"Quatorzain for the Little Brown Guy" ~ 2015 11 16

the little brown guy was neither little
nor brown nor even really just some guy
some guy who could fix your leaky faucet
who could teach you how to parallel park
who could post bail when you’re in the drunk tank
who could dispose of the body you killed
some guy you don’t introduce to mother
the little brown guy was not just some guy
some guy who would drive you to the airport
who would loan you 10K without interest
who would smother your mother for your debts
who would cut off your ears to prove a point
some guy your father wouldn’t approve of
the little brown guy was just not this guy

"the rub : imparting music to our ears" ~ 2015 11 23

sugar melts bittersweet in black coffee
lets sorrow lie dormant as sleeping dogs
erratically paw and whimper bad dreams
erotically unsheathe erect puppy
perturbations pulsating tumescent
in full display flanks set wide nothing sags
nothing to hide the cool air fans at drones
gliding as detritus floats through the air

switch off the lights at sunrise the distant
orb blazes magically as if demand
required immediate payment for debts
requisitioned by the state motherwhore
over dark mass the orb forced to amend
wicked solar flares pulsating in wafts
