Saw the  Punk Priestess  last week

with her 2 kids  in tow   Patti wearing

spectacles & confessing her  HAPPINESS

Not standing in a pool of warm urine    But

taking a  peebreak  mid-show    How strange

The highlight of her middle-aged blabfest:

We didn’t have cell phones back then

long distance was expensive  and your

boyfriend  didn’t call you everyfuckingnight !

When I was training to be a Parole Officer         37 yrs. ago

they gave us a  once over lightly  Freudian Primer

(to help with hardened criminals)

DO NOT MESS WITH DEFENSES THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON

Would that it were 1984  & Patti were still pissing

on the floor   My defenses came unglued during the

postpunkpeebreak   And I now think thoughts I’d     be arrested for      

This must be the denouement

THE SECOND

THE  SECOND    COMING ?

Two whitehaired men   eye me

One has the laugh of a 6 yr. old boy

I cannot say that I am  not  intrigued

I have probably been   closer to         death’s door  

than they   in the past few weeks

A near overdose of migraine meds

The cure in this case far worse than    the disease:

twitchy muscles nausea racy heart  bizarre intentions

not to mention   ideations –       My cabbie wondered

if I might be pregnant ?

Which sounded thoroughly   messianic    to me

NOT FADE AWAY

DO      NOT  FADE  AWAY

I am wearing so many pastels today

I may fade away   into the misty blues

and pinks  in the park

Spring has been on backorder

But now I see the  northern citydwellers

crawl out of caves   weary    pastey    and

near rancid   with indoor heating

Soon they will be on patios  gnashing

their  Summerteeth   sweltering in the

blast furnace  that is our ecological    karma

But for now Please :  Stay off the pesticidal grass  & enjoy the tampered tulips

Could there be a Spring more laden with

foolish searching for meaning   when there   isn’t any ?
