                where the dears and the buffed halos roam
		where hivedom is served by a drone in a herd
		she the Queen is most haughty all day!

Mondays Suck

mondays suck -

too bad they built a ramp

from fridays to mondays

cuz it sucks pleasure

right out of the week

end.

mondays suck -

when Sunday days

alone

are rainchecks.

mondays suck -

for leafless trees,

and those for whom we leave

behind.

mondays tuesdays

wednesdays too -

all suck darling

spent alone,

and not with you.

New age RAP mantra

To live to love to give,

The only reasons why we live -

Give them all to one who's dear

And you'll find him always near.

Just live for him from day to day,

When he stumbles show the way -

Let him know you're always there,

Shower him with loving care.

If he differs in his thoughts,

TRASH HIS *SS and be unkind -

After all - how does one learn

Unless one's flamed and left to burn?

[NOTE: I learned everything I need to know from the  rec.arts.poetry RAPPERS]

Even Disposition

Flat line,

People Games Play

Miller life
log cabin in the woods -
Dust Bowl.

Self centered

Don't expect me

to put chains

around your heart.

I am not your Keeper.

FREEDOM!

is my war cry!

Vouchsafed

perfectly purloined,

in secret chamber

only, 

	soul sentry.

Left behind

I'm
right behind
you.
	
I was momentarily startled by a sharp pop
you seemed to have abruptly
left
me,
while dancing
cheek-to-cheek.

Flamethrower

A wooden heart
one big mouth -
someone got a match?

Summer Night's Dream

a riverboat,
hot buns - 
and a paddle!

Afternoon Delight

tulips,
bowl of fruit on the table -
a banana!

Real Sheeple

Four Play

bare

The Rose and the Hummingbird

a long stem rose
pull of deep kiss -
two hearts tremble.

Critical Mass

two red-hot lovers
touch -
spontaneous combustion!

Beg life

We drink, 'til distant friends arrive

rise out of range, loom ghostly

recede again.

A thought walks in, asks

and what of life?

"..aging, sea change, choosing"

always choosing

one more Dutch door,

then drifting, drifting 

toward another endless chore.

We walk this lunar beach - beg life

from birth to earth's end,

to learn what good come from this, when

despair will reign the soul to cry

&

we die to love,

we weep for joy -

our worst our best,

we love to death.

Life's a beach

combed clean,

unless you know the time of birth

of a single wave.

Spartan thoughts fuel our bloated bodies

engorged on luxuries,

double helpings of a thin line drawn too fat

reflects mourning - too many mirrored warnings -

and oh God we beg for more

			we beg for more

&

life's a drama

then we die -

beached whales 

done in by our own wailings.

There is no end to beginnings

start line or finish lines,

we're all finished

in the end,

we do not heed Heaven's plea -

save the plankton!

"The brain is a terrible thing to waste"

I hasten to add my two cents

at our usual parlor mental-aerobics

Sunday evening, digesting Pound while

cake was served a la tuffed maid,

skirted the main point, which of course

as anyone could figure by now, was

was he or wasn't he?

Crazy, that is - or merely eccentric

we tee heed in unison.

Figure it was all the pondering -

nonsense! growled father, Nutcase the First,

gesticulating, digit drawing in air

drowning in another downing of cognac -

we drew breaths of agitation, then renewed

relentless endless debate, head to head

"he was crazy" behind Mother

"was NOT!" alone stood father, High Priest 

of Art, expounding in countless ways

idiosyncrasies of the Misunderstood -

clearly demonstrating that fine line.

Number of discourses on Pound I've lost count,

what's more, five women against Father, hardly fair,

we are no closer to did he or didn't he

(it's been a real trial for us all), no!

we are nearer St. Elizabeth's than truth

and poor Muse!  fled, screaming, tearing its hair!

Kepko

without as much as a ku,
freed, your spirit flew -
rest in peace, mike, we love you!
