"shithouse" poems
Governments fall from sheer indifference. Authority figures, deprived of the vampiric energy they **** off their constituents, are seen for what they are: dead empty masks manipulated by computers. And what is behind the computers? Remote control. Of course. Look at the prison you are in, we are all in. This is a penal colony that is now a Death Camp. Place of the Second and Final Death. Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. Don’t intend to be there when this ********* goes up. Nothing here now but the recordings. Shut them off, they are as radioactive as an old joke…

William Burroughs: Seven Souls
She walked barefoot in the desert and wore desert boots to bed. My baby was topsy turvy dipsy swervy crossed up curvy clean out of her head. A cast iron face that kept the truth bound and shackled. Deep inside her head. Self deception was her stock in trade and every choice she ever made was reasoned Wearing blinders.The snake that ate her tail Her logic was. Circular in nature no ending or beginning. Which guaranteed her winning Regardless. But only in her twisty wheelhouse. Crazy as aa ********* rat. Twisting facts into tasty pastry. Seving them up on shiny ware. Neither here nor either there Calculating slipknot tension Telling tales too tall to mention The daughter of the pretzel maker Part deluded.Rabid faker. Pretzel logic Pretzel minded. Twisted now and twisted later. Down the road I go.

Pretzel Logic
Jill. Fred phoned. He can't make tonight. He said he'd call again, as soon as poss. I said (on your behalf) OK, no sweat. He said to tell you he was fine, Only the crap, he said, you know, it sticks, The crap you have to fight. You're sometimes nothing but a walking ********* I was well acquainted with the pong myself, I told him, and I counselled calm. Don't let the ******* get you down, Take the lid off the kettle a couple of minutes, Go on the town, burn someone to death, Find another **** giver her some hammer, Live while you're young, until it palls, Kick the first blind man you meet in the ***** Anyway he'll call again. I'll be back in time for tea. Your loving mother.

Have you ever visited a public ********* When you were really bursting for a dung And sadly found the only cubicle Was vile and ill-prepared to meet your needs, Its stench beyond your wildest nightmare dread? And yet you bravely held your breath and looking Down into the cracked, caked enamel bowl Beheld a horrid, putrid panful there, The likes of which you never dreamed you'd find And live to tell the ******* tale to mortal man. About a hundred people's lurking turds All heaped and piled up to the very brim, Some soft and runny, squashed down by the weight Of countless others, some smudged with blood Lying there like half-cooked hamburgers. And there was barely ******* space in the pan For you to add a steaming trio of your own To the rancid, obscene horrors lurking there As you crouched, puking, with your ******* round your ankles Terrified in case they fell onto the piss-swamped floor. And you noticed with your reeling senses That there wasn't any ****** paper either, Nor had there been for many a long day Judging from the walls' awesome sorry state All covered in ****** brown elevens. (SEE NOTE BELOW)

Brown Elevens
All the world's a ********* And all the lads and ladettes mere defecators, Gratifying oozing exits and entrances; And one man perforce enacts too many roles, His acts being seven deaths. D'abord, the baby, ******** and ******* on his mummy's frock. Then, the errant truant with his rucksack And pock-marked wanker's face, creeping like death Foul-trouser'dly to school. Next a teenager, Panting like mad dog, with an oozing pustule Dripping oe'r his girlfriend's pubics. Then a hoodie, Full of strange oaths, and dressed up like a freak, Lacking in honour, decency, and up for aggro, Seeking the respect of loathsome peers Even on the street corner. And then the adult With bulging beer belly, and ample burgers stuff'd, With eyes dulled by unfulfilled promises, Mortgaged to the hilt, and indebted to Visa, And so he wastes his life. The sixth age dawns Before he knows it, bald futility, With ****** in pocket, five quid a pill, His youthful hopes well fuck'd, the world too much For his ignorance, and his vain butch rantings Reverting soon to teenage curses, coughs And tobacco'd wheezings. Last we see him, Ending a pointless and useless existence, Clutching to his piss-stained Zimmer frame, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans pension fund.

The Seven Ages of Modern Life
All those decorations from last season on your door, they won't help your fading memories to last. Let's admit that we're all ghosts in waiting.      Knock one back with me. We can rattle our chains to Christmases past. Tally up. Count the sum. See, I've got a clever face. But I ain't no plastic monkey on your dashboard. 'Cuz I've done my share of sinning and I've told my share of lies. But this heart's built ********* tough like a Ford. Come again to the ball. We can bring along our masks. We can hide our pretty faces' ugly creases. We can laugh. We can dance. We can pretend we're still young. But we can't deny our dents.           Not tonight. No, I won't deny my dents--Not tonight. Out the door, night is cold. Let the band begin again. Doubt me now, but I am only getting warmed up. Though you've done your share of dancing, you're not really wanting out. Just like me: you never like an empty cup. Tally up. Count the sum. I might be deaf, blind and dumb. I ain't like the ******* monkeys on your dashboard. I'm just a ghost in ***** sheets and I have made my share of beds and I believe I'll ******* sleep fine tonight. And you should try and sleep fine tonight. Well, all those pretty lights, strung up last season on your door, they won't help your fading fortitude to last. Let's confess that we're just ghosts in waiting.           One more dance with me. We can haunt this town and recall Christmas past.

Ornaments
a refugee from Yale, and the stale stench of old money, he took a job with the park service where he maintained outhouses, and got high in the cover of cottonwoods this crap crew job gave him no deferment from the draft, so he landed in Can Tho he didn't clean outhouses there--little people did, stirring his dreck in burning diesel for 75 cents a day when his Huey was shot down in the Mekong, only he and his door gunner survived they hid, submerged in paddies until dark hearing faint but ferocious voices of the VC who never found them--and they made the miracle mile back to base camp, covered in muck that smelled like dung; a scent that stuck with him in dreams, no matter how much he bathed when he came home, he again labored for the forest service, and asked for ********* duty fearing if he lost the smell, he would lose himself as well .

Who is the poet of the ********* wall The one who mocks and curses us all He takes the **** out your private parts in rhyme A sort of obscene Wordsworth a voice of our time And no can escape his poetical bent When a message from the bladder to the brain is sent You have no option but to answer natures call And to face up to the facts and the writing on the wall

Remember Pops? I mentioned him in #1. He is black, 82 going on 29. A heart of gold and hide thicker than an old oak. Well, the old **** just left me here in his rental trailer installing a new floor in a bathroom. He had to go get a quickie, I aspire to be so spry when I am 29. Anyhow, when we were riding to Lowe's in Enterprise, to get the vinyl, for his ********* Sirius(tm? trademark whatevr) was playing Muddy Waters, and Pops drove past all the way to Opp cause we were engrossed in his story about a black cat bone. Geechee people and Tennessee lore. We turned around in Opp and headed back to Enterprise, thinking about that black cat being boiled alive and one bone floating upstream.

Screams #3
#*Weapons have been developed to create the damaging effects of high-energy EMP. These are typically divided into nuclear and non-nuclear devices. Such weapons, both real and fictional, have become known to the public by means of popular culture.*                                                                            Wikipedia One E.M.P. could bring this whole thing down; finale to steal the technocrats’ crown. Did God intend for us to live this way like hell on credit with heaven to pay? One burst of apocalyptic clarity: all it would take to reverse the polarity… one massive electro-magnetic pulse the data-driven ********* to convulse. You were dumbed down so they could set you up to drink from the Nanny-State’s golden cup… This Babylonian One-World vintage exacerbates thirst: accursed beverage, enhancing global madness as it’s drunk; imbibers cannot gauge how low they’ve sunk. The dregs are drained, only to be refilled; the elixir of doom is thusly swilled. When the chips go down as the system ends and there’s no cash paid for your dividends, assurance (like health insurance) falters as your inhuman condition alters. By then you’ll be ready to wonder why (although you appear unready to die) whether Man without God is worth a **** in the Sovereign Redeemer’s master-plan.

Best Bets are Off
A wise pope once said a man's ambition must indeed be small to write his name upon a ********* wall But for want of superstition and tales told tall I'll play that ancient game ....right after my last call Preluding my expiration just before the fall I'll seek the Devil's fame and inscribe that ***** stall By hook, by crook, or explosive indigestion Every nook, every sideways look shall bear my ugly shame For what better eulogy book than that old ********* wall That great temple of the read
