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..
