"comix" poems
Bones shackled, breast plate pierced, enemy to the new governance - SCREAMING dark hearted chants that linger in memory like death and love.
Come and be one: we are looking for your[self] substance. Is that the facade you've chosen? Only for now my friend.
Come and be clear: bring us your mistakes - especially those that you continue to make. Those that make you question your worth and capacity for love. Bring your folly, your hatred, your discontent, your ennui, your sluggishness, your truth.
I want to be around those who accept my naked soul. Stripped of the costume that makes me socially adequate or tolerable. Can you be Who you truly are. I know you crave this. Embrace your anxiety and bring it with you...
All that you are is welcome here.
Look at me, my naked soul wears no pockets for a secret to survive.

And we're off ...
the week has started ...
is it every day we're reminded
how fucken dense this man is?
how utterly, immeasurably ignorant
is this solid mass of orange nothingness
that's tinged with the green of envy,
the dark bile of bigotry,
& the ever present yellow
of moral cowardice,
shaded with coal black
labyrinthian hollows & dense thickets
of double-speak & blatant
lies.
Oh this man!
This pitiful caricature of every
far-too-rich fat cat you laffed at
in the Sunday comix,
all over-fed yet never satisfied,
trophy wife upon his velvet arm,
shy & lonely son left to play with imaginary
friends in a gilded palace of pillowed luxury
& golden gushing faucets of milk & honey
& all those fancy trinkets that declare to
himself each day,
... "Oh how I've made it!"
This bottomless well,
this mind of vacancies &
negative sub-atoms,
pure void of edgeless darkness
infinite & oh so very still,
this encyclopedia of the vacuum,
this mole of the intellect,
this dustbin of the present,
overflowing with inane
tit-bits of elemental
irrelevance,
this!
& the horror is of course
that 60 odd million Americans
gave this jestered fool
the reins of power
in the most powerful
& consequential
nation on this
fragile & hurting
one & only
planet earth.
