"fraiche" poems
a love poem, of new & old,
why I am the summer-man!^
summer is winding down,
sky’s multi blues freezer safe stored in ziplock see thru bags,
marked and named by hue, the where and the when,
so when the eyes finally fail, when the squinting don’t help,
when the good things those good blues aroused,
poems, lush and morning thanks for being alive come-not-at-all,
quite the opposite, these cold blues
may help, to recall why it was worth breathing
summer is winding down,
so am I, the synchrony no accident, time,
the Pharmacy kitchen calendar
claiming another victim, willing or not,
those cars and the blue eyed models,
are now but blurred wishes and hopes, even these words, spoken,
not finger scribed, for the keyboard a
jumbled jungle of alpha-numerical
of confusion hellish and
my sons don’t come to clean up my pathetic messes, sending
their little children, beloved concubines of my heart
the daytime watcher, spanglish her native lingo,
tho single words she’s pretty good at too, but that don’t help much;
the grands, toddlers to pre-teens, the eldest a womanly eight,
tries but soon frustration bored, slips away quiet like
replacing her with her two year old sister, who knows her alphabet
which ain’t an exactly a help, but her five pencils stored^ nearby,
tagged with her name, awaiting her poems, her one true legacy
try to imagine her as a grandmother, farseeing the day when she
occupied this too too hard to-get-out-of-by-myself “easy” chair,
making rhymes with her next-next generational descendants,
faint remembering the silliness sorcery that I secreted in her brain;
zingo, bingo, lingo
tango, ginkgo, jingo,
** ** oh no, oh no!
ashes, gray hairy poppy is a silly,
when he is not a grumpy,
old man all fall down!
which she acts out with giggles galore,
adding a teacup embellishment,
a creme fraiche pearly teeth smile topping,
the day watcher agrees, verrry verrry funny,
but time to me *** and take a needed morning *****
no poppy! no poppy! no poppy!
no nap, no *** no *****
thinking the call out is for her,
stomping her feet in an alternating rhythm and rhymes
I, happy poppy, ecstatics drooling out,
foreseeing the rhyme is strong in her,
get wheeled away crinkled and crackling,
*zingo, bingo, lingo
tango, ginkgo, jingo
** ** oh no, oh no!
ashes gray hairy poppy is a silly,
when he is not a grumpy,
old man all fall down!*
a new genre me of gibberish summertime love poems

Au temps
Au temps où l'on va toujours plus vite, pour en gagner
Autant de temps à perdre devant la télé
Quand les pieds d'argile ont des chaussures en croco
Au temps de la guerre des égos
À celui passé à l'usine, qui roule sa bosse
Quand c'est tout ce qu'on apprends à nos gosses
Fais de l'argent, entres dans le moule
À l'heure où notre joli navire coule
Quand les recherches les plus subventionnées sont militaires
Quand l'homme avance un pas en avant, deux pas en arrière
Quand on a plus que jamais tous du sang sur nos doigts
Là où on trouve moins d'eau que de soda
À l'heure des strings et des braguettes
Quand la pucelle à honte de l'être
Quand on fait l'amour à des images, à du kevlar
À l'heure où l'art fait sa pute, et au street art
Aux endettés que le temps presse
Aux laodicéens qui pensent boire de l'eau fraiche
Au temps passé en emmenant nos valeurs
Au temps modernes, au temps perdu, au temps qui fait peur
Au temps qui veut m'arracher ce que j'ai de plus précieux
Ma sauvagerie, ma liberté, comme la prunelle de mes yeux
Au temps, à ses aiguilles qu'on ne peut casser,
Qui passent sur nous comme on laboure un champ
Plient et tâchent une peau tant de fois griffée,
Puis laissent à nos yeux que le blanc
Au temps qui nous abimes, qui passe et nous emporte l'un après l'autre
Au temps des idoles et des rois, au temps des apôtres
Au temps qui passe et estompe nos mirages
Qui file tout le temps, qui jauni nos images
Qui nous vieilli, nous flétris, nous habitue
Qui nous ternis, nous aigris, puis qui nous tue.
Au temps qui ne s'est pas passé comme prévu
Aux tremblotants, au temps qui nous fait perdre la vue
Aux palpitants qui s'arrêtent
Aux pétillants qui naissent
À ceux qui ont tant passé à contre courant, au monuments
Qui résistent contre le vent, qui malgré tout et pour autant
Au temps.

e.g.
the marinate for pork...
already mentioned:
olive oil, garlic paste, light brown sugar,
honey, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce,
ketchup, ginger paste, cinnamon,
cayenne pepper...
how can you speed-up
the marinating process?
sure, in the fridge the whole mix
goes... but in a plastic bag, sealed,
removing as much oxygen in the bag
as possible...
to quicken the marinating process,
you have to suffocate the ingredients...
quasi-deoxidiße the whole bag...
and what does a lack
of oxygen provide in low temperatures?
rhetorical question...
then you massage the marinate
into the meat...
but like i said:
you want to quicken the marinating
process?
everything in a plastic bag...
sealing it, pushing any available air from
the bag, and into the fridge...
i'd say an hour...
boom! out comes beijing pork,
out comes mao tse tung finger-licking good
on the bbq;
the idea came to me after drinking
about 35cl of ***
not bad... compared with other
addicts, we're slightly (insert snigger)
more industrious than ****** addicts...
see a skinny alcoholic, i'll play you
the game of poker-face, before someone
cracks up (no, no cards involved)...
yummy yummy...
who would have thought that
oxygen slowed down the marinating
process...
side dish? even yummier...
lettuce... creme fraiche, a dip or two of mayo,
salt, pepper, and... WHA! white vinegar
and sugar... which lettuce?
1 little gem and 1 romaine...
the carbs? a baguette...
my my, cigarettes taste so much better
after a meal you made yourself,
and fried on the barbie...
cooled down with a breeze
and a beer.
