Time is a crime Where every clock Will climb To some top rock And ring In a cadence Pretend to sing Reality so dense Only a human Can hear But the greater plan Will tear The watch Off the wrist Of Sasquatch And insist That time Is an artifact Fosterer of crime A human fact Which holds veracity Among those Accepting tragedy When eternal doors close Information is rife And timeless Known cause of life Found in each caress
The Saddest Part of Verse
The saddest part of verse Reliance on language Forces poets terse A need to temporarily engage With timing A phony beat Against living Ultimate timeless retreat But so much information A bard must squash Via muted intonation As compacted temporal trash Random information Sweetens linguistically Verbal versification Of polyglot humanity
A Pachyderm
A pachyderm
Glances around
Willing to squirm
Sans sound
No ivory
Nor tubular snout
But auditory
To all about
With eyes
In a strange place
It tries
To replace
Sound
With hue
And resound
Forgetful too
During a Sweep
Should a wolf
Or an eagle
Need nasal relief
Respitorially inequal
For one
There’s a beak
Just for fun
The other might speak
Nasally
But sniffing
Usually
Unlike high piping
During a sweep
There’s the smell
Over a heap
Both know so well
So the nose
And the eye
Neither oppose
Light, odor from the sky
You Were the Cure
You were the cure But abandoned Me pure So I secured A lure Out fished The manure Which piled On your floor My mind though Strolled About the goo Which piled To all who Were beguiled Through and through And got infected I still love you
The Kashanka
The kashanka Is a noisy place Will make ya Hide your face Yet it’s started Well over there The departed Were well aware Fostered a noise No more a taste Which with you cloys Not in haste So carnivores Mix smell and sound Hiding savage sores Let kishkes resound
Silence was welcome
Silence was welcome In a performance To enlighten some Put into a trance But it was a trap Unable to pray Clippedy clap Afraid to say Let me outta here It slid deeper At maximum fear Scarier, creeper But it did stop Neck too deep With a final plop What the bleep?
Chicken Leg in Toilet
Chicken leg in toilet And flush valve Wasn't set To evolve It was too high But so serene Who’d try In floors between To judge the kitchen As a place Where they’d be stitchin It's a race Not to solve But let’s Absolve With no regrets ]
Hymns Mock Silence with Sound
Hymns mock Silence with sound Pursuing a clock Into the ground Time enlivened For no reason But contrived To carry on A grand echoed sound For death debuts Above the ground Beyond eternal views Yet music Accepts any position Maybe aesthetic Or perdition
Sardines Means Schemes
Sardines means schemes Swimming in congregations Are they extremes Of annihilations Does any one sardine Reach the limit of life With no room between Everyone and his wife Yes they reproduce But do they as one reach Beyond the loose Sands of a natal beach Maybe fed Like they feed On something dead To human need It's a disgrace To regard subway commuters As a way to replace These tinned fishy suitors Travelers refers and defers To a species Which prefers The aroma of feces
