Songs 12 to 17

I'm planning to make these into painted poem tubes, post photos on flickr. The poem tubes have never been for sale. I've given a lot to friends. I'd consider bartering them for chapbooks, print magazines or what have you.

Song  12

 

debt

talks stall

call off strike

set to become

risk on, back on?

hairiness out there

looking a little bit

ugly one a piece

on his beloved

clay to define

the situation

super extreme hold

capacity to

your member

pack

 

 

 

 

Song  13

 

great minds

shrink

aloft

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Song  14

 

rule book throws

you out fold

into the bed oh

damn sprigs in

cement contours

lace up booties

drive through coffee

 

Song 15

 

back to the front

carve off a lump

of high voltage

interviews keep

fish off the net

of their poker lives

such a greasy night

was simply electric

 

 

 

 

 

Song  14

A family

 

they’re all dead

& gone left me

behind to

pick up

the pieces

 

 

Song  15

 

in the ad court

logos on shirts

on seats on shoes

tattooed on

arms knees

once upon a

time hall of

“amateur” fame

serve and volley

ruled chase

citizen Olympus

Nietzsche on his

arm hamstring

problem elimination

 

 

 

 

Song  15

 

there you go

cutting corners

 

break to stay

alive a stunning

experience no up

glitterati & death

 

a twisted angel grin

a line of doves on

the roof-ridge down

to three

                interested in

what comes

next to what

who knows

that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Song  16

 

not so much

doing as

done for

 

we are

 

who are

the barbarians

 

about to go

epic about

to go epic

 

an arm on a sill

does not look

inspired

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Song  17

 

a snack wrap

slum-dwellers

you’re lovely

for a moment

banks leading the

way higher to

increase their

steak days

when we bounce
