#MEASURE

“Measure twice cut once,”
says our local carpentry dunce.
Good advice, yes,
but for him it’s a guess
between the two rulers
he uses for cuts.

Ticket stub from the early 1990s, when all of theatrical Star Wars could be screened from midnight to 6am.

#LITERATURE

I’ll loan you George Orwell,
through a code on your cell,
and once you are done,
try Fahrenheit 451
and some cyberpunk futures
to serve as your tutors
and keep you alert
while we’re on the run.

A question to ask about EVERY new #law: do the imagined benefits justify the deaths that might occur during this law's enforcement and the further skewing of an inherently unjust society from an unbalanced application of this law against folks who are already disproportionately policed? #vss365
#LAW

Every new law is a law to be broken,
a break in the social contract betokened,
granting the state a new source of strife
and one more excuse for taking a life
or further restraining those who survive
without the means to prop up the regimes
of the so-called justice of justice deprived

#LANGUAGE

Down at the docks,
chewing on jam sangwich,
the children are collecting words
for their brand new language;
from each longshoreman’s curse,
to every sailor’s bawdy verse,
they capture it in crayon
and urge each other hang on
for something even worse.

We are #history gluttons,
slaughtering glories
to gorge on the mutton,

blending,
blanching,
blanding,

Shall we do a 9/11?
Shall we do a lunar landing?

How will history judge
this stream of steamy sludge,
the all-you-can-cram nostalgia buffets
until nothing remains
of our remaining days.

#GEOGRAPHY

The landlord died
without any heirs
so the tenants rose up,
declared the land theirs,
established a charter,
grew crops to barter,
and lived lives reflective
of an anarcho-collective.

#FAMOUS

How nice to etch your name
into every stranger’s brain,
to drop from their tongue,
legendary and ever young,
universally known,
deserving of a throne.
How easy then to ignore
all those who knew before
what a jerk your really were.

#EDUCATION

Educate yourself!
Read every textbook on the shelf!
But as you exit the walls
of the tony lecture halls
wipe the ivory tower grit and grout
from your boots on your way out!

#Domestic or imported?

I want to drink water
sprung from the footfalls
of a noble’s daughter
as she runs through fields
of dewdrop yields
to meet with her lover
under secretive cover
of a hay wagon load
pulled down the road
by mares of dark mottle,
and if you don’t mind,
leave the bottle!

#CREATURE

Creature, creature,
double feature,
behind the back
of their father-preacher,
and his fierce disapprovies
of drive-in horror movies
that turn strong men
into shameful screechers.

But lo, they find the godly man
in his holy-roller van…

#BUSINESS

Joey Knuckles
kicked down the door,
Jackknife Johnnie
made the staff hit the floor,
the Big Bad beamed,
his white suit gleamed,
surveying the panicked scene
he screamed,

“Give them the business, boys!”

#RAY

It’s a shame about Ray,
sucking sour Lemonheads all day,
his stomach curdled,
mouth opened and gurgled
an acidic yellowy spray.

#ARGENT

A medal of argent
on the chest of a sergeant
caught the eye
of a certain
half-drunken bar gent.

“What’s it for?”
asked the fellow
in a voice tinged with mellow,
“How’d you get it?
Was there killing,
and if so, do you regret it?”

[I’ll post the rest to my website. It went long.]

#EXPERIMENT

I must leave this house,
this laptop and mouse,
be with people again
else be driven insane.

It’s finally time
to rejoin the dance!
This career experiment
must yield to some merriment
but no…
if I go…
who will water my plants?

#CREEP

The bear keeps popping
sunflower seeds
beyond his bulging belly’s needs
while in the air, the drone of bees
lulls him to a nap.
A gentle tap, a desperate slap,
a redness creeps
across the map
as the ursine bleeds.

#HELIACAL

The sun is a harsh mistress,
smothering with her light
until time creates distance,
an escape into the night,
back to who you are,
in your heliacal rising
to become a morning star.

#MARTIAN

He said his name was Martin,
four foot tall
with skin of green
and the biggest, blackest,
oval eyes
that I have ever seen,
a giant head,
there-fingered hands,
and if you see him, holler.
He’s visiting
from somewhere far
so I loaned him my last dollar.

#UNSEEN

Absolutely obscene
how some people go unseen,
and what does it mean
when their every word
goes unheard?

Absolutely absurd!

No matter how visible,
No matter how loud,
they blend into the crowd
when seven million people
all chant the same thing:

“America has no king!”

#ENERGY

Craved energy drink
for a post-bonk think
so I pushed my car
to the energy bar
and ordered shots
to clink, clink, clink!

⚡️ #prime
⚡️ #monster
⚡️ #redbull

With a zap and a jerk,
I felt my nerves perk,
abandoned my car,
jogged home from the bar,
and set myself
to work, work, work!
