DELIRIUM TAPAS VOL 13

royal family -

turn yourselves OFF

then ON again

might help

or might chew you up like magnetic tape

ha

like throat lozenges

tack up

& dissolve in swallowed rain

~

a weatherman quit

cos the forecast was dreary

killers kill & bankers bank

& of course vice versa

politicians bodysurf in

on polished turd waves

& someone threw ducks

all dead

at the living vegans

~

i dreamt

my gloves have yindles

tinioned back 

from the wrist grip

& 

i hear sirens all the time

heading to those

who need them

TV HASNT SLEPT SINCE 8/10/1997

my tv 
never says 
goodnight 
to me
any more

clicking it OFF mid show - 

  atlanta cops weird newspeak
  wrong aspect richard widmark 
  hitlers eternal adventures

( specifically ;
  how albert speer designed ruins 
  into the reichs new buildings
  so the 1000 year rule
  could decay in scheduled beauty )

-  i feel guilty relief 
like i kicked out a heavy talker
after a night drinking on my sofa
to wait for his cab in the street

and when i stretch out in the repeating dark
i know hes someplace out there somewhere 
bending the cabbies ear
twenty to the dozen

and when i try to
                  fall 
                     safely
into
the
natural nothing
battling the bright white noise of absence 
and the ufo lights in my eyes
i
know 
half the world 
               or 
              more
is still ON out there
making waves and taking names
