if i saw it in the masochistic chromes

and the eyes were all a flash in red

then you'd have to take away their homes

forgiving whatever the devils wife said

popularity from within the scales

defying time and mind in short bursts

carried on the shoulders of great water pales

the lightning was dreaded

I recall the way she looked
the Blue Jay in the bath
splashing around on the dance floor
spilling breasts from her bridesmaid dress
eyes beaming at the newlyweds
as they’d pass; she’d cock her head
as she refocused her hunt for a mate
this bloke that whichever strutted her way.

The Ballad of the Vibrating Bandit

We got the call from Joe’s Crab Shack
at eight, ‘bout quarter past
to find the salt and peppered dame
who liked to dine and dash.

We spotted her just two blocks down
napping in monkey grass.
Once revived, she sat up and slurred
“Shit I fell on my ass.”

When asked about her unpaid bill
she claimed she’d forgotten.
She’d get cash if we took her home.
We agreed, “let’s go then.”

She welcomed us inside
and we let her rummage ‘round
until she pulled the dildo out.
We nearly hit the ground.

She lunged and lashed,
so we sadly had to tackle
fifty-six years of monkeyshine
wrestled in a cackle.
Her clear, phallic plastic fell
to the ground with a thud. 
She cursed, spit and hollered all 
with spite and boiling blood.

As we put her in the car that night
she said we’d get lucky
if it were not for one complaint,
the handcuffs were not fuzzy.

An embellishment of a Nov. 2010 arrest account in Gurnee, Illinois.

I'll be the darkness in the brightest hour
And I'll make Hades wait.
Not nameless mass in that space
Nor a faceless name two pages short of the classifieds.
I embrace she who wields the scythe
But my life is by my blade.
For a vagabond heeds no master;
In the like I

I will live regardless

Whether or not you’re here

I breathe in and out subconsciously

So I’ll breathe if you’re gone.

My blood flows hot

When I’m

embraced with your arms,

 

But it will flow afterwards, as well

Thick cold syrup

Sorrow immersed to the depth in you obvious in the last frame

I remember solidly that I could not capture my own-

I contained myself. Catatonic unable to realize your ending

I choke down the regret that

Between frequent blinks fighting
acid sweat I've been examining
the chlorine-pruned mazes
of my would-be fingerprints
the outermost layer logged
in white transparency very
much like my alibi.

She’s been sprawled out inside
for the better part of 4 days
and I’m starting to detect
her jelly innards decaying
releasing
