Let me tell you about something I saw the other day, when I was out walking through a field of hay. The night was quite pretty, the air crisp and clear, when I suddenly encountered a cat who was drinking a beer! I walked a little farther and encountered some mice, sitting around a card table, all playing dice. The mice looked quite serious, they all dressed like thugs, I was dumbfounded, and simply stared down from above. Then I saw something that completely blew my mind, it was a variety of animals, dancing in a conga line. For hours and hours and hours they danced, more animals joined in, even deer came to prance. This party was larger than any I’d seen, a couple of badgers were even smoking something green. “Innocent” deer were snorting lines off of snakes, and a couple drunk farm dogs were fighting with rakes. A cat and a mouse were sitting in a barn, entirely too drunk, they took turn telling yarns. From across the field, you could hear an owl retch, while a gaggle of geese slurred “Benny and the Jets.” Sheep laughed, “Bahaha!” while dancing on tables, the horses were getting it on in the stables. This party was crazier than any I’d attended, a pig even ended up losing an appendage. As the sun came up, things started winding down, all the cows went home, and the "Keg King" took off his crown. I took this as my cue, it was time to depart, so a couple mice and I hitched a ride on a farmer’s cart. "Sayonara!" I yelled, "It's been lots of fun! Everybody get home safe, try not to hurt anyone!" But enough about me, let's talk about you. That was my weekend, what did you do?

His brother’s on my arm; Cursing the opposing appendage, For I’d killed his only sibling. And I’d lie. And I’d die. I’d admit to none other, But come the beer-scented blood he’d know – My sibling’d just been married. My other sibling’d just cursed mom. My other sibling’d kissed a girl. And the other, more just than most, Ventured nether; near and dying. Leaving me ripe And if only pursued, by all that’d ever odyssey; Family, vengeance and nature. So to, brother feeds. And I’d lie. And I’d die. And I’d admit to none other – His caress and how my arm’d gone lukewarm. The only, “kiss,” in years and almost a first, Come lonely soul to feed, in addition a few more.

Tequila Mosquito (2)
Visiting a friend on his Quarter Horse farm, the day sunny and warm. We walked out to his brood mare pasture, the ladies were running, awaiting and sunning, anticipation in the air and their nervous behavior. Noble his name, consistency his game, a reliable aging stallion, sire to many fine sons and daughters, years of proven pairings, came halter led and prancing. He had their scent and his spirit awakened, the three ladies believed to be in season began to snigger and whinny, their excitement growing as the stallion entered their grassy domain, the dance was about to commence. The handler led the big fella' forward, both sides began their quizzical inspections. one young filly more aggressively willing than the others. Noble excitedly returned her heightened interest. Within a few minutes Noble began to rear up, he knew his job, his august appendage extended, trying several times to mount his mate intended, adrenaline pumping his back legs began to shake, on his fourth failed attempt the eager proven suitor fell to the ground, rolled over, paused for a moment and struggled to stand on unsteady legs. Appearing even somewhat embarrassed. The mare moved aside, kicked her hind legs in the stallion's direction, whinnied loudly and ran away. Rejected the old stallion stood looking perplexed, failure was something unknown to him. His spirit was willing but his aging body was weak. The old stud slowly returned to the barn, his head hung low, no longer prancing. For every time and being there is a season, aging is part of the cycle, like this stallion, we all reach this moment of understanding. Sometimes gracefully, most times with stunned disbelief. From Noble to nothing in one afternoon.

Me, “a wonder.” He calls. Now wretchedly refined and pasteurized. To be consumed, now, for genteel eyes. Pity! Should you ever see me roll mine. Behind those curtains, you might have been surprised To see my countenance whimpering At you Sir; and seething, at _Him._ Must you not be fooled by that sickly decorum Upon which his manly pride resides. The Duke—what rich talent in envy he has, And of pithy idiosyncrasies! Pardon me now As I speak of his infamies: Is it not, Too preposterous of a Duke, to sulk And take offense, over a blush? (As if the blush was his to wield and shun.) Am I not allowed to flush _at all?_ And must I be ashamed of being swooned By the casual offers of life’s grandiosities? Each and every, dropping of the daylight, Ripen cherries in May and chivalrous gentlemen, my dear white mule; must I then weep at them all, only to prove my fancy for him. And when does gracious gratitude itself become in vain: a finite honour— deemed excessive elsewhere? Never had he plucked me out, for censure, Before he gave commands, I knew he did To pluck the smile out of my face. Utterly clueless—he thought I was To find myself throttled, for immodesty. A wife, an appendage to a Duke, Loosely felled, to stroke a green-eyed ego. My fault it seems, is a mere generosity Of affection: falsely opined, if not Misread, to fare a defect of temperament, A chronic malady, doth be cured by death. To cement the farce he will, soon, bring you Downstairs to meet a friend. (a fiend) A prized possession: Neptune, taming a sea-horse. His hubris incarnate, cast in bronze. But you must know the truth, for the sea-horse Did not perish for naught, she is freed from him At last.

Done with thinking because that's for god to do I am just this appendage of a greater consciousness Ahab is blameless in his small existence Don't quote me quote Herman and Freddy Nietzsche They and their hermits coming down from the mountains to declare they ought to have loved their fate all along Amor fati Why couldn't we have been stuck in the herd all along guys who get love and happiness effortless no need to spend their life in anguish searching through tomes found in tombs for eons and eons enhancing their social aloofness and their unremembered trauma 'till those sad souls give those pansies confidence to leave an exegesis of their own Too smart kid that decried Christ and the shadows of a god all around only to find the search for truth was hopeless Find a way to dumbly enjoy life again and you only say again cause that's all we can control our memories and we too often forget our thought habits the pre-neolithic mind tricks on ourselves Too many MLMs profiting off false mindfulness missing the point beyond exercise and short stress relief Change your thought patterns to love your destiny That's the best we have to pretend to have control in this ̶h̶e̶l̶l̶ hole

The long spindly legs Of our Lord Centipede Are raw and weak from The way they’ve been dragged Through unforgiving ground It imprints them with sensitivity Till each limb is trained to dodge The earth that makes them weak The slick land of jealousy Or the unsuspecting pebbles of insecurity If a single appendage trips up On such emotional hardships Lord Centipede crashes Oh so brutally down

Centipede
One autumn day in Providence I opened up a door, And entered into a stuffy room Called "Edgar's Nevermore", A curio shop with things forbidden, And things bizarre and perverse, And obelisks of ancient books Occult, arcane, and diverse. I poked around the pint-sized potions, Inspected a petrified eft, But made no purchase; and empty handed The merchant's lair I left. Returning home, to my surprise, Like one who'd broken the law, I found I'd taken a good unpaid for: A little monkey's paw. It tightly gripped, with fingers curled, A flap of baggy sleeve; And there it stayed, upon my jacket, When I hung it up at eve. For many days it didn't move, And seemed the perfect pet; But never trust a monkey's paw, Or this is what you'll get: I went to bed a drunken evening, And slept as though I were dead; And I didn't hear the monkey's paw As it crept beside my bed, The monkey's paw that had bided its time, And waited, still as could be, To choose this night to strangle it— My voodoo doll of me! (Why did I have a voodoo doll Of me, you ask? Well, I... Well, let's just say...well...I can't tell you... I'd blush to tell you why...) I awoke (with bleary, blurry vision) To the monkey-fisted grip, Then died without a single curse To swear upon my lip. And in my town I'm still remembered As that quintessential loner Who died alone with a mangled throat, A creepy doll...and a ***** O.O

A Pet Appendage
I am not your accessory a statement piece to your spineless connections The thousandth image-oriented festivity That you thoughtlessly threw Due to the boredom of your own reflection I am not a string of pearly witty conversation that you casually bring up when you aren't capable of employing stimulation I am not a magenta lipstick you reach to cover up your mindnumbing gossip about the neighbors indecencies You try to duplicate me and slip your right, then your left foot into vintage leather Jimmy Choos Oh but your archless perception of life Doesn't quite fit your soul next to mine Empathy was never your strong suit Oh but a tailored cold charcoaled judgement suit--that fits just.right. Still you try to wear me, despite discrepancies And oh how you hate the way I mock your silhouette I clash with your champagne clings You try to bash me against silverware but I remain mute "Oh but if I can't make her an accessory, I shall make her an appendage!" Oh how Christian and courteous of you In the same way you asked your bridesmaid to step off the alter when she came out to you on that heavenly day You ask me to be your brothers appendage Oppressive and aloof Asking was always a waste of time for you You expect.

Sister-in-law
Upon the arboreal dozed and limb, Extended coccyx serpentine loose, Throne of inspection, tenet and dumb Stillness hunts akin stealthy Mongoose; Except for the natal locomotive Soft deep sufficiently immense purr Emanating from some industry; effective In the cover of the thick supple fur. The lord of his unconquered empire, Thrives on flesh and quenches on milk, Wintering unperturbed reading the fire That flickers, gleaming his bed of silk. Ever landing on appendage quadruple Acrobatic athlete not soiling once his back Consummating in strict concealment marble Couch of perpetual indulgence buried black.

Vestigial Appendage
she's a jumping bean, bouncing off walls, breaking in her velvet muscles. a princess crown encompasses her cranium, eyelashes like butterfly wings, fluttering in a breeze. wearing tic-tacs for teeth, a smile designed by blind men's hands, construction of a masterpiece. eyes aglow with eagerness, bleeding aquamarine, flooding my pupils with luminosity. giggles like dandelion seedtips, a supplementary appendage, attached to my forearm. she blankets me in gentle bear hugs, curling around like pink yarn, frayed at the edges.

The Whys of My Briefcase don't know where you keep yours, mine, immediately resigned, to my black briefcase the bills I cannot pay, the notices that I knew would unfailingly come some day, the letters to my children, signed, sealed but never to be delivered till much later, maybe, by someone else's hand and so, I carry my briefcase every day, an appendage human, opens only for additions, never any subtractions, many reminders included, for letters previous posted, sent, and stamped~marked past, way past, overdue the authorities demand satisfaction, at the very least they want my whereabouts the doctors asks, what's wrong, you never filled that essential prescription~poem I wrote for you, that was even writ legible so you could not deny its existing urgency that **** briefcase is so heavy, tempted to chuck it into the Peconic, but it was a loving gift from her, not realizing that I carried no case, just so burdens invisible were imagined lighter, or extinct, but easily ignored where do you keep yours? the forget~me~knots that you don't want but can't crush legally or courageously when they open that unhappy pandora, they will wonder why nothing was e'er said, but they won't ask twice, but understand, for who among us does not have a black briefcase?

Cellphone Addiction
we did what we could that night and a supernal being is ashamed. this is the drift of thought in the vast ocean of gilded gold frothing at the edge of rotund: giving back a silenced enigma, spewing the answer in an exhaust of white rancid smoke dharma burns plastered to cigarette. burning and burning, afloat are the high-pouncing embers looking for fleeting shades and dagger-ambulations of a shadow's swagger in tectonic soiree. we did what we could that night. like a flash of lightning at the back of hoarded hills, or say, something brutal and brash with modern sensibilities we never jell — we come not with softness or life peering out of our eyes like little girls serenaded by mad men in the eve of forlorn nights. we did what we could and some god cringes, winces away like the erratic dance of candleflame. the leviathan black spreads its parasol and we are no strangers. when our veraciousness starts to pierce the veil, the populace should start to worry of their trapped conditions. we came here for something: be it flesh, be it wisdom, be it plain inebriations — we will never flinch at the squalor of tomorrow's sobering. keep in mind, kaibigan.     it's all levitation and transcendence. the darkness wept as the car groans near the end of its immaterial life. i flick the last cigarette into the grey-faced pavement. all oceans drowned, all shadows burgeoned, all fires emerged plump, this silent radio rivers through the wave of this ephemerality, the onomatopoeia of strangeness, the   thud       of the senseless head of metal      on the body the   clackety-clack        of hours thereafter! ayeayeaye! the streets sing no mild   appendage. the solstice is lost     in the length and precision of all things. bringing ourselves to the brink of absence,     our pallid selves set ablaze, emblazoning the quick life of matchflame or rumble of         thunder — the steady phoenix of        that night! this is learning   to breathe again, o, what currents purloined in vicious swarth as we keep      this river flowing into our throats,   jamming our souls to compelling music.    remember kaibigan, it's all levitation and transcendence.

A piano I was born to be. But not just black and white because my fingernails are blue except for three of them. I feel safer in fresh white sheets and 8 foot deep water than I do by your side. You are a dangerous convict who has never committed a felony but you are also the vulnerable grandmother who has a mean right hook. One time I sat and watched a tree fall and **** the ground almost, shot it right in the center and left a crater for critters to crawl. Adult hood should be a lot more scarier than my childhood. But it isn't. Fear of the Inevitable is irrational because God is inevitable and so is Buddha and Jesus and any other deities. Speaking of diets, my mother went on one and lost a lot of money (weight, too) because I could have told her for free but parents are a weird thing because they always say they're looking out for you but instead all they do is look down (or up depending on how tall you are). I'm 5'3" but I like to think I'm 5'2" but I act like I'm 6'4" but I feel like I'm 4'3". And every day is a struggle when you aren't the same height as you feel. The gas in my car goes quick and so does my temper and my friends. When waterfalls crash another boat is built to break. Whoever created the car also created the car crash and that deserves a round of applause because it is beautiful and destructive and just the way i like it. I'm a ********* so when people tell me to cheer up I take it to offense, but a fence gouged my stomach once and I told all my friends it was my appendix which is an appendage you don't need like your heart when it turns cold because no one can thaw ice without melting it to a puddle.

A piano I was born to be. But not just black and white because my fingernails are blue except for three of them. I feel safer in fresh white sheets and 8 foot deep water than I do by your side. You are a dangerous convict who has never committed a felony but you are also the vulnerable grandmother who has a mean right hook. One time I sat and watched a tree fall and **** the ground almost, shot it right in the center and left a crater for critters to crawl. Adult hood should be a lot more scarier than my childhood. But it isn't. Fear of the Inevitable is irrational because God is inevitable and so is Buddha and Jesus and any other deities. Speaking of diets, my mother went on one and lost a lot of money (weight, too) because I could have told her for free but parents are a weird thing because they always say they're looking out for you but instead all they do is look down (or up depending on how tall you are). I'm 5'3" but I like to think I'm 5'2" but I act like I'm 6'4" but I feel like I'm 4'3". And every day is a struggle when you aren't the same height as you feel. The gas in my car goes quick and so does my temper and my friends. When waterfalls crash another boat is built to break. Whoever created the car also created the car crash and that deserves a round of applause because it is beautiful and destructive and just the way i like it. I'm a ********* so when people tell me to cheer up I take it to offense, but a fence gouged my stomach once and I told all my friends it was my appendix which is an appendage you don't need like your heart when it turns cold because no one can thaw ice without melting it to a puddle.

THE CAT
I... I... I can't find words to properly observe my absurd feelings. I'm dealing with A lack of a fifth appendage. I'm missing my thumb Well... Well... Well like an appendix, I'm useless for your senses. Sensing your numb to me your like Nestle chocolate is addicting. and soothing But... But... But I went to rehab where I met Ahab who was on Jihad cause of some white girl We realized were hypnotized                          savages victimized by self-reliance the key word being lie Now... Now... Now were stagnant spaced on various fragments adorned with magnets to the walls surrounding counting drowning in cement

Silly words like daughter and laughter. Why isn’t dotter and lafter? Both, moth and mother are confusing. It all depends on the way you are using Those mad silly words in our tongue More bizarre than between and among. And, of course there are the oughts And ought nots of enough and thought. Shouldn’t one sound per word be Far less typographical insanity? I mean someone wound a bandage Around a wound on an appendage. It’s just plain silliness of a high order. You fix food for a boarder, not a border. You can fish for fish, not sheep for sheep. And, you can’t daydream if you are asleep. There’s a rhyme about a wood chucking wood But he only seems to do it if he would. A dog can bark at a cat on a roof, Which can be said either like root or woof. In Britain anyone can go pound on a pound In America, ground coffee can be on the ground. And driving a car now your own can be fined. But finding a free auto is something of a find. It makes very difficult to tease other tongues. Not even if you shout at the top of your longues. Lately we changed things like light and nite But, not white, night, knight or blight. We changed you to one letter, a simple ‘u’. Now, tell me please, was that so hard to dew? Oh, wait. I mean due. No, I meant do all along. The way English is, it’s not hard to do it wrong. Is it its or is it it’s? It’s dependent upon. What kind of sentence you have going on. For example if you have an itch on your **** It’s on your **** but I’ tell you what. It’s itch is its own, and needs no apostrophe. Just one more view how silly things can be. So, until later, when things get better We had better do it rite to the letter. Oh, wait, that’s wright. No write, no right. See, I got it rite before the end of the nite.

Paul Wittgenstein returned from war, feeling half a man. He had fought his nations’ battles at the cost of his right hand. The loss of an appendage scars anyone, its true. Paul was a pianist-. With just one hand what could he do? Paul Wittgenstein was fortunate Having Ravel for a friend. A confidante of Gershwin, He said Paul would play again.. He wrote a sweet piano piece To be played with just one hand. If you close your eyes and listen You would never guess his plan. A composer of precision, With a jazzy playful side, His left handed concerto Was one to make the angels cry Paul Wittgenstein took to the stage A sea of faces looking on. He played the piece so brilliantly None guessed his hand was gone. Not until he left his seat To bow to their applause Some gasped in their astonishment, But most just cheered and roared. Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand is one of the most brilliant and important of 20th-century concertos for any instrument. Composed for Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist who lost his right arm during World War I, there is no way by simply listening that you would ever know its secret. Both of Ravel's concertos were heavily influenced by jazz--possibly also by his acquaintance with Gershwin--and successful performances must combine his customary precision with a certain ability to "swing" the tunes. --David Hurwitz

Concerto for left hand
Luminescent sacrifism concocting inside this bountiful prism. Succumb to division, reciprocations to decisions unholy in thought occupying this prison. Unknown- the only variable that's given. Uncover the conspiracies in this tank that you live in. Revealing whats hidden, believe and be smitten. Luminescent little prism, dreaming this dream of a bountiful sacrifism.
