Computer History
The old time computers were good
Good solid brass and wood things
With cranks and crank shafts
And where it was built
Was where it stayed.
The old Andrew Jackson computers
Made out of tree trunks and berries
Squirrels got all up in it
And that’s what made it work
The squirrels
They get the berries
And it works that way
You put oil in it
Bugs drink the oil
Squirrels drink bugs
Shit eating...

Ken- Version 5 (for Bobcat)
After Paul Revere fucked Ken’s wife backstage
Ken shipped out to ‘Nam
When he got back from the ‘Nam
He was spat on at the airport
Like Rambo
And moved out to the woods.
Chigger bites don’t bother Ken
Because he learned some trick about it in The ‘Nam
In the funny-books they call it “The ‘Nam”
Is why I call it that.
Ken’s woods-girlfriend has a broken leg
And a tattoo that says “Bad Co.”
Like the...

Pancakes
I’ve eaten nothing but pancakes for the last 6 months
Pan-Kits pancakes
I add cinnamon and nutmeg and bananas and sugar
I’ve been stuck in my apartment complex since “it happened” and no one is allowed to leave
The Mexican families have planted an herb garden and now we have fresh cilantro and coriander
Coriander is the root and stalk and Cilantro is the leaves and...

Limes
I’ve eaten nothing but limes for 2 months
I’ve been on a month long sailboat trip
Around and around Lake Phantom
I found out today it was a very slow tornado in control of the keel
Above and below water
The bed in the hull had a hard mattress which, of course became a shameful mimickry of a waterbed
The cooler was packed with kiwi wine-coolers
The stereo, barely audible, was...

Let's Think Together
a horse, a roamer,
what’s wrong with this rumor?
lets think together
about marbles
rolling on a mirror
the morgue is in the opposite direction
The next morning was hell on the shins
crowds of ice cream vendors tinkling electronic tunes out their loudspeakers
high pitched and calling to the kids hiding in the caves
Each hoof on every hyena was engraved with a symbol of a cassette...

John's Child
I will tell my child many things
First, I will tell my child about right and wrong
I will tell my child about “The Law of God”
And the law of man
And lawyers and policemen
And what they did to daddy
Then I will tell my child about God
And how God does not love my child
Because of certain things he or she did
And the things I did while my child was in the womb
And my father and my fathers father...

Time Travel Movie
The newest time-travel movie is a “Braveheart with a 21st century twist” The last time-travel movie was an “H.G. Wells classic reinvented for the screen” The one before was a “’Matrix’ meets ‘Back to the Future’ with a touch of ‘The English Patient’ thrill-ride” The one before that one was “in the vein of ‘Memento’ and ‘There’s Something about Mary’ from the makers of ‘Dumb and Dumber 2’” The...

Suposably Strep
PT I
There’s a seed in the wall and I can see it
See thru the wall
A tiny little thing
I think it’s a Mexican jumping seed
With a wurm in it
The ceiling fan makes it all better
The ceiling fang
Those little plaster bumps on the ceiling for texture
Are seeds
Different than the Mexican ones
Grey ones with plaster shells
The bed by the window has a perfect view
The mountains outside the window are...

Glue Rabbit
Glue rabbit sits by the side of the road
Glue rabbit has a smile made of tums
Assheads punch rabbit in the stomach
and whack rabbit with hobo sticks.
Glue rabbits skin is white glue
so it’s hard and crackly.
Inside for guts is rubber cement glue
So its soft inside
Glue rabbit’s all cracked up
Sits on a pile of pick-up-sticks
Gets whacked with hobo sticks
Eats tums all day
That’s glue...

Kill Cops
beautiful trees swaying gently in the wind on the mountain skyline a large grassy field teaming with children flying kites hollering to one another hollering things like, “c’mon joey, c’mon, run faster with the kite so we can get the kite up in the air…c’mon joey run, run joey, you want the kite up in the air…well, then c’mon, run” most of...

Heavy Drums and Seasonal Allergens
Pt. II
Wheat Fields
Laying down and trying to sleep
In the prickly golden growth
When the cars go by and stop close by
You can remember things
About how yr windows don’t roll up
Yr doors don’ shut
Yr bus route home
Yr tire pressure
And food
Wine and what-not
Out in the country we have a lil bit different way I thank
I thank in the darkness and stars that
The cows nearby maybe can hear what we’ve...

Book Cover Reviews
The Eiger Sanction (first edition hardback) by Trevanian- The cover of this book is one of my personal all time favorites. It’s got that classic late-60’s/early 70’s pulp spy thriller novel design style. It was probably originally a screen print. In the background is a hard-edge mountain rendered in hot pink transposed against an all-white cover. In the foreground is a badass in snow-gear...
