This is absolutely
spectacular heroin, says the
motherly roadie for the Rolling Stones.
So what if we live in a plutocracy?
All you really need is one good moment!
Think about your all-access pass!
Think about Michael Jackson embalmed in rose oil!
Smile for the camera!
Smile for the camera!
Smile for the camera!

So I smiled for the camera.
Then the hammer came down.

Hope and Change, from Obama to OWS

Why is the left-wing such a bunch of suckers?

"We are the ones!"

"We are the 99%!"

Pretty slogans, vague hopes and dreams...

And meanwhile the right-wing is busy with re-districting and re-writing regulations and all the other business that makes all the difference between real change and bullshit.

Sunrise

Sometimes I'm a wristwatch.
Sometimes I'm a bone.

Sunrise is my witness.

I was born in Jericho.
My mother was a camel.
Later she emigrated to
Amsterdam and I became her informercial.
All five of my fathers are still paying alimony!
This is why I believe in Creationism.

Sunrise is my witness.

Monthly Unemployment Non-Story

Last week the Bureau of Labor Statistics labored and brought forth its monthly unemployment data, with the usual muddle of many-ways defined and undefined employment and unemployment, but the percentage of able-bodied working-age Americans who have a job remained essentially unchanged from where it hit the bottom in December 2009, and that's the non-story of US employment and unemployment in April, 2012, and every other month in 2010 and 2011 and 2012.

Memoir

The story of my girlhood is written in cologne.
I own every goblin in Borneo!

Mithridates of Pontus is my maternal uncle.
Did you drool on my clone?
Did you nibble the braille off my billboard?

I once bought a blood-wig on Ebay!
My anemia emanates from the Big Bang.
I am born again in a beachfront bordello!
Lichens agonize in the foam.

Langweilige Puppen

Boring dolls on the beach at Southampton,
phantoms on the autobahn...

You have your Mercedes.
I have my smut.
You have your pharaoh.
I have my snout.
Did you miss the punchline?
Did you miss the putt?
Can you hear the archaic harmony?

Far out at sea
a shrimp cringes.

Proposal

I'm a retired assassin with a
sassy way of saying "Mammy"
and many lesser manias.

I eat blancmange.
I'm an average American.

Only I can describe your
multiple vaginae.

Navel of my emails!
Neap-tide of my veal!

I will love you for umpteen lifetimes.

Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?

Fourth of July

Are you idle or menial?
There's no in-between!

Is that the sky
or an outdoor planetarium?
Is this laundromat spinning?

Do you believe in magic?

I believe in everything!
but when you're senile,
it gets a lot harder to count the demons.
