..fell down + can’t get up..
since the first caveman shambolic +fetid
lay +did not get up humans have not been
fond of death but who loves peace more
than death?
hands up if u think u do
when the wind brings covidlaced spittle
to the nostril’s edge +sister morphine +
sister death wait in the wings this deathbed
thing becomes lugubrious repetitious
+death’s bitches huddle in condos+caves

Fall 2020
trump + mailorderbride took a ride to covidland
didn’t like the diversity or rubbing shoulders with
the petit bourgeoisie
covid is not: racist sexist homophobic it is not a
hater so they felt uberlonely now riding in a sealed
rover trump blows kisses to the masses as covid
crawls up the a**** of his secretservice bitches
while back at the whitesthouse Mel blows hot+cold
about decorating that: fucking x-mas tree (as heard on tape)
oh bartleby oh humanity

FALL 2020
the Harry’s Charbroiled truck is GONE replaced by a
covid testing truck with a moose on the side which
looks more like a beer logo this is all too confusing for
the hipsters who line up for cow + chips as volunteers
make ready the longest Q tips known to mankind
these will be rammed up the beautiful nostrils of said hips
likely better than what they usually shove up there?
while covid tests are free cow+chips at the edge of our swish
park are decidedly not but cost less than a gram of cocaine marginally

..in the 2nd wave of Covid 19 it is the young who are most likely
to contract the disease and they will have longer to live with the
lifelong debilitation..but they continue to herd like lemmings..as the
covidcliff awaits..
(whitegrainy substance..doppelgänger for cocaine..)
Fall 2020 (..rhymes with stash..)
the Harry’s Charbroiled truck sits cowstink+fatted at the
edge of our park feet from the marginalized covidrefugees
line the meanstreets many limp
today i walk on gilded vomit thinking about the bulls at
maple leaf gardens circa 63 backsides smeared dark+fecal
why dad??!
cowboy father said something about straps on their privates
teaching me that a bull’s life in captivity is always intense +
he knew a thing or 2 about captive bulls +who was full of shit

Fall 2020
( Arthur Rimbaud..father’s doppelgänger
+ favourite poet..after me)
what kind of a man is he?
what kind of a man is M.I.A.
on the night his son is about
to break thru?
do u know where he is?
the wife winges i reach for
the dial phone +dial
he is not alone not far from
home the wife will not touch
the stinkbaby
perfect+gesticulate
and when he is 2 she plays too
close to the water’s edge a game
of rolling him

..he will eat my bread and he will observe my religion, the stranger said..
why should he not bear my name?.. (William Faulkner Light in August 1932)
Fall 2020
almost october which is a bit like speaking gibberish to
covidears time is meaningless now and how are u liking
forced zen? beginner’s mind becomes covidfog becomes
i used to know a thing or 2 about the freaking monad about
the portal now i just scratch my grey head
seems while i slept someone made off with my merlot red
and now when i march the boulevards all slashmouth+growl
the denizens part like the legs of the fatted cow who i no
longer eat just the sow
how said my veghead bro can u eat an animal so smart it sheds
virus faster than u can shake your booty? right now in china the
new+improved swine flu incubates as i break the laws of kashrut
and for anybody listening frank zappa is not a fan of jewish women

Fall 5781 ..we have u in dreyerd frank..a.k.a. the styx delta..hotter than a hot rat..
here’s to johnny lennon sitting in heaven with julia
imagine john at 80 imagine john+julia relocating starting over
go ahead imagine putting the bullets back into MDC’s gun
+while you’re at it put his madness under lock +key especially
on december 8th / 80
it is not that we die it is when
for conscious animals dying is
the BIG reveal !
BANG
life is essentially a process of shattering+emergence
an alchemist would come in handy so too an exorcist a therapist?
beyond a certain age a therapist +a priest will encourage u not to
chop off your hand and throw it at the gates but u must u know
who reaches the gates first
shall be king queen👑

Fall 2020
the woman with the perfect redhair + metastatic soulhole
has left the bubble
hey people the beauty myth is just a myth the sidewalks
are littered with
uncovered unhinged unfucked (yes!) and free
and freedom
tastes like revenge

Summer 2020 ..tommy? tommy? apesie?
these disturbances of time+space are befuddling the experts
time has collapsed face it it was a social construct anyway
hey cavepeople rose with the sun hunkered with la luna (this is poetry
fer chrissakes!) seriously though say your goodbyes to the
timespace continuum
you too must be feeling the warp +woof they’re separating the boys
from the men boys to the left men to the right good thing no Nazis in sight
while we women with only emotion to guide us are flotsam on the jetsam of
covid’ssurface like milkscum
buck up ladies! why not watch the bucks in the bubble? or die a slow death
at an unventilated mall? i implore u all: jump on the bandwagon! sports are the
only opiate we have left since the assassination of jesus the gentle rabbi from Galilee

I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire. I give it to you not that you
may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment
and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever
won. They are not even fought. (William Faulkner The Sound+The Fury)
Summer of the Bubble 2020
poet’s doppelgänger
at 60 only 4.5 yrs. away i shall
have my husband buzz my hair with his little black shaver
in the months following i will allow it
to turn silver like my aloof Polish
bubbie’s
and in the winter of 2017 i will fly
to Florida and swim with the dolphins
i’ll try hard not to frighten them with my
bright MAC lipstick +blazing brown eyes
i will be free and more alive than is currently allowed or even recommended
