Al’s exiled
to desert aisles
K’s Halls will Bard no slur
and Nick the Teen
has split the scene
to grind a smokin’ Twerk
See, Margarita’s
beaten feet
–for jeers Maria stays–
with buddy Jauna
those hot chicanas
anglicized their names…

she listened for echo
searching for a vein

all addictions
leave me broken
all except
the noted spoken
eloquence
transcribed by sheaf
a diction suited
for relief,
an “add•ed daily”
via mind–
/ paper /
…pen…
to capture lines
–reflections from a
Looking Glass
not railed in
on night-train crap
and sure Bukowski
worked his rye
but what Chuck worked
would f*ck most guys,
and Internet
don’t get me started!
since logging on,
I can’t depart it!
and thusly is
the silent page
my best obsession
my safest stage.

very famous for his package, sight unseen…
