Big Gig
Belting out with all her being
Balalaikas harps agreeing
It’s a BLAST with CGI
It’s a spicy Warr Shu Gai
Got four encores in the bag
Got a MAGIC CARPET shag
Big Gig (detail from n.e.s. #187 of 480)

Wilhelmina wailed then wept. “I miss my Chuck,” she sighed
Ifs & thens had pierced his wherewithal like assegai
Nether Regionals he’d entered, triumphed, won, and then
Nightfall, downfall, fall from grace beyond all human ken
Ah, how swift and with a whisker passeth foofara
Human humid hayride hell & then a humbug’d bah
trio for weird word lovers
ectrodactyly
if you have ectrodactyly
your hands are all forked up
bur climbing trees will be a breeze
and handling a handleless cup.

scutellum
small shields enplate the taloned bird
and end when feathers begin
and armadillos? o my word
please do not think it much absurd
to say they have no sin.

emu
an em’s a space in linotype,
and mu’s a grecian letter.
let’s fuse them as a metaphor
for the chi-miracle that has occurred
with the creation of a bird.
salade aux fines herbes
salade aux fines herbes
my cohabitant chops a carrot, one of three.
“do you want any help?”
“i don’t think so…
“it’s taking a long time.”
“no rush.”
..
the making of a salad is a salad in itself, with
the exotic ingredients of music selection,
arrangements of foodstuffs, raising of blinds,
reminiscences and sighs.
health is in the air,
health of direction,
of attention and presence, of
dressing and undressing and dressing again
and the soothing flow of rinsewater.
ab
Free Photo Library .
ab
a square plus b square equals c square
for all right triangles with a and b
being the two adjacent sides joined at 90°
and c as the hypotenuse.
a bit of thought tells us that a and b
make a nifty half a rectangle
the whole of which is of area a times b
and the half of which is of area (ab)/2.
so ab is twice the area of a right triangle.
it is also the bookends of ahab
and also the muscle abdominal
and the rhyme scheme of the first two lines
of a shakespearean sonnet.
and when we move on (and plenty of us want to)
the place where we wereay be marked

cahooters
the towers fell in 2001
and a clueless tonedeaf
monopoly player said hey
my tower is now the tallest
and he was later to become a
cahooter of a man called bonesaw
and cahooter of the genocidal net&yahoo
and cahooter and releaser of fraudsters and rioters
..
he will not be let to unleash his lies at the site
nor will the felonious former mayor
who seemed so swiftly heroic
twenty-five bloody
years ago
Details, details
I’ve been working on a larger-scale drawing for a couple of weeks now.
It is ambitious and sloppy at this stage. When I draw quickly it is more improv then plan, but the several acrostics do impose a sequence and a structure.
I am enjoying the different compositions that occur when I crop off details and photoedit them. They seem to evoke unsolved mysteries.
Even when the drawing is finished, the mystery of what is beyond the border will remain. That’s Life, my friends.
dysingestion
the hunger problem is sickening, especially here, with
a view in this mall of a fat man eating a dunkdonut
covered with chocolate
and filled with “kreme,”
with cookies and cinnamon rolls
and pretzels and movie snacks
and soft-serve ice cream and ghirardelia and pockpucky
all visible from a single vantage point
while on your phone cate blanchett
mandy Patinkin and his wife
and any number of other wellfed celebrities urge
giving to the hungry and oppressed–my god,
they mean well
and they meant well fifty years ago too
but it is just like the pills we well-meaningly take
that make our numbers better
but treat only symptoms.
please, whatever demigods may be,
stop solving the sub-problems,
and SOLVE. THE. PROBLEMS.
in the name of mother Earth i pray.
amen.

a heckler hit me with a three-inch pickle.

I sing the bawdy eclectic
fandangooey and mystic
applying a styptic
along the ecliptic
unhoping encounters be fistic.
