"Good Morning, World!"

FUCK

for 25 years

Eye have been stressed —

oppressed, suppressed, repressed —

the snake has no truck

with Me

NOW

Palm Sunday

Eye have The New Christ

pinned to M(eye) wall

She lays with Her Backside

bare to us all —

She fucks our Netflicks

to the content of Her Heart —

She dangles Her Crotch

& lets out a fart

In M(eye) House

Eye am in

The Silver Anniversary

of M(eye) Mother’s Death:

The Shower of Silver  Lights

is 25 Years Old

and now Eye am free

of Its Stigma

and am living

under The Sun

& Moon

ALIEN EYE

Eye have lifted M(eye) Shade

to The Alien Eye

of comfort & quiet

in the dark of morning’s night —

It shines through M(eye) Crack

as a blink of The Light

from out on The Cape

to surrender M(eye) Fight

A Rhyme for the Sake of Rhyming

Eye live in a hutch

of snow and ice

Eye need my crutch —

that would be nice

ERNIE DEXTER, ARTIST

EYE have hung M(eye) X

upon the wall

below M(eye) Painting

bought

of someone’s old house

done in pink —

a Nova Scotia house

out in the bleak

CONTEST

Eye have hung My Portrait

upon the wall

above His Books

Eye would forestall

We’re in a contest

to & fro

& Eye don’t care

where He goes

He thought Eye would write

pretty poems

& paint Him pictures of blue

& white

He was wrong

for Eye have come

to see Him as

My Only Plight

if Eye could dip His Head

in Black

I would fight

for My Self

back

but He has The Bucks

Eye need to live

& so Eye am helpless

to forgive

Lesley’s Birthday

It was in a dream

Eye gave M(eye) Arms

to badly needed rest —

Eye used The Body

of M(eye) X

to make a cross

upon M(eye) Bed

Bob Wilber’s Birthday

Where is My Poison Ring?

The Silver Casing w/ Black

Onyx

My Mother gave Me

When Eye turned 13?

EVOLUTION

Every Spermatozoon is a STAR

Every birth a miracle
