***** The last time, I got an ******** gave the girl my ***** injection, now I have a bad infection. Never again did I get laid, it's going on the second decade, a new ***** I'd sure trade. One ball black, one ball blue, got no paddle for my canoe, my Horton doesn't hear a Who. ***** swollen, like a balloon, feeling like a rabid raccoon, looks like a character from a cartoon. My ***** hurts when I *** why did this have to happen to me, karma is on a laughing spree. Life will never be the same, swollen ***** man, is my nickname, got no fortune, but 15 minutes of fame. Was on a reality show with other freaks, it was called house of the rising creeps, I got booted off after only two weeks.

*****
It happened in the dead of night while I was slicing bread for a guilty snack. My attention was caught by the scuttering of a raccoon outside my window. That was, I believe, the first time I noticed my strange tendencies as an unusual human. I gave the raccoon a piece of bread, my subconscious well aware of the consequences. Well aware that a raccoon that is fed will always come back for more. The enticing beauty of my cutting knife was the symptom. The bread, my hungry curiosity. The raccoon, an urge. The moon increments its phase and reflects that much more light off of my cutting knife. The very same light that glistens in the eyes of my raccoon friend. I slice the bread, fresh and soft. The raccoon becomes excited. or perhaps I'm merely projecting my emotions onto the newly-satisfied animal. The raccoon has taken to following me. You could say that we've gotten quite used to each other. The raccoon becomes hungry more and more frequently, so my bread is always handy. Every time I brandish my cutting knife the raccoon shows me its excitement. A rush of blood. Classic Pavlovian conditioning. I slice the bread. And I feed myself again.

The raccoon ( A poem by Yuri from DDLC)
Let the night in, for I'll be writin' the letters of light in the air. Our bodies pulsate by the notes of gentle symphonies, and we adhere. Two elements shakin' and mergin' into one. We are makin' it and cravin' for more of this addictive fun. The moonlight rays reach the shapes of the furniture, movin' along with the temperature, increasin' with each movement. Like desert diamonds, we will reflect in the pearly sun. You will be the meadow that I will prefer and the lover within my arms to cover. Until amusement, let my cries give you inducement. From the color of sulfate, this night is glowin' with universal sparks. We both have bewitchin' feels for each other. I am tastin' honey on the curves of her skin, and we embark on the hill. The darkness is sailin' on the waves of our unity. We stomp on a bed full of cherries, and the night stays still. She feeds me with her tempting body, and I see her lucid thrills. I climb on her high balconies, and I am one with the moon, drinkin' from the passion of her milky skin. Our hearts entwined. I attune from the voice of the raccoon. Her body is femininity incarnated into a guitar. I play on her strings, listenin' to the music from noon until dawn, bound to our emotional devotion. Our irresistible pleasure is bowing to our connection.

One with the Moon (ver.2)
I find comfort in the news Be it typhoons or drones I feel like a 100 year old Camus For he was a miserable little raccoon Or should I say Morrissey? But the bipolar king is lost at sea! I think of Sylvia Plath and her oven Incinerated in a jar or in a coffin? I will mention roses in a second But first, wear your veil May I eat your cheeks? I’m your psychopath with style We bathed in herbs together The pale ******* that shone A reoccurring dream of two moons I believe in reincarnation bosoms, as the lunar eyes of an owl Stars, rain, coffee, cigarettes and music Few clichés, I forgot about your roses One day I’ll strike the balance between rhymes and passion

One with the Moon
The back door.  Green eyes and smelly fur!  The werewolf comes for our kid.   Its time!  White Knight teddy armed with a wooden sword and Judy the red Raccoon and her magical red powers!  Its time to vanquish this nightmare before it even starts!  The werewolf tears down the back door and howls in the darkness.  All we can see is the bright green eyes shining in the blackness.  And there awaits White Knight Teddy and Judy the Red Raccoon!  W.K.T lands a flurry of blows with his awesome unbreakable wooden sword as the werewolf cries in pain!  Judy the Red then emits waves of magical red beams that knock the werewolf out the back door as it screams in fear and scampers back into the woods! And so W.K.T And Judy the red Raccoon triumph over the would be nightmare that was trying to haunt their kid.  NOT TONIGHT!!!

White Knight Teddy And Judy the Red Raccoon ( Stuffed Animal Guardians )
I'm the Emperor and my face looks like a prune. I have dark circles around my eyes which also makes me look like a raccoon. My name is Palpatine but I'm also known as Darth Sidious. Everybody pukes when they see me because I look hideous. I was able to trick Anakin Skywalker into turning to the Dark Side. I actually convinced him that I had the power to save his bride. I can't believe that I was able to turn him into a Sith Lord as easily as I did. He actually believed that he could save Padme by killing Separatists and kids. I thought that my new Death Star was safe from the rebels, I thought that I had won. But Darth Vader dropped me into the main reactor of the Death Star to save his son. Luke Skywalker removed Lord Vader's mask and he became Anakin Skywalker again. I still can't believe that those **** Ewoks were the reason why my Empire didn't win.

Palpatine The Emperor
I was raised in the wild With all the defiled So my mood was mild While bodies were piled I was a lonely coyote The other creatures didn't know me Because I slinked in the shade To avoid their detection Loneliness is what I had to trade To pass their inspection Other animals couldn't brave the weather Or their fragile arteries were severed They laid there dead I wondered if they ever lived It went to my head What this world can give I saw the buzzards Ring their buzzers Then the maggots fed on their brain While not understanding their pain These images did me no good While I was stuck in the woods And I couldn't see the forest through the trees I was lost If I didn't find a home by winter I would freeze In the frost I tried to find a home in hollowed trees But I was chased out by a bunch of bees And the darkened caves Seemed like shallow graves When that's where bats play But peaceful open meadows Left me susceptible to attack Everything seemed mellow So I had to watch my back Winter was approaching And I saw no solutions The cold air encroaching Like frigid pollution But my shady luck shifted Once I was graciously gifted A powerful and majestic horse That put me on a better course I ride the steed with a leather saddle Made of skin stripped off simple cattle It took the strength of an ox To hold down this fox Yet my domestication Calls for celebration Because now I live in a house Without having to hide like a mouse I can strut like a peacock With a bird of my flock It's a form of animal husbandry Because you're in love with me I'm the insistent critter From a different litter That saw life wither From damage inner I was a raccoon digging through the trash Now I'm a phoenix rising from the ash You're an agricultural guy So vultures circle the sky Looking to harvest your bountiful crop They must smell death underneath it Their presence makes my heart drop And all I want to do is defeat it But even as they get near You remain here We stand together as scarecrows In a defensively unified paired row This is the delightful day You end all my wild ways And eliminate my suffering With your animal husbandry

When education was restricted They ran to religion When solace was stripped away They ran to martyrdom Loved ones fell Hated ones rose As hearts sank To the depths of the maelstrom Fueled by the unholy trinity Value, vindication, and violence Bombs decimate Afghan villages With the precision Of a needle hitting a vein And as casually As a contractor putting a dollar in his pocket The rubble of their town Lost in a mist of dust The rubble of their minds Lost in a mist of vengeance The rabid dog chases the subjugated raccoon The raccoon discovers a sacred hole and hides in it The predator attempts to encroach the void The raccoon quivers in it's sanctuary shelter Finding relief as the hound becomes stuck And laughs as the infected beast starves to death But ecstasy turns to terror As the raccoon realizes it's only way out of this hole Is being blocked by the gargantuan corpse Terror turns to sorrow As the raccoon starves to death Alone In the dark It's holy land now hell For once it had protected the raccoon from unbridled rabies But since the hound's death It's Cerberus size obstructs all progression Holes become graves And prey are left to pray For someone to drop a bomb and clear a path

**** why did you come to this dance with a mask on? Why not the tin man and his rainbow girl? Why not Racine, his hair marcelled down to his chest? Why not come as a stomach digesting its worms? Why you little fellow with your ears at attention and your nose poking up like a microphone? You whig emblem, you woman chaser, who do you dance over the wide lawn tonight clanging the garbage pail like great silver bells?

Raccoon
Jake the Snake F J McCarthy on Jan 9, 2009 Jake was a snake, who felt incomplete. For all of his friends all seemed to have feet. Jake had no feet and it made him so sad, As he watched his friends run with the feet they all had. The raccoon and the squirrel had big furry tails, But all that Jake had were leathery scales. Jake watched the birds flying up in the sky. How wonderful indeed to know how to fly. Jake watched the fish as they swam in the lake. Swimming was one thing that was easy for Jake. Sometimes he would swim, then lie in the sands. He’d think how he’d look with feet or with hands. One day he was laying in the sun on the sand. When he heard such a noise he could not understand. I must see what is wrong , Jake said with a frown. For something is troubling the whole Forest town. He saw all of his friends by the rocks on the hill. Then he saw mother Robin and she looked very ill. He asked his friend Mr. Rabbit why Mother Robin was crying? “Her baby fell out of the nest while she was out flying”. “How is the baby, was he hurt by the fall.?” “the baby is fine, but he’s trapped in this wall”. Jake studied the wall,and looked at the crack. “Has anyone tried to get baby bird back?” The chipmunk and squirrel said the crack was to small. And not even the mole could dig through that wall. Mr. Field-mouse said “I could fit through the crack. But the bottom is deep. How would I get back?” Then Jake started thinking and in the blink of an eye. “I’m the thinnest of all so I’m going to try.” Jake asked Mr. Raccoon to lend him a hand. They climbed up the wall and Jake told him his plan. Mr. Raccoon held Jake’s tail and lowered Jake down the hole. Just then baby bird let out a wail, for Jake had found his goal. “Climb on my neck ” Jake said to the bird “and hold on really tight.” Raccoon pulled them up as the whole forest watched this wonderful Marvelous sight. First came up baby and afterwards Jake. Then everyone cheered what a wonderful snake. He’s saved baby bird and everyone knew it. Of all the forest animals only he could do it. The chipmunk and squirrel and even the mole. Had not a hope to get down that hole. Yet Jake with his body so long and so thin. Saved baby bird from the fix he was in. Jake felt so happy, he didn’t need feet. Or a big furry tail to make him complete. “I am very complete”cried Jake. “I’m so happy to be just a snake.” Then baby bird said in a voice rather small. “Don’t make that mistake, your not just a snake. Your my friend and a hero, your Jake the Snake. The very best snake of all!

Pour savoir le jour et l'heure Où tu es plus portée à l'amour J'ai entrepris la lecture des Secrets de l'Amour, du poète Koka Et je sais désormais que tu es femme-lotus Volupté Parfaite comme il n'en existe qu'une sur un million Tu me provoques, tu me charmes, tu me fascines Tu me subjugues, tu es ma Muse, ma courtisane de haut rang Tu possèdes les soixante-quatre arts libéraux Et les trente-deux modes musicaux de Radha, Amante de Krishna, Tu es multiple de huit, ma biche-jument-éléphante Tu es magique et ensorceleuse Tu t'appelles Padmini, Ganika Tu es espiègle , tu es folâtre, ma Nanyika Avec toi je peux m'unir sans péché Ma pudique impudique Car tu sais tout ce qu'on peut faire Quand les lumières sont éteintes Et les passions enflammées. Tu sais apprendre à parler aux perroquets et aux sansonnets Tu pratiques les combats de coqs, de cailles et de pigeons Tout comme les combats de la langue Tu sais faire un carrosse avec des fleurs. Je ne sais encore si je suis homme-bleu, Homme-lièvre ou homme-cerf Moi qui me croyais homme-raccoon, Homme-orphie et homme-mangouste J'ai baisé l'image de ton ombre portée Sur l'oreiller rose ce matin Un baiser de déclaration Un plaisir sans merci et sans trève Que ton ombre m'a rendu En me besognant De la langue, des mains et des pieds Et de toutes nos parties honteuses comme honnêtes Baiser pour baiser, Caresse pour caresse, Coup pour coup, Corps pour corps, Yoni pour lingam ! Que d'égratignures tu m'as infligées de tes ongles acérés La patte de paon et le saut du lièvre Me marquent à jamais Et je t'ai imprimé sur ta chair la feuille de lotus bleu. Et de morsures en morsures J'ai saisi avec mes lèvres tes deux lèvres Tandis que tu jouais à me saisir la lèvre inférieure. Si tu rêves comme moi d'impudiques amours Si tu rêves comme moi d'écrire un nouveau chapitre Aux huit cents vers du Ratira-Hasya, Les Secrets de l'Amour, du poète Koka, Retrouvons nous en congrès, veux-tu, Avant que l'été ne s'achève Au congrès de la femme-lynx-lotus et de l'homme-raccoon-mangouste Si tu rêves d'impudiques amours Si tu veux que je chante ta semence d'amour Ton kama solila, mélange de lys et de musc.

If you were reincarnated as an animal Knowing everything you do now Would you treat humans differently than animals already do? Or would you bite the hand that beats? Or would you bite the mouth that eats? Would you treat humans kindly? That could be a bullet finding I come across a shivering raccoon Stuck inside a winter monsoon It's too young to survive I could help I surmise Its coat can't protect its form In my car it's nice and warm But I don't understand the raccoon And I fear it doesn't understand me Though I'm not proud of it I travelled around it Mosquitoes want your blood to survive The same way I want your love to arrive There's a pestering orbit Your teeth grind and grit I feel the need to feed I am overcome by greed I want you inside me So I insert my proboscis And you turn into colossus It's an animal process When you squash us So animals grow stingers And poison that lingers When we use our fingers To smash them And detach them From our humanistic existence They have a reproductive resistance So we keep fighting And they keep biting Because there's no end in sight When we see animals take flight We define anything different as animal This is our excuse to act tyrannical They feel our wrath When they're in our path We turn them into roadkill This world becomes a landfill Our hollowed humanity on the shelf We treat animals as we treat ourself

Animals
The squirrels played havoc around the house, picking stuffing from the porch swing, packing it into their cheeks, until they were swollen, pregnant, to fluff their nests with synthetic cotton. They bounded about the yard stopping to squeeze fallen walnuts, like supermarket melons, to see if they were ripe or rotten. Their neighbors, the gopher and raccoon and rabbit were overrun by the squirrels myriad brood. Some (squirrels) sought refuge in refuse, chewing large holes in the trash bins. This would feed many a raccoon’s hungry mouth, but none of them would show thanks. When the numbers began to spill over from the trees, the squirrels began occupying the gutters, causing sheets of ice to cataract, frozen down the sides of the house, and then when the old man found stuffing from his swing in the attic, enough had become enough. Something had to be done. This blatant malfeasance must be dealt with, and so he would devise a plan, a trap. The old man stood watching the plump little devils bounce and leap around his yard, when he saw the bin. And wriggling the fingers on his upturned paw, a sinister plan curled onto his face in a dark smile. He went out to the trash bin and filled it with water, only halfway, no more. He dropped a lightly pumped, bald basketball into the bin, and smiled when the first squirrel drowned in it. Everyday, the old man wriggled his fingers and smiled his dark smile, until he found synthetic swing stuffing in his bed, and realized he had lost.

I like slandering your makeshift forceps. I hammer you down with watery *** and then spill the remainder on the couch. Yarg! A diamond’s worth at least a small intestine, and you are worth whatever’s left over after night has upended itself, poured sideways out of its shellacked crawlspace, and turned the basement sour. There are remnants of you in the park, some red stain by the baseball field where, if you’ll remember, you watched little leaguers build teamwork, and faint splotches on tree bark from your lactations which, if you’ll remember, happened every morning. I whisper your godforsaken name and am slapped in the head. The children cry when I smile. I cry when the children smile. Good heavens. I forbid you from not entering my corridor, even as I set up a barricade. I like my water scalding, my passion chilled, and I like you in easy-to- swallow doses. I like you in my eggs. Ditto the faucet, keyboard, the occasional lily, but do not mess with my pearls. I mumble of apodictic meadows while I sleep. What can I say? I do not mumble of unclogging your bathtub, which has a certain foul repute, and has grown heavy and ugly with your hair, which is everywhere, just as you are everywhere, and wherever, and so ********* hidden it’s not funny anymore, we stopped looking some millennia ago, after scouring the drainpipes, kicking down your doors, dissecting your mattress, speculating about your burial site, etcetera, and even so we have not been really looking all this time, have we, just blaring your name through the speakers, putting wrong numbers on our calling cards, leaving uncooked meat out on the back porch as if you were a raccoon, oh, or a lion, which you are not, or not quite, though, as the books say, you have honey in your stomach, and if you could but be ripped open we would taste and see.

It didn't matter if it was August, and the air felt like an oven on broil, or if it was February, and the dumpsters were icecicles to the soul. We needed ***** and since we didn't have jobs, the cans, at 5 cents a piece were our aluminum tickets to sweet relief. The magic click. Enough cans meant a bottle of whiskey ***** gin, anything to dull the sharp, vivid pain of life. We sifted through cat **** catsup ***** diapers discarded ***** mags, and all the other garbage from the rich and the poor. One winter morning, I threw back a heavy metal lid, and there was a fat raccoon looking up at me. If Bacchus or Dionysus were smiling, we found a full bottle. It happened once in a while during summer when the college kids headed home. Miles of walking, freezing or burning up, We were the aluminum cowboys.

We were the Aluminum Cowboys
trapped in a ribcage frail and fretting and fettered hummingbird heart beats harder and harder your skeleton fingertips tilling the ground combing for the catacombs of all your past lives look what i have done for you teeth marks to chart your growth black red purple sky no stars no light no for thine is the kingdom, the dead leaf diadem battle-ready raccoon eyes, scored and scowling if you do not run you will be left behind.

**** it then, Let the strangers be scared. I wanna bend you over a chair, Lift up your skirt Rip off your underwear Wrap a hand around your throat Grab a handful of your hair And bury myself deep As I feel you gasp for air. I want to beat you, but not out of Anger or Hate, I want to treat you like a Queen until you plead to be ***** And then I will Take You Violate You Invade You Your Body Is a Temple I'll Pray at And then Raze. I want to leave you, Drenched in sweat Raccoon Eyed, Hair a mess Satisfied. While you recover, I'll recharge- and like a Lover, I'll tend your Heart. Until you can move Again, And tell me you have The Energy And I'll throw you back down on the Bed, With the same violent intensity. I'll love you with a vengeance, My battering ram at your gates As I conquer your sacred kingdom in this Incendiary Embrace. My lust for you is Oppressive, but my Love burns brighter than All I want to be the Tyrant of your Body - Absolute Control. I want to hold you down by the wrists and stare in your eyes as you cry my name Drink in the dance of your perfect **** As I assail you with pleasure and pain I long to feel the quake of your legs As ****** consumes you again Heavenly Daughter of Eve, I'll **** you like a Child of Cain.

Let the Strangers Be Scared
I watched the snow descend to earth Attention sought as flakes give birth Submit to all her majesty Surrender clouded canopy A freezing fox that runs across The curtilage wild turkey's toss A lofty oak tree hides raccoon Two fledgeling birds lose their platoon The strapping deer takes off in flight See squirrels flee with all their might An Owl concluding calls of whoo The animals know too eschew All happens when the snowflakes fall Am spellbound by one flake or all The memory each one contain Unique like us and our domain Snowflakes and animals I see We all are different you and me Is random chance its proximious? Creation not dichotomous Am thankful I could see this view And freedom too believe it's true _______________________________________________

*The men line up Up against my brain Too big for its skull They bleed out my eyes And eyelashes become their noose. But you don't ever get in line. So you won't be finished off. Done, you sewn up creature, Will you keep this name?* Go ahead Finish me off with your broken Neck intentions I see how your eyes flutter and shut Like a hospital bed curtain I see the hangmen Dangling from your Eyelashes *Slowly fire red blood dries to a maroon and, there, a raccoon mocks your crawling carcass* Ha ha you know the rhyme then Again and again I'm looking for someone who can understand Awkward crisscrossing needle and thread Your hands are stained red with my blood Now you are gone Your absence leaving Bleeding bullet holes That anyone can walk By and put their fingers in I love the quick high The exasperated rush but I wish now you did not leave Such a perfect exit wound *Needle and thread shaking But Why? Haven't I done this before? A thousand times Change his name. Sew him up. Scared every time.* You changed your name A thousand times since last we met I am cold and tired my wounds deep I love you no-name Sew me up

Home Economics: Poetry by Ann ****** and the Insufferable Student
Raccoon tapping on the windowpane Fuzzy beggar, growing tame Evenings longer, midnights colder      My love and I      Just a little bit older Quarter moon above the trees Wind blows softly, rustling leaves Would you love me if I lost my hair?      No, my dear      And don't you dare Dog curling up by the potbelly stove Whiskers peek from the old mouse hole Grandma's quilt has a brand new patch      No more cookies      Or I'll get fat Rocking chair got a squeak again Sniff the air, smells like rain Horned owl hoots from out the wood      I believe      All life is good Before I die I want to know All the winds and why they blow All the forests, every stream      Why you smile, babe      When you dream

Raccoon Song
Raccoon eyes, Black hair dyes Spiked teased hair Saying "i dont care" To hot to cold Said in bold Palmers lane Little youngens playing Music screaming Carefreeing Having fun Sun to sun

Ma Jalouse, Mon Unique, Mon Ultime Sais-tu ce que Lord Invader, Sam Manning Cyril Monrose, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong Jack Sneed et Ernest Rangling Sans oublier Blue Glaze Mento Band et Phil Madison ? Et je m'arrête là pour l'instant, Sais-tu ce qu'ils ont en commun ? Eh bien vois-tu, ce sont tous mes ombres. Tu ne pourras jamais me comprendre Si tu ne les comprends pas Et si tu ne sais pas ce que représentent pour moi La mangouste et le raccoon. De même que pour te comprendre il faut avoir lu tout Dostoievski Pour me comprendre il faut avoir écouté tout Sly Mongoose Car peut être n'as-tu vu en moi qu'aria et boléro, symphonie et concerto Alors je t'explique : pour comprendre, n'essaie pas de philosopher Lève-toi et bouge tout simplement et tu toucheras l 'essence C'est du folklore, c'est du reggae, c 'est du mento, c'est du calypso, c'est du jazz, C'est instrumental ou c'est vocal C'est moi, mes ascendances et descendances. Sly Mongoose c'est mes Frères Karamasov Smerdiakov, Aliocha, Ivan et Dmitri C'est mon Idiot, mon prince Lev Mychkine C'est mon Joueur, mon Alexei Ivanovitch Mon Rêve d'un Homme Ridicule Et Raskolnikov errant dans la nuit dans Crime et Châtiment. Sly Mongoose c'est l'histoire d'une mangouste maline Qui a baptisé la fille du pasteur De son eau sainte Et qui fuit la Jamaïque Et part à l'étranger Après son forfait. C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui vole les poules les plus grasses de la cuisine Et qui les met dans la poche de son veston C'est l'histoire d'une mangouste qui entre dans la cuisine d'un prédicateur Et qui repart avec une des poules les plus grasses Et tous les chiens savent son nom. il s'appelle Sly Mangoose Il est malin, il est vicieux, le compère C'est mon ombre, que veux-tu Et parfois pour échapper aux prédateurs Il prend l'apparence de l'ombre d'un raccoon.

I'm sorry that I got saltwater all over your shoulder and that I clung to you like I was a jungle animal and you were a tree. I can't help it if my mascara isn't waterproof and sticks to my face making me look like a raccoon. And even though my eyes turn a stunning shade of sea-foam, I hate this. I hate that I can't breathe. It's like my chest collapses like a stubborn child, and the only way it comes back up is if you feed it all the pain and sorrow you so willingly vomited out in the first place. I hate how my face gets all red and wet and no matter how hard I try, I won't dry off. Looking like a raccoon isn't half bad, but looking like the reflection of the state your heart is in is a different story. I hate that my eyes burn and my face feels raw from all of the attempts to dry it off. I hate that when someone asks me, "Are you okay?" my eyes decide to flood like a broken dam pouring over innocent living things. I envy them because at least they are alive. Really alive. While I'm just sitting here moping over what everyone else thinks is nothing. Well, my nothing is something. And that something means more to me than anything that they could ever dream to have. And I'm sorry I look this way. I'm even sorry that I feel this way. But I will never be sorry that what I have has meaning because that's all I need. And that's all I've ever needed. Because I am alright.
