best
with your light brown stare

some day some crazy  *******
is going to ****** you

and you´ll cry out my name
you´ll finally know
what you should have known

so very long ago..

iii

england were playing switzeland..

iv

i wished how i could write
like that-the economy..
not a wasted word but kind
of complex

and fearfully menacing..
still,i would not write of ******
that is not a good idea-
we went to penalties..

v

i will put the chips
in the pan
and mayonnaise the bread

write this:
open a can of peas-
long time dead..

i

after being sober for
nigh on forty year-let me say,
to wake of a morn and feel
not a bottle of *****-still,
a pleasure..

ii

i peruse the word or
pick some bagatella..
consider the philisophical
with a gentle breeze-
o time is real..!

iii

then, consume eggs and
do not puke..
inside my cranium not
a nuclear bomb-
half a life..

iv

time ago..
shaking like a leaf
where did the time go?
i don´t know..
some thief..without

v

prints-a few lines!
(and less a few ivories)
but still here,
listen,no-one is more surp-
rised..
