towelette circumstance
towelette circumstance

Fuck me till death do us part like the red sea spot run paint run like the wind of November
Eagle beaks like brainwashed and worn and torn and pouring thunder through the cues and narrows of contoured thought
Masses running. Madness. fire
Trinity wields thorny clubs
Smashing skulls of individuality
Leaving morbid trails of trashed freedom rings.
American history joy ride adolescence.
rubber scumbags puddled. Thrown like
Ringing bells wringing necks




Traditional pick up truck mentality
and brother merle screaming football
as if denoting pain manhood.
A lariat snake like penis rope flopping across grid lines
or cobblestone historically lay like old popes' purple vestments
Crowned visual as megalithic feet crush golden crucifix
Like some hidey hidey ho
Break dancing on grandpas' Cab Calloway vinyls.
A big band sound
In a short wavy gravy of a Saturday night stomp.
Chiding those high cheekbones into higher forms of sin.
As if sin was coincidental to the advent of carnal pleasure
God bless her fo sho . God bless her fo everything else
My little shining star in black stilts and fishnets
With the seams up the back
who causes hard hackles to rise
at the mere spreading of those gracious thighs
leaving men pining for Ben Franklin
like he was a close personal friend

Morphine in my vein
Liquor on my brain
Reefer in my thoughts
Everything insane

This is where I want to be
this is where I am

It doesn't matter unless it hurts.
And it doesn't hurt yet.

It's the same old shit
day after day.
It changes it
doesn't change.
Its good
its bad
who can tell the difference?

A brain needs to be fed
mines been starving for years
wont eat pulp
only the best
almost Epicurean to a fault

I got this blue-collar job
Been driving me nuts
Can't appreciate its meaning anymore

Surrounded by good people
No stress
Minimum angst
With exception to having
to be somewhere at a specific time
against my will
it's a wonderful thing
if I were without responsibility
fucking life
who gave it permission to fuck me
anyway

a light to moderate rainfall in my skull
as the sun fights for freedom
behind prevalent clouds
thought cant penetrate the strata
keeps flying back into my face
like boomerang shit
got bruises in my memory to prove it
like an old man stretching for his plastic gums
in a broken glass in the dark of night
in the neon stretch of halide grins
as pile drivers rhythmic breath
divine creatures mirth
like writhing flowers
In the fog of bleak existence
fear of demons blood.
demons usually you
quandary in motion

A wonderful catch twenty-two of mid-sperm crisis shit
you Planting weeds with foreign seeds
like the wizards in control actually give a flying fuck
as intoxication rides shotgun
with wooden prick in a photo shoot
another pride another page another witness to fallen hype another proverb pissing on dry concrete
steaming as if falling on carbon dioxide verse us versus them. The holy Mary swipe at mist in mother temple sacrifice for turtled assets swing from vines when catholic trips undigested between mothers and Christ's and baskets of twitching carp. It laughs like tar on an influx twist when zerks eat jerks and the beer goes warm from lack of lubrication.

I am a fool. A blue collar clown with a piss poor attitude and a questionable flare for words. My education though extensively well read is nothing more than a high priced fable stuck behind glass and thrown under the bed. It is meaningless. Like so many other things in life. I'm stuck in a box with no windows and no doors being judged by a female swinging pussy like an iron gavel. Like a giant pendulum cast in rusty nails swinging from the black clouds of her shrouded mind slicing and dicing the remnants of my heart into the worthless byproduct parts is parts cornucopia likened to the discarded refuse of the human race as I fall to comparison to pathetic republican who accepts life as well as fat paycheck as proper while I struggle to make ends meet.
No one said it would be easy. And its not getting any easier. And as the negatives roll into my narrow porthole of vision like the maddened bulls of Pamplona I place my penis gratefully in their charging path.

Accepting my castration like a real man. Knowing full well that in the end its all nonsense. A bit player in a two bit universe pissing up a rope for laughs
Its getting harder and harder to pretend. don't know how people maintain this blind happiness from day to day. It increasingly difficult to lie as I digress into old age. One would think after so many years of doing this there would be some measure of proficiency but its simply not true. We can adapt but we cannot change. The human animal is incapable of change. It demonstrates this to us on a daily basis. When things are not going right we bitch we whine we complain. Sometimes, when we are lucky, we overcome.

Its no wonder we war, we rape, we prey on the weak. We are incapable of overcoming ourselves. We stand in our imaginary mirrors falsely admiring the image we've been conditioned to perceive all the while overlooking the fact we are still an animal. Loaded to gills with weakness, contradiction and self-servitude. It's a moral comedy to think we are the superior specie when in fact in the long run we are at the bottom of the food chain. The earth shall swallow us whole in one final grin as if to say thanks for the memories but see you later, pissants.
We might be gods children. It is then our moral obligation to emulate not worship.

To becoming, as opposed to floundering around the planet genuflecting.
Administering false praise to the white man behind the clouds is ridiculous when all the while we wink smugly at our own reflections. It is pure Narcissus.
The idea of attaining this level of superior specie lies in action not word. Since there is no appreciation for the necessity of this change don't expect the dance to start anytime soon.
Females soft slippery dance of fragrant timeless licking tick tock slides like snail over broken glass sing song dithyramb on verdant fields and bliss pond insects buzzing butterfly flutter sipping nectar from sweet cores of beauty grown from moist tundra in sunshine
Music melody like flutes of Pan wrinkle air with bright colors
Arms and legs writhe in lusty meadow whisping winding liquid madness fingers stroking pink flesh wet for penetration eminence
Sparkle light cuckoo bird chirping in my brain. we chew on it as if it were fine steak..
Is was the wild thing smooth with echoes of soft curving lines
And a pink parasol strut with an ass that didn't smell
As bony assed boys act the fool like drooling cowboys
Crude from the neck up
Cruel from the neck down
Their heads foiling balls of red meat
On fluffy crowns of red rolling lust
And she digs them just the same
Where words don't flow
anger rises
Since redundancy flows better than words
anger rises and rises
Its all been said
and said again
anger rises and rises and rises
Everyone is insane accept the insane
Anger rising and rising
and rising and rising
the economy is doing great and yet I am broke
I will continue to be broke despite how great the economy is
The anger is rising and rising
I work for a living
As I make no living
I am educated or so I am told
And yet I feel stupid
I have two children who look up to me
And I am lost in the shuffle of plasticity
Between loss of self and the development of others
I am loved
And yet I am lost
I am loved and yet I am lost. Between rhyme and reason I am out of focus.
Disillusioned. Disappointed. Depressed. The pen has lost its fire. The brush has lost its verve. The penis has lost its way.
Eunuchs in the sun.
There is no evolution in terms of humanity. Our castration has failed and will continue to fail. We are animals billowing with excessive instinct. Suppressed through two thousand years of Christianity and overwrought with emotion bubbling over like a beer poured into a dirty glass. We live our lies on a daily basis so as not to suffer in a next life which may not exist. Crying to the skies for help when in fact the answer comes from within. Look inside. Know thyself. Do all those things you fear. Overcome the humanity. Overcome thyself. Shatter the old rules. Let me supply you with the hammer. Aside from all kinds of shit my life is in the perfect harmony
of a chorus of bagpipes.
When I wake up in the morning I expect to piss up a rope all day long. When I go to sleep I'll have pissed on heaven for nine hours.
Its consistent yet hardly desirable.
My prostate can't possibly hold up under the pressure.
My anger becomes increasingly harder to describe without falling prey to the law and though I'm not even at the high powered rifle and water tower level I'm not beyond trifling with the bare essence of psychological torture. What the hell. It occurs with me on a daily basis. Why not share the wealth
It was between two steel plants and a toxic waste dump. This is where it started.

A simple blue collar town where generations expected to pick up where their fathers left off. A secure job at the plant. A mortgage in a cramped up company street where houses stood armpit to asshole all in a row and you could hear the drunken neighbors beat their wives and children for lack of anything better to do. And the Buffalo Bills were God.
It's a tricky story to relate. Not complex but tricky.
I was surrounded by assholes. I didn't realize it until I was about six when the lady a couple of doors down comes up to me and in a packaged brogue says "Look at ya, why aren't you the little polak from down the street?" And me looking at her all fuddled not knowing what she meant. This kind of bigotry was new to me until later that day when I would go to my father who as one of the local gendarmes was despised by the heavily drunk and disorderly Irish population and would respond to my curiosity by saying "Don't worry son, the woman is an asshole". Satisfied now that I knew what she was I moved on with my life.
     Over the years I found I was really outnumbered, polaks = one. assholes = many. It's a wonderful life.

Screaming silence dead silence the silence where the noise is unbearable. It's the nominal struggle of the inane repetitive existence of the every man. A day in. Day out. Dance
with the devil. Ending with a rotting corpse. Time nonexistent in memoriam.
Oh yes there are categories, labels, and rules to follow but they are meaningless in their feeble intent to control the creator within us all. Society. This thing they've created. This thing we live. This thing we've been forced to chew on like a chunk of fine steak. That has no viable end in
sight.
     Just the other day as I was sitting around watching the rain. Waiting for the second coming of Christ. I thought. Wouldn't Armageddon be a great video game?
As I search for the humor.
The humor of a life the life of all life and it seems I am lost.
Used to be all I needed was a few pushups and a mile run.

Sometimes as I struggle through these pages I wonder what is the use. Talentless and without ambition I founder about pretending to know what I'm saying. All the while laughing because I know I am a liar.
