*** Dumpster
I.          “No doubt they’ll sing in tune after the Revolution.”                       -Kamarovsky, Doctor Zhivago (film) Everyone seems to clench his fist these days In solidarity with ephemera While setting fire to green recycling bins Hurling someone else’s bicycle through a window Armed with their undergraduate degrees The comrades liberate a coffee shop Wifi-ing the revolution of the day Empowerment by beating love to death Loudsplaining authentic victimization Posing for selfies with a stolen ‘phone II. Their inhumanity seemed a marvel of class-consciousness, their barbarism a model of proletarian firmness…                          -Doctor Zhivago, p. 349 Everyone seems to clutch his flag these days In solidarity with a past that wasn’t While setting fire to misspelled cardboard signs Hurling someone else’s beer into a crowd Armed with their lurid Confederate tats The Something.Right liberate a dumpster Bull-horning the counter-revolution Empowerment by beating love to death Bellowing their Reconquista of stench Posing behind their cheap gas station shades III. “I used to admire your poetry...I shouldn't admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don't you agree? Feelings, insights, affections... it's suddenly trivial now. You don't agree; you're wrong. The personal life is dead…”             -Strelnikov to Yuri, Doctor Zhivago (film) Some few embrace civilization these days In solidarity with humanity While lighting one small candle as a votive Whispering an Ave into the Light Armed with wonder through pen and flute and brush Recusants choose the liberation given In singing of the eternal verities Self-empowerment happily denied With love, with poetry, music, and art Celebrating life on this summer day

Superhero I have a pipe and dark sunglasses, taking names and kicking some ***** I'm a powerless superhero, they call me Captain De Niro. Owe me money, you better pay, or pain will be on your way. You better not be selling drugs, or my lead pipe will give severe hugs. Don't be ****** any innocent women, will be breaking your hands and fingers, all ten. Molesting kids and you don't wanna know, the dumpster, your ***** I will throw. I don't allow any peeping or stalking, with broken legs, there will be no walking. I'm one of those modern day vigilantes, on my head, I wear my wife's ******* Can't leap a building in a single bound, like you, I get dizzy when spun around. Can't go under water and summon fish, I prefer them on my eating dish. No fancy car or a sidekick, but my pipe can break a brick. Don't have an invisible jet, like you, I'm in deep debt. People have no idea who I am, I might be Steve, I might be Sam. Just a man who hates violence, I hate people that are spineless. I catch bank robbers in the act, the odd against them are fully stacked. I help keep crime off the streets, can't count the number of villain defeats.

like red lion parts crotch rocket nut cup anything done behind a dumpster in the dark yes, always because you never liked how light peeked through my thin hair or how I squinted my eyes when I kissed you “Just close them all the way ********* of course, I obliged anything to keep you away from your mother anything to keep you out of the garage the sulfur smell the demons in your drinking marble but god, the vibration the car peeling out on the driveway and “Here take this.” all of me reminded you of her all of me “Rest, darling. Rest.” and every time the night ended with unclothed gin bedspreads like forts and painted walls “Go **** youself.” and all was lost my body my grief 10 pounds lighter sweat soaked through the carpet

A mother whispers into the fire of Night I hold a match I hold Yarn I Am Wool Shrinking to the formation The intricate designs of your rib cage of your brother's belly of your Grandfather's waist Am I simply a fool? And Who Doth I ask This question too? A Torn book A tattered sonnet of Man's sore feet blistered eyes that are Green That are Brown That are Blue I Lay with myself Tonight I am Awake I am Loud In your Night I Am the Janitor beneath the hardwood floors of your Dream I am the Poorly Waged Electrician With Shoes that resemble an old dog I Light Your Highway Your Street Your Morning coffee your cigarette Am I The Child? I fall in love with women I see on the streets Their Wavy hair like a French sea Her pale complexion the Brown Glimmer in her eyes And I paint on her on Tombstones On Coffee Mugs and on carpets rolled up for the Dumpster At Nights I prefer to dream awake and sit with a BathTub of words of stories that melt like cheese that stiffen like Ginsberg **** that Shriek and Strum like Tom Waits stomach when he starves on backroad streets And when I cannot reproduce I make love to a woman And a poem is made and I kiss her and my lips say 5 am and I wish her not to go But the Dog is waken by Robins by the Pigeons by the digestion of night to day by the Greek Gods and Goddess' Light That Falls down like long hair of woman you have so longed for and you kiss her chest And there is no Death There is no Sleep or ****** addicts or gasoline or paved roads or shaved faces or mothers or Dostoevsky or Beethoven There is just her and you run your fingers across her skin through her hair She is the bottom of the Ocean You are a homeless crab a Shellless Clam falling down down down to the bed of the great ocean and there she lays With a reflection of Youth and Beauty And her complex simplicity makes me think of me as a boy running behind brick collapsed business buildings Kissing a girl behind church Buying Icecream with Josh in Winter That's what a woman does She erases Death from the palms of your hands and your thoughts and you sink to the bottom and you watch the Coral The other fish swimming along and you laugh Because you do not know Death And Death does not know you.

Being the only one awake in the back seat, or the only one thinking loudly, and in the back of  your mind, sitting there like living weight, you've got the giant Citgo sign (you swear you could fit in the T), listening to passion pit as the golden sun flings itself on the highway, a construction worker lowering his pants in front of a dumpster, hearing the sandlot play downstairs as you stare at the dark ceiling, pizza you ate in the park the evening before now being had for breakfast, finding out the **** is pro-choice, getting your shoulder squeezed on a rollercoaster by a boy who screams like a girl,          feeling drunk even though you're sober, running through the dark, passing trailers with round lanterns lining the tops, outlining shirtless men and smoking women, looking in the mirror after swimming with your clothes on in a hot tub, and you're not sure if you're beautiful or disgusting. Yeah, you can sleep now.

8th trip
I've been digging through this dumpster far too long trying to get to the bottom of it all. Slimey sweet stench there's my first love my first pipe my last light my first rush my last gush my first bet my last buck "the game ain't over until the rent money's gone." I am down a deep hole and my only tool is a shovel I've got that one choice but to go down down down. Drunk and dial Drunk and poetry how did I get here how do I get out? I'm a spiritual wasteland connected to no one connected to nothing My drug My man My woman My casino The rush comes first The numbness comes last until death, insanity or jail is within my grasp. I do what I do But I am allergic too you understand when I do what I do I break out in handcuffs jail cells strapped down to beds looking around longing for my dumpster and what I might have found. 1st Step 12th Step I've done them all though the 13th Step I liked the best Sponsors have come and gone Spiritual awakenings have all been done I am back in this dumpster where I had begun. There is an exquisite mystery at the heart of it all the internal shift happens an inside job The 21 year old's first black out enough is enough The 60 year old on his fifth DUI going out for one more round. It is true I have seen it many times Recovery can be found Hope restored Wisdom in these halls Peace within these walls The dumpster closed and left behind A ladder falls and arrives acceptance and gratitude combine as they say "One day at a time."

"We'll Gladly Refund Your Misery" A Tale of Relapse and Recovery
I remember walking up to the Fiddler on the Roof audition when I was fourteen years old alone, feeling very unstoppable and confident and then hiding behind the big trashcan in the foyer of the auditorium As they repeatedly called my name. If you want something throw it away. I remember getting a ******* from a purring cat in the dark in a dumpster behind a ***** bar. If you love something throw it away. I remember buying you lingerie and ripping it off of you not even two hours later. If you love someone throw them away. I remember seeing you wear my shirts after *** and how undescribably gorgeous you looked then, glowing and I thought about callling you the other day to ask for them back but then I realized: If you loved in something throw it away.

Throw it Away
September 30th 2015 5 am Unwind, unwind, unwind, unwind unwind, rewind, look at your hands. Do you even recognize your own fingerprints; you never did. But you recognize theirs, every uneven swirl and pattern. Now burn them off. Can you recognize their fingerprints on the body that was found dead behind a 7-Eleven dumpster? Can you even recognize that the body is yours? This is what you asked for. This is what you asked for. This is what you asked for. Hands, fingers, hands, fingers, nails, knives. You made this mistake. They found your fingerprints on the shovel that dug the grave just for you. Your mistake, don't give second chances. Your mistake, no fingerprint will ever the same.

pastel thinking
Above my home where the dark clouds curl into the sky clinging for a home to rest their sleepy depiction, shadowed trees hum sweet lullabies, lonely leaves breathe in the sad song of fallen dimensions, letting its lifeless view roll upon their frame, the chilled breeze sailing in the skyline, as I scramble my way out of a filthy dumpster, a mountain of disintegrating mess covering my broken body, hovering flies surrounding sticky strips of spaghetti, moldy mashed potatoes, and moldy chicken *** pies, while my mind sunk into traveled thoughts, bruised hands pressed against the creases in my forehead, allowing my existence to feel the stranded scars streaming in various mazes, dull eyes flushed with a burning disorder, aching cheeks and chests nestled in darkening chamber corners, buried hips and thighs uprooting in somber blades of grass, thorned, torn, and destroyed in different worlds.  As I stood on the slippery pavement staring at the ruffled scenery in my sight, spinning streetlights thickening into slouched positions, screaming sidewalks spilling sadness and madness in the drenched air, razor-edged buildings inching into crushed centimeters, jumbled meters, ****** yards.  I replayed the sober images in my head, the way my young brown-skinned mom said I would never amount to anything, how I could hear the raged noun ****** sift into the distance, its flaming mechanics accelerating into screeching sounds, the way she hurled her fists at my smashed face, every vibrant language breaking apart, slamming shut into closed infinites, snagged contractions and gerunds diverging into shuddering double spaced negatives, the way she threw my lingering body inside the trash dumpster, her sharp scarlet words, You are no son of mine, ricocheting off savage surfaces, sparking my soul in a calamity of choking diction.

from a distance, I thought you might be a wolf   straying from the high country, confused by the cacophony of scents, but no, ‘twas my vapid vision, you were   only a mongrel, perched high on the mound   the odors of suburban fast food ghosts     and tuna tins familiar to you   you stood atop the reeking remnants your right front paw resting on   the shredded files of a grand embezzler   your left rear on the ear of a headless teddy bear   another on an orange rind until you shifted your weight and found footing on a crinkled crushed water bottle one of about…33,448,899 in the heap, or maybe 33,448,900   and the last on the ubiquitous cell phone that heard its final voice a fortnight before, when its master spoke his last light words before he tossed it into a dark dumpster   and replaced it with another plastic confessor   whose fate would ultimately be the same   after some sublime texting  and sexting and a few vain words to other deaf dogs

the cur at the landfill
the destroyers are out to destroy they are the heat of the night napalm-burned bodies trembling in the jungle they are bullets nestled silently into the back of one's head babies dangling from their mother's limp arms as she builds herself a new body made out of the countryside & the trees & dynamite and she will bring the explosion at dawn i could fit the memory of last night in a wine bottle i fell asleep in the dumpster and you kissed me with your wine stained lips in the morning i hoisted the sunrise into a wheelbarrow and headed west. now i don't know who or what i am all i need is a soapbox to stand on or a cliff to climb a little solitude i need to be regurgitated as smoke hanging over three lanes of asphalt i need a valley with soft green carpet and a pretty girl's adolescent thighs i need my face shoved in her ***** i need the enormous bliss of a long afternoon i need to find the intersection of our intimate streets.

intimate streets
In parlance of the street he's a dumpster-diver, scavenger of non-losing wager or proposition tickets. You'd see his fragile frame each night walking the isles of the race and sports books, a condor's aerial eye trained on the floor, back visible only to casino surveillance cameras. Seated atop a barstool at the back, I watch him bend, examine and discard, through the prism of my scotch glass. Every food chain has its bottom-feeders, he brings efficiency to the gambling ecosystem. Likely not the life that you or I would chose, but then he has no monthly credit card to pay. Just now, I saw him straighten and smile, a parlay ticket will pay for tonight's meal with just enough left for a brown-bag. He does not go uninvited to misfortune, the streets tonight are lined with chance's down.

when he died, his jackets all went to the grandkids (world-war-two-chic was en vogue), his medals to his sons, and his meticulous preparations for any far-off hurricane, blizzard, fabled connecticut sandstorm, power outage, overheating engine, skinned knee to the big and elegant dumpster. his wife in her heels-for-every-occasion, in her quiet knowing languages and recipes and birdseed loved him even after she forgot his name and hers. they built this house bare-handed and in the shade of the trees and spiders and cell-phone towers it will stand as ever it always has.

There's a calmness to the air of the trailer park As the dumpster in the back slides to the right Underneath is where our Super Hero has his lair And where adventure starts out every night For years now it's been the same old routine Belches as he wobbles to his feet Throws the remote down on the beer stained couch Scratches his rear at the same time picking his teeth Yes, the night belongs to Beer Belly Batman Who spends his time fighting petty crime From spitting on the sidewalkers to mouth full of food talkers Putting them back in their place and back in line Sure he used to be a top notch crime fighter Evil forces he always did foil But after years and years of beating crime up The beating on him has taken its toll If the neighbors music is to loud feel free to call him Nothing he likes better than knocking heads of unruly kids Hey Punk! Pull Your Pants Up! Is his favorite motto... Giving Super Hero Wedges like nobody's biz I don't know about you but this much is true I always feel a little more safe and sound And sleep that much better at night Knowing there's a White Trash Super Hero around

"Beer Belly Batman" White Trash Super Hero (Part One)
Look at him twitching You know he's tweaking His jaw swinging back and forth But there's no speaking See's something down In the carpet twinkling He gets all excited You know what he's thinking Anything he finds He's going to be smoking I wouldn't be laughing Because he ain't joking Down there for hours Refusing to fail Doesn't even slow down After smoking toenail Smokes up almost All that he finds He hears a noise Now he's peeking through the blinds He's been smoking too long And he's up all night Doesn't have a job But that's alright He's finds a dumpster And without any warning He's dives in searching Til the early morning That's just the life Of a tweaker you see Always out hustling To get his **** for free If you see him at night Approach with caution He's got a stink about him Because ain't been washing Picking at his face Til his sores are bleeding A light and a mirror Is all he's needing He finally got busted Now he's on parole Has to hide his drugs Up in his ******** It's a shame, but that's the way A tweaker gets by in the world today His family don't want him And he don't have many friends His life is cut short And that's how it ends Everybody knows him But no one knows his name They just refer to him As "That dope smoking Lame"

Insomnia. If only, my fridge, was filled with beer and a couple cans of food. Drinking, till dawn. Drowning out the dark until I see the sun rise, then I can throw up & pass out. When I was little, my parents used to give me spoonfuls of liquid dawn and chunks of bar soap. To eat when I swore. Until I broke wore them down, to my court and ruled that I will drink dawn by the bottle if I have to, to keep my words unfiltered. True Love. Drink Dawn & Die. Watch my mouth? Wash my mouth out? With soap? The **** Kiss my *** I get belligerent when I'm drunk. I'll go cry behind a pine tree for a couple hours now. I'm living The All-American, Poor-White Trash Dream & the world is my dumpster

The White Trash Dream.
The world is a giant trashcan And I'm a dumpster diver trying to discover anything beautiful and white And it wouldn't surprise me if I've already found it, Covered in gum and hair and crumbs in the backseat of a gutted minivan But I'm so busy judging the books with no cover That I lost track of my little paper hearts that I used to give with a chocolate taped to the back And sometimes I stare into this rotted wilderness and ask myself if I've stopped existing Because the rearview mirrors are so grimy that I can't see my own reflection And when I can't see if there's lettuce stuck in my teeth, I refrain from smiling just in case So people stamp me into the category of grumpy, grownup girl But for all I know, We are all lost pearls from the necklace of the gods (but I can't go back looking like this)

Pull the trigger ***** Russian roulette with your best friend Your mind Your weapon set to self-destruction Blowing it's load In the face of Mother Nature The all organic *** dumpster Where you abort your best ideas for fear they'll take over Without you and your mother ******* Oedipal complex We would never be here trying to go back in time again We would never be here blowing our minds back to Nirvana We would never be here if it wasn't for a trigger-finger itch

Reverse ********
I don't know why I like the floor so much, Maybe it's because you taught me that This is where I belonged, And where I was the most productive, As though pleasuring you from my knees Was any indicator of my worth. But I have discovered many things From this vantage point. I have noticed a crack in the floorboard Beneath which I hid every love letter You ever tucked into my mailbox, I have discovered a locked box Hidden beneath my bed And I don't know what's inside it But it shakes and rattles and screams Every night around two am, So I'm afraid to open it, I have found a marble under my dresser, One of those clear ones With something colorful inside, But it looks more like blood and tissue Than anything, in my opinion, I have also came upon a spot In which the floor does not creak, And it always seems to be cold, A perfect place to rest my cheek. But the last thing I uncovered Was a skeleton in my closet, Folded and tucked into the corner, As though it didn't want to be found, So I found the strength, To lift myself to my knees (It was always a powerful position) And I pulled the skeleton out, And despite its efforts to clamp its bony fingers To my wrist and never let me go I threw it in the dumpster, And rediscovered home.

Rediscovered Home
The baby can't stop crying As she places it in the box She finds a dumpster to throw it in As she walks along the docks There was nothing else, she could do A mother, at only fifteen She hurries away as fast as she can As she hears her baby scream A runaway, she's all alone An addict, for years on crack Her baby left alone to die But still, she won't turn back Thrown away, like a piece of trash A baby, without a name An innocent child abandoned By a mother who bears no blame Another victim of circumstance Shamelessly, cast aside With no one there to hear it's cries The abandoned baby died

Abandoned
Music of the street Reverberates loudly Out the dumpster, From the tiny mouth Of a screaming Baby Wrought in the wombs Of filth, injustice, Foggy rage. Tongues ripped out, On the floor, tastebuds that Know the pang of blue blood. Rusty nails and overused syringes ***** the fingers, Softly. The people yell, maniacally, Yet remain unheard. Pain becomes evident, Written on the faces Of the unwholesome. A wafting scent of Their rotten morals, Forgotten dreams, Floats, as hot steam, from the pavement. Unable now To decompose. Across the road, A pregnant woman holds Her cigarette, which Smells of cookies And cream soda. Jesus was enlightened, Not too pious For the poor. Yet more than pain Was written On their faces, Missing tongues, missing eyes. Laid together On the piss-stained mattress, Feet to head and head To feet. Nonsense was confused As words, that danced into Non-platonic humps. She kissed him, because She wanted to feel The texture of his brain. Pick her up with Golden hand, though She may see you. And the sad image of Dollar bills Inspires the mind, Making it immobile. Here, where the ********** Stands, more holy Than the monastery. Crawling, as they do, Through unpainted, Rented walls, like Hungry little cockroaches, Creeping for a bite. The small infant still Lays on metal, each Moment crying softer For warmth. Though you will not Hear her tomorrow, As she’s carted off by Garbage men Who, each week, remove The undesired Remnants of yesterday. Hope for sweet Needles to sooner bring her A different relief. Life is so simple When struggles Are never-ending. Mi amor pequeña, no llores más. El fin está cerca, aunque no entiende mis palabras. Though the buildings Surrender with Decay and the sun decides He doesn’t want To keep on caring The music still plays mournfully, And only the baby can hear.

Though you will not Hear her tomorrow, As she’s carted off by Garbage men Who, each week, remove The undesired Remnants of yesterday. Hope for sweet Needles to sooner bring her A different relief. Life is so simple When struggles Are never-ending. Mi amor pequeña, no llores más. El fin está cerca, aunque no entiende mis palabras. Though the buildings Surrender with Decay and the sun decides He doesn’t want To keep on caring The music still plays mournfully, And only the baby can hear.

RINZAI BOX Had to have a psych eval at the box factory a human resources workup to make sure I could handle work again making cardboard condos for little mammal prisoners of the pet trade who live on hot windowsills until someone comes to love them. I got too depressed once when I found tiny bunnies mewling in a dumpster their only refuge yes a box I had made you could tell it said assembled with care by Kevin and I missed a month of work and got written up for just being sad. The shrink diagnosed me a cognitive distorter a predictor of worst case scenarios but I disagreed since I saw the sad bunnies for real and he puffed up like a blowfish stammering you’re the patient I’m the man. Well I’ve been around the zendo so I challenged him smartypants answer this……. Do bunnies in boxes have Buddha nature? Irrational and pointless he said hmmmmm I said how do you know maybe you’re a narcissist on a psychobabble fugue echoing in a therapy box. But I have Buddha nature and I put that in the boxes I make and the Buddha bunnies go in the boxes and you here in your Buddha office are not separate just uniquely boxed   and the label on the bunnies' box says assembled with care by Buddha.

RINZAI BOX
At goodwill Buy the Pound every day is black friday Hundreds of soccer moms line up their white sneakers on a black and yellow caution tape line zombie over it streching for yu-gi-oh cards wait for hazmat suits to wheel out eight bins full of trash gone treasure. When the bins are locked in place the hazmat suits go back to pack another load The air horn sounds. You do not want to be anywhere near that caution tape line when this happens. At goodwill buy the pound If you're not part of the fight, you're part of the floor. They need to find their puzzle peices lost in cat liter Johnny really needs every single nerf dart DID YOU TAKE A NERF DART?! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS JO-ANN THOSE WERE FOR JOHNNY. Johnnys grandma is not the only elder throwing elbows varacose veins are curb stomping dads hauling consoles to make a quick buck Skinny College aged video game collectors swim through the mom-pocalypse raid the stashes for disguarded NES cartridges Jo-ann grabs a twinky boy by the black graphic hoodie. Tosses him back into the horde lunges for a barbie doll hidden under some wires. This is not a place for nice children. If you aren't willing to push around some nanas you will leave covered in nike prints. This place turns people. Ever look at someones mom and think She looks like she's always wearing a mask. She is! Buy the pound is her natural habitat. One grandma keeps so many cats, her living room is a Petrie dish I think she just wants to be in charge of a small third world countrey. Granny needs to go rally up the soccer moms at buy the pound. To lead those cats into a mother thirfting revolution These woman leave feeling like they saved their family a fortune Dumpster diving for sport. Every tossed or trampled stranger One flip flop closer to feeding their children clawing through poverty When that airhorn sounds again. They scurry back to their carts. Tell their children "Make sure nobody steals this" as they line back up in haste. Touch their all white nikes to the caution tape line. Hold their family close like brass knuckles. when that airhorn sounds. It's time to fight.
