4 Poems
imprisoned
by love
tortured
destroyed
she was Turkish
incredibly beautiful
but angry
she left me with
an empty craving
her name was Ümit
I knew her as Sara and
now she is gone
I'll miss the pain.
.
There was a strange
woman at the diner
she kept asking
for sweet butter
and preserves
they gave her
butter and jelly
she wouldn't shut up
finally the cook said
"please be quiet"
and the strange woman
walked out into a
world that was
even stranger
than she was.
.
I like to sit in
Joe Jr. and watch
the burgers fry
sometimes I eat
sometimes not
I used to be fat
the burgers fry
I eat a salad.
Joe Jr.

give me the blood of Rudyard Kipling
I'm tripping on acid and my penis
is flaccid placid smiles adorn faces
in places I've never seen jelly beans
and ale for sale a Tale of Two Cities
is pretty dull Kull the Conqueror
fights battles cattle are steer beer
and wine are fine drink liquor and kick
her in the butt King Tut's a mummy
dummy strum the banjo and go to
heaven 7-11 is a store for morons and
whores or drugs like heroin there's a sparrow
in the sky black tie affairs are there
to bother Tina Yothers was in Ties my eyes
have seen a vision indecision is awkward
I heard a cute flute and a lute strumming
now I'm bumming from not eating and
repeating my mistakes cake's not pie I
don't believe in god my rod quivers
dominoes delivers giver her a break and
take her out there is no doubt she'll
find me charming isn't that alarming?
