Thousands of years I have lived And now I feel like little bacteria My heart is filled with pores And people call it ostia The night's are glazing with pleurobranchia And thank God I didn't get ******* hemiplegia Solitary I feel in my animal kingdom I wish I could do something with my boredom. How amazing are these euplectellian shrimps Dieing together imprisoned Symptoms of true love they show to me Together up to death they are known to be. Maybe I am the class imperfecta But by birth I am a mammalia I wish we could both be mycorrhiza And get hallucinated with amanita. Someday we would make a synapse And get into the love with mitochondria And there our nervous system stops And there the impulse will walk . No special organelles I have I'm just 70s ribosome My heart is incipient With foldings of mesosome

My love Bacteria
Heee! Heee! Hooooooo….. Well, Hello, lovebirds…making love are we? One on top of the other still with flesh and organs all intact and making all sorts of crude noises and getting into this messy business – getting your bed sticky and wet with sweat; ah, you beings of flesh and blood and ecstasies unlike me just bones and a mere ghost me now living lonely and in airless worlds sent there by you my wife under that man and you the man who helped poison me - now you are over my wife and you raise your **** to the gods Hheeee…heeee….heeee… Heee! Heee! Hooooooo….. Well, Hello, lovebirds…making love are we? I’ll be back every time the two of you fornicators make love in my bed – shame on you, you murderer; you took my wife, my home –and can’t even afford to buy a new bed; and you even use the condoms I left in the wardrobe... Heee! Heee! Hooooooo….. but I’ll be back every time the two of you close each other like two palms raised in prayer ; and I’ll pull the mosquito net down a bit and peer in to see the two of you naked in bed and I’ve got a bony tongue long enough to lick the both of you!- and to see me with my horrendous eyeballs your phallus will shrink immediately; and that woman, my former wife and eternal betrayer, who mixed poison into my rice and shrimps - every time she sees me, in her shock and fear she’ll **** you out of bed, every time for sure... Heee! Heee! Hooooo…. Well, Hello, lovebirds…making love are we? Heee! Heee! Hooooooo…..

Revenge of the Ghost of the Betrayed Husband

I On the Coast of Coromandel Where the early pumpkins blow, In the middle of the woods Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. Two old chairs, and half a candle,-- One old jug without a handle,-- These were all his worldly goods: In the middle of the woods, These were all the worldly goods, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. II Once, among the Bong-trees walking Where the early pumpkins blow, To a little heap of stones Came the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. There he heard a Lady talking, To some milk-white Hens of Dorking,-- ''Tis the lady Jingly Jones! 'On that little heap of stones 'Sits the Lady Jingly Jones!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. III 'Lady Jingly! Lady Jingly! 'Sitting where the pumpkins blow, 'Will you come and be my wife?' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'I am tired of living singly,-- 'On this coast so wild and shingly,-- 'I'm a-weary of my life: 'If you'll come and be my wife, 'Quite serene would be my life!'-- Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. IV 'On this Coast of Coromandel, 'Shrimps and watercresses grow, 'Prawns are plentiful and cheap,' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'You shall have my chairs and candle, 'And my jug without a handle!-- 'Gaze upon the rolling deep ('Fish is plentiful and cheap) 'As the sea, my love is deep!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. V Lady Jingly answered sadly, And her tears began to flow,-- 'Your proposal comes too late, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'I would be your wife most gladly!' (Here she twirled her fingers madly,) 'But in England I've a mate! 'Yes! you've asked me far too late, 'For in England I've a mate, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!' VI 'Mr. Jones--(his name is Handel,-- 'Handel Jones, Esquire, & Co.) 'Dorking fowls delights to send, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Keep, oh! keep your chairs and candle, 'And your jug without a handle,-- 'I can merely be your friend! '--Should my Jones more Dorkings send, 'I will give you three, my friend! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!' VII 'Though you've such a tiny body, 'And your head so large doth grow,-- 'Though your hat may blow away, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Though you're such a Hoddy Doddy-- 'Yet a wish that I could modi- 'fy the words I needs must say! 'Will you please to go away? 'That is all I have to say-- 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!'. VIII Down the slippery slopes of Myrtle, Where the early pumpkins blow, To the calm and silent sea Fled the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. There, beyond the Bay of Gurtle, Lay a large and lively Turtle,-- 'You're the Cove,' he said, 'for me 'On your back beyond the sea, 'Turtle, you shall carry me!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. IX Through the silent-roaring ocean Did the Turtle swiftly go; Holding fast upon his shell Rode the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. With a sad primaeval motion Towards the sunset isles of Boshen Still the Turtle bore him well. Holding fast upon his shell, 'Lady Jingly Jones, farewell!' Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. X From the Coast of Coromandel, Did that Lady never go; On that heap of stones she mourns For the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. On that Coast of Coromandel, In his jug without a handle Still she weeps, and daily moans; On that little hep of stones To her Dorking Hens she moans, For the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, For the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.

The Courtship Of The Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones— In fact, he’s remarkably fat. He doesn’t haunt pubs—he has eight or nine clubs, For he’s the St. James’s Street Cat! He’s the Cat we all greet as he walks down the street In his coat of fastidious black: No commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers Or such an impreccable back. In the whole of St. James’s the smartest of names is The name of this Brummell of Cats; And we’re all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats! His visits are occasional to the Senior Educational And it is against the rules For any one Cat to belong both to that And the Joint Superior Schools. For a similar reason, when game is in season He is found, not at Fox’s, but Blimpy’s; He is frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen Which is famous for winkles and shrimps. In the season of venison he gives his ben’son To the Pothunter’s succulent bones; And just before noon’s not a moment too soon To drop in for a drink at the Drones. When he’s seen in a hurry there’s probably curry At the Siamese—or at the Glutton; If he looks full of gloom then he’s lunched at the Tomb On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton. So, much in this way, passes Bustopher’s day- At one club or another he’s found. It can be no surprise that under our eyes He has grown unmistakably round. He’s a twenty-five pounder, or I am a bounder, And he’s putting on weight every day: But he’s so well preserved because he’s observed All his life a routine, so he’ll say. Or, to put it in rhyme: “I shall last out my time” Is the word of this stoutest of Cats. It must and it shall be Spring in Pall Mall While Bustopher Jones wears white spats!

The Pobble who has no toes Had once as many as we; When they said "Some day you may lose them all;" He replied "Fish, fiddle-de-dee!" And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink Lavender water tinged with pink, For she said "The World in general knows There's nothing so good for a Pobble's toes!" The Pobble who has no toes Swam across the Bristol Channel; But before he set out he wrapped his nose In a piece of scarlet flannel. For his Aunt Jobiska said "No harm Can come to his toes if his nose is warm; And it's perfectly known that a Pobble's toes Are safe, -- provided he minds his nose!" The Pobble swam fast and well, And when boats or ships came near him, He tinkledy-blinkledy-winkled a bell, So that all the world could hear him. And all the Sailors and Admirals cried, When they saw him nearing the further side - "He has gone to fish for his Aunt Jobiska's Runcible Cat with crimson whiskers!" But before he touched the shore, The shore of the Bristol Channel, A sea-green porpoise carried away His wrapper of scarlet flannel. And when he came to observe his feet, Formerly garnished with toes so neat, His face at once became forlorn, On perceiving that all his toes were gone! And nobody ever knew, From that dark day to the present, Whoso had taken the Pobble's toes, In a manner so far from pleasant. Whether the shrimps, or crawfish grey, Or crafty Mermaids stole them away - Nobody knew: and nobody knows How the Pobble was robbed of his twice five toes! The Pobble who has no toes Was placed in a friendly Bark, And they rowed him back, and carried him up To his Aunt Jobiska's Park. And she made him a feast at his earnest wish Of eggs and buttercups fried with fish, - And she said "It's a fact the whole world knows, That Pobbles are happier without their toes!"

Some playful shrimps clean the octolord's suction cups. One of their antennae buzzes a message up one of his orange tentacles and registers in the Octolord's mind: the silly sun is playing! Another shrimp: what's that sun up to now? The Octolord opened his mighty eyehole lids. The sun! What's... NOTHING

Rice Paper - Only in Vietnam
Golden sand tickling your toes Pebbles gleaming, glistening, slushing When the tide comes back to shore. Sand dunes hiding wildlife, Multitudes of migratory birds, Safely returning every year to This beautiful, marshy paradise. Skies so orange, pink and red, An artists palette of natural art Greet you at sunrise and sunset. ***** kippers, cod and plaice Shrimps, cockles and whelks, Mushy, minty peas and chips, The show at the end of the pier. The lifeboats and their hardy crew Risking their lives to save others, When visitors run into trouble At the mercy of the cold North Sea. Crumbling coastlines, cliff walks And nature reserves full of the Scent of wild garlic and herbs, Norfolk lavender. Steam engines, Fishing boats, river boats, Paddling boats and cycles Take you on journeys Around the Broads or Past the famous Castles. Tigers and leopards peer Through the bars of their Zoo homes by the sea. Easterly winds that bite your Fingers as they whistle and Howl through the City. Guest houses closed for The winter as you stroll The lonely promenades Breathing in the air. Queen Bodicea, Normans, Vikings and Romans all Marched through this Historical landscape And yet we remain Stalwart and strong Proud of our heritage, Our roots, our birthplace There's only one place Better than Norfolk, And that's the Beautiful Ozarks.

I Once Mr. Daddy Long-legs, Dressed in brown and gray, Walked about upon the sands Upon a sumer's day; And there among the pebbles, When the wind was rather cold, He met with Mr. Floppy Fly, All dressed in blue and gold. And as it was too soon to dine, They drank some Periwinkle-wine, And played an hour or two, or more, At battlecock and shuttledore. II Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs To Mr. Floppy Fly, 'Why do you never come to court? I wish you'd tell me why. All gold and shine, in dress so fine, You'd quite delight the court. Why do you never go at all? I really think you ought! And if you went, you'd see such sights! Such rugs! Such jugs! and candle-lights! And more than all, the King and Queen, One in red, and one in green!' III 'O Mr. Daddy Long-legs,' Said Mr. Floppy Fly, 'It's true I never go to court, And I will tell you why. If I had six long legs like yours, At once I'd go to court! But oh! I can't, because my legs Are so extremely short. And I'm afraid the King and Queen (One in red, and one in green) Would say aloud, "You are not fit, You Fly, to come to court a bit!"' IV 'O Mr. Daddy Long-legs,' Said Mr. Floppy Fly, 'I wish you'd sing one little song! One mumbian melody! You used to sing so awful well In former days gone by, But now you never sing at all; I wish you'd tell me why: For if you would, the silvery sound Would please the shrimps and cockles round, And all the ***** would gladly come To hear you sing, "Ah, hum di Hum"!' V Said Mr. Daddy Long-legs, 'I can never sing again! And if you wish, I'll tell you why, Although it gives me pain. For years I cannot hum a bit, Or sing the smallest song; And this the dreadful reason is, My legs are grown too long! My six long legs, all here and there, Oppress my ***** with despair; And if I stand, or lie, or sit, I cannot sing one little bit!' VI So Mr. Daddy Long-legs And Mr. Floppy Fly Sat down in silence by the sea, And gazed upon the sky. They said, 'This is a dreadful thing! The world has all gone wrong, Since one has legs too short by half, The other much too long! One never more can go to court, Because his legs have grown too short; The other cannot sing a song, Because his legs have grown too long!'

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear, Who has written such volumes of stuff. Some think him ill-tempered and queer, But a few find him pleasant enough. His mind is concrete and fastidious, His nose is remarkably big; His visage is more or less hideous, His beard it resembles a wig. He has ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers, (Leastways if you reckon two thumbs); He used to be one of the singers, But now he is one of the dumbs. He sits in a beautiful parlour, With hundreds of books on the wall; He drinks a great deal of marsala, But never gets tipsy at all. He has many friends, laymen and clerical, Old Foss is the name of his cat; His body is perfectly spherical, He weareth a runcible hat. When he walks in waterproof white, The children run after him so! Calling out, "He's gone out in his night- Gown, that crazy old Englishman, oh!" He weeps by the side of the ocean, He weeps on the top of the hill; He purchases pancakes and lotion, And chocolate shrimps from the mill. He reads, but he does not speak, Spanish, He cannot abide ginger beer; Ere the days of his pilgrimage vanish, How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear
She sits from where the rainbow arches into the river. As I eye her fishing net she reads the question in my mind. *I'm waiting for three thirty when tides begin to fall but the shrimps can't go back.* When the bank begins to bare she glides into the waves till the water cools her ******* I walk away knowing she would bob up to the hour the moon is upon her face and she has made another morrow from the river.

Living by the River
If he lacked polish and was avaricious without any limit, he could have taken her  by force and justified that she provoked, knowing from each move she made, she was teasing him, and taking it to the extreme, he may have gone over to the top, any moment. They stayed in two rooms adjacent in that backwater resort, a breath taking delight, in the mornings she paraded in front of his room, skimpily dressed, as he came out, her beauty seemed to overflow from bra top and she encouraged him in many ways by suggesting many possibilities of pleasure. A waiter comes and knocks at  his door he gets a complimentary drink, his favorite courtesy to her(obviously she has made meticulous research) along with shrimps and clams cooked in olive oil. When he came out for an evening stroll, at the far end of the compound, in the shallow part of the lake, she was taking bath, with an exhibitionist flourish when he smiled at her visibly timid, she amorously pursed her lips, she was in an adventurous mood, like nature at the time of bloom. "Seen your paintings, loved those sensual nudes reminds me more of myself, in front of a mirror, obviously they are all seekers of pleasure, I am sure. I am a singer, they say my voice seduces, all you to me do the same when I see you as the painter, in flesh and blood" she paused for a  breath. "If I lacked polish, my paintings wouldn't have the magic, you speak about; it's not deliberately created, that's impossible. It's pure poetry, that oozes by itself, a blessing I earned.

Express the best way one deems fit, be liberated."

The possibilities of pleasure
If he lacked polish and was avaricious without any limit, he could have taken her  by force and justified that she provoked, knowing from each move she made, she was teasing him, and taking it to the extreme, he may have gone over to the top, any moment. They stayed in two rooms adjacent in that backwater resort, a breath taking delight, in the mornings she paraded in front of his room, skimpily dressed, as he came out, her beauty seemed to overflow from bra top and she encouraged him in many ways by suggesting many possibilities of pleasure. A waiter comes and knocks at  his door he gets a complimentary drink, his favorite courtesy to her(obviously she has made meticulous research) along with shrimps and clams cooked in olive oil. When he came out for an evening stroll, at the far end of the compound, in the shallow part of the lake, she was taking bath, with an exhibitionist flourish when he smiled at her visibly timid, she amorously pursed her lips, she was in an adventurous mood, like nature at the time of bloom. "Seen your paintings, loved those sensual nudes reminds me more of myself, in front of a mirror, obviously they are all seekers of pleasure, I am sure. I am a singer, they say my voice seduces, all you to me do the same when I see you as the painter, in flesh and blood" she paused for a  breath.

tommy goes diving
It was a feeling of euphoric sensibility. There was a gymnasium full of shrimps, all squirming around, trying to gain insight on their miserable minds. As a sat their watching them squirm, I accepted the feeling of wonderful greatness. Just happy to be alive and among these other cool things in the gymnasium. All the same beings, but minutly similar personalities. And as I blew my smoke, and cleared the pass to me greatness, I realized, its these shrimps who make me who I am.

Shrimps in Gym Class
Where the river abandons herself to the creek and the mudbank is cratered with crabclaws waits the old man. He doesn't know his years but his ears are a sonic gift catching the tonal variations of tides seemingly for eons evolving with the mangrove map into a flawless tracker of how far the moon would recline for ***** to be holed out and what shoreline the water would touch before the shrimps starlight driven make a beeline for the net. I encountered him once in the absurdity of a time when I was high and he lowly crouching was making art by the creek. Who was the poet I could never tell.

little tommy turtle
Walking over ice, above thick frozen sea surface, how could one imagine, a sunken ship is below there, that once carried lives and hopes, wrecked and buried- now part of a  myth our frozen past unseen. One understands things, the way one pleases, and makes oneself believe it is the truth. In certain moments, silence alone speaks, making you aware of other realities. You see wonders and realize, you need to change,inside out to be in tune with realities; often times fantasies in masquerades. The water world below has its own realities, I see the water bed, clear, eerie and desolate. smooth rounded pebbles, bearing mysterious meanings, imbibed in their lives in rolling, from mountain to plains, on their way to sea. Marked stones peered at my face, with petrified dense smiles. I felt a stranger, a fictitious being. "Come on" they said, "time is cruel, we are trapped here under, beds of rivers and lakes, unable to unburden our ancient memories of primordial world, heaped on us through ages." I felt the presence of an invisible sea, mermaids of the past, with mysterious stories, girls drowned and took refuge there never to go back. Water world is the other side of darkness, permeated by a yellow light in which strange life forms masquerading as eels, shrimps and cuttle fish, tell you strange tales you never want to believe. I came up quick, surfacing in another world and found, the girl i love to be with, stands perplexed. "Did you by any chance find a world down there and decided to stay back, I was wondering" she teased. "And perhaps there would be a girl, who would  have enticed you, with her cold charm and voluptuous curves" *"Truth" I told her," is stranger indeed, There is a world, but it shouldn't keep you enthralled, we should forget it for now" though told her this,  I didn't name  that maiden wearing dark whose eyes are all expectation*

crashing lashing smashing the waves came to shore beating the craggy rock ledges with their salty paws crashing lashing smashing the waves came to shore scuttling the shrimps and ***** into the rock pool floors crashing lashing smashing the waves came to shore stirring the sandpipers to flight as they've done so many times before crashing lashing smashing the waves came to shore

The Waves Came To Shore
Come on down to china town, where the rice is white and the chicken brown. The beef is sweet,  spices ground. Rice sweet and sour.  Shrimps rolled in duck sauce and shifted flour. Soup on the side, with soy and curry powder.

shores of ireland
*Had I been a poet river born Flowed at ebbs to the sea Fed on her shores fields of corn On her face etched the sky gaily! Had I been a poet river bred Rode her waves of lunar tide Kissed her bank in cool summer shade And never ever left her side! I would have grown a love riverine For all lives feeding on her breast Fishes shrimps the dolly dolphin ***** turtles and the rest! One moonlit night when she rose high Drowned me in her beauteous wine In a feathery drop on her bed I would lie Breathing river poet’s one last line!*

River Poet
Wake up, hello, wake up, hello, wake up, hello, Shaped are the pale clouds that billow In my lucid dreams, blue, orange, pink and bright yellow Now and later I dream of snicker wrappers sticking to my pillow Purple trees surrounding me Laffy taffy toes when I see my feet and I laugh and giggle Paranoid in my sleep I just ate my baby nieces skittles And my little sisters cereal With goose pimples and spiders tingling up and down my skin My brain is pulsing harder No, no, don't let those cats get in Because Dolce ate my shrimps, and Gucci ate my cake.... Joe Put the bag down Jake! Like I'm Alonzo on a sugar high from all the skittles When I stop dreaming fluffy cat, pink, and bright yellow pillows I need to slow it down with the herbs I bought shopping for medicinal
