Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 81

My poems aren't always
an exact representation
of me they are
sometimes in some
ways less or more
extreme

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 77

Ever since women
started clothing
themselves men
started drawing
them naked
again first

Circular & unanimous the bamboo

Sacred & taciturn of the south deep

Mountain gray mud banking

Blades circular & color miasmal

An homage to the stranger

The pedestal sun

Incessant ruins inconsolable

Men of the region

Dilapidated without purpose

The entire proximity of

Rice a sole stranger

Center burnt tiers of faces

Farthest stars face

Importance of real answers

Universe of the former level

Latter vast times a teacher

Useless dawn an intolerable lucidity

Forest hemlock for the student body

Incoherent as most enigmas

As faceless as an enormous

Afternoon river planetary

Prescribed size of a penumbra

Fourteenth pulmonary whole heart

Examination of the vision principle

Skeleton eyelids & innumerable hairs

Less than an effigy

Perhaps a tiger perhaps a colt

Statue same-dreamed phantom

A dreamers dream of the other ruined temple

Orders had been given

Mysteries and the cult of fire

The pretext of pedagogical necessity

Words & sounds

the mere confusion of happiness

The future south sky

Metal of the night’s rose color

Panic-stricken flight of wild animals

From the ruins of the sanctuary

The concentric fire licking the wall

The water the walls

The sheets of flame

Living is a fog from hell

Living is a fog from hell ,
Page 72, page 58, page 66,
The initials on every page, 100.
DL, TMC, JDP, KC.
Easy, but hard at the same time,
This is everyday, flurried, abundant, cloudy weather
This is a gloomy day full of pages
Unread
Meals uneaten
Coffee still in the pot.

We are not drunk enough yet
To be having this conversation.
Lets get out there on the porch and light up
Like some good 21st century kids
we'll drink you under the table sir,
Yeah I'm talking to you,
We'll out drink YOU,
Kandinsky, Pollock, and DeKooning,
We will drink all the alcohol available on the
Entire island of long
BOB LONG that is
You- sleeping under the kitchen table
While lamps crash against the walls
Cars smashing into each other, ditches, etc.
You- passed out on the couch
That smells like cigarettes
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, etc.
You in the car with the windows rolled up
In the state park after dark
Me still at the party
Me eating a breakfast burrito
Me playing music in my living room
And dancing, all the way back to suffragette city.

All we have is nouns
All we ever had was nouns
Come say that to my face
And I'll take you down
into the basement
And when no one is looking
Kick your ass all over the ping pong table
Don't ever be old, boring, or silly
We real cool here
We real cool over there too.

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 70

It's good man
I say to Alex's
Liberty Spikes
"Aqua Net!"
Ahh, yes

Awesome it
destroyed
the ozone
layer
over
California
in the Eighties.

Anything you want to
believe is true.
"really?" yeah

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 68

How do we
survive?
us crazy
crazy people
surviving in farm
houses and
apartment
walls in the
woods for
all these
thousands
of years?

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 66

It has to
Be a different way
It will take me a
couple of days or
So I can get
you your money back
tomorrow okay

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 64

I should ask the
girl I think would look
hot pregnant if she ------

just like her only
sluttier

Perving Out is Pretty Awesome Sometimes

Topless Angels
Brunettes, blondes, redheads
In Boxer brief cut panties
Pillow fighting in my head

Puffing on a blunt
If she finds out
My stuff is on the curb out front

I am training to run a marathon by drinking beer
& playing ping pong in my basement.

"I'd say youre on the right track."

Why would you say I'm on the right track?

"Beer & ping pong, I think that's the key
to running 26.2 miles.
... Why do you want to run a marathon?"

Just for the hell of it.
To say I ran a marathon.
I don't even care about delivering
a heart attack.

"Spe- Special Delivery!"

He against him
Tell a friend bitch
I've been ill
Plus I've been sick

Twenty three times
Two more and you got my age
That's a Quarter century more than
enough to fill a page
Add a car chase and a steel cage match
roll credits fade screen

There's only one star in this movie and
he rarely stays clean

Yellow teeth lint on my receding hairline
From his dime store vocabulary ladies know
he's too fine

Hamburger pimp keeping greasy hothands
is a burger realy a burger if it ain't have meat man?
DUMB QUESTION

They say it taste great
it keeps the Co-eds slobbering
plus controls weight

I keep the meat wrapped up in their see through black thong strings
add a shake for sex appeal
have me thinking raunchie things
Ladies night buffet
gorge your self lust thrills
stay hungery all day
value menu less then a dollar bill

Collecting Material

When I collect material
I leave loved ones
sanity, blood
scum on the earth.
That's what happens
when you get older
when you get older
and realize you are dying
youre not going to live
to 50,000

If I had a job marking down beautiful girls in a book
I'd have a job forever

Loving a Dog from Hell, Pg 54

For Christmas I was going to give you the rib that man made woman from.
I even went to the basement w/ a flashlight in the middle of the night
to make sure I still had it.
Some friends said, or advised, that it might scare you.
I pulled the rib out of the ground in the middle of the night
along the coast of Albania then flew out over the sea.
I guess it's the thought that counts.
