Way down in the jungle deep, A vanilla savior swings from vine to vine, confounding badass baboons and silver back gorillas. Frolicking in the heart of darkness. Tarzan crowned lord of the jungle by self appointed absentee landlords. Tanned tenants pay rent for the ground they owned. Counterfeit king of beast beating his chest in triple canopy forests. Rituals white washed with African hands, noble natives send SOS messages to the memory of painted griots and holy men. Piss elegant Englishmen rewrite history with stiff upper lips, taking their afternoon tea on shaded verandas in the middle of the Kenyan savannas, making happy endings for the civilized world. Distant drums pulsate, heartbeats that never die...

Yin Yang (improvisational poem)Walk through an odd human zoo Monstrous emotional maniacs Growl and prowl around post modern cages Demure suburban dilletantes send blase' signals to a wishy washy world Wild versus mild play fight like dancing queens Opposites attract and make babies Yin and yang Swirls and pulsates A galaxy lives in a tea cup Inhale exhale Sweet and sour Juxtaposition Served over fried rice......

Social Distance or Dont stand so close to meDon't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Inside a personal fortress of solitude Basking in the light of smart phones Church for one blessings under breath The distance measured by space times intimacy Needy human beings estranged from touch Flesh tone planets adjust to solitary eclipses Never meeting watching each other from hidden vantage points In careful orbits Alone in a time of virus blowing kisses hugging the wind... ("Don't stand so close to me" a verse taken from the rock group the Police) |
Soul-diers (Soldiers)Soul-diers invade personal space My inner cosmos Inner thoughts Echo deep in the chasm of time Verbs in reverb vibrate bodies Human tuning forks eat salty sound waves Sound off in military cadence Left right left Combat boots stomp in unison Christian soul-diers Dangerous dance partners In a war time waltz spitting razor blades at obscenities yelled from the cheap seats Cannon fodder with government names fertilize recent battlefields Bones turn into blossoms.... |

Basquiat in New YorkNappy genius Dirty virgin eyes seek oil paint absolution Inspiration sleeps on the number 2 train. A muse discovered among discarded human beings euthanized Arranged haphazardly. Wild brush strokes animate American aliens in the primordial colors of Time Square. Taste the flavor of the suns dying light, falling into the East River. Captured on canvas A nappy genius weeps. Jean Michel Basquiat sleeps.... |

Concrete CityPoured concrete form temporary monuments hardened temples to self flagellation whipping boys make stone statues life like but cold..
