Changing

The hot monster lives under
the bed. Twisting and turning
the bed frame. He is as
golden as the sun. As a mad
mood ring. Like blood on top
of a yellow pillow. Like
hot coals one a bed of
ashes. Like water blisters on
top of your skin. I realize
the monster is me, hot
and mean.

The Monster Ball

the softball hit her,
it bounced off and
grew legs and erms.
The soft ball twisted down,
to second base,
I heard it coming down as it rolled.
the monster ball wanted to jump over the fence,
the monster ball smelled like wet dew,
the monster ball tasted like dirt
from the dirty glove of the pitcher.
the monster ball got what it wanted
it got over the short fence, it
crashed through the fence leaving a
small yellow dirty hole.

Bouquet

I wither down to a bouquet of eggs
The eggs rot in the burning hot sun
the eggs have been smashed

The dump comes
there goes the eggs
the sticky yolk…

Time

Next year is a when we can
fly,
Then the year after that is going to
be a fake world with black and white
mushrooms,
Tomorrow is going to have a crowd of
panthers with long tongues,
Today is going to have a bouquet
of flowers with white strands of hair.

No Man’s Land

There
his guard
they
have labored for the truth

perhaps five hundred years
but
all or most
was destroyed. Here
in nature
what remains
is only

threat
we get
Old maps
at one time

How To Make A Merman

first you pour water in the
bathtub.
Then you put salt in the bathtub.
Second put a fish in the water.
After that put gasoline in the water.
And try to light it on fire.
Then you got a merman! Wait this is
the most important step, you lay in
it then you got a merman.
