Assassination

Bearded men
sit in parked cars and stare into the distance

Bearded men
walk ahead of the wife and squawking kids

Bearded men
don't have time for this type of nonsense

Bearded men
die in increasingly hairy and manly ways 

D-U-M-B everyone's accusing me

The old grey mare ain't what he used to be
    hamster wheel, scrambled
    eggs, anchor, soup.

His brain is a smoothie now
    tapioca pudding at this point
    vocal stim.

He's Flanderizing, keeps
repeating it like
it's a profound revelation.

He's on a looper
coping by trying to normalize
his stupidity.

His skull only houses rancid
ground meat
and broken light bulbs.

Big League Chew
    like a third-rate cruise ship comic
    brain worms, mashed potatoes.

His wig continues to morph.
    He feels the need
    to explain the 'joke'.

Summer eventually

There was a question about a poem
I'd never read before
which kept using the word
gentian, a word I'd never
heard but which had to be some
flower

My mind wasn't really
fully focused

Again and again with this
gentian; it quite began to grate
       but I couldn't let this affect
       my confused and sloppy answer

       Was gentian even with a hard
       or soft gee - gestapo or gentle

       Searching for the symbolism
       with burnt out torch light

If I hurried I could turn over
the paper walk to the bar and 
     be first in line for 
     the pint and pizza deal

                  What days
         not of blue darkness and despair

     Although there were some times
we fell down the stairs

Diminutive spirits

Warming up...
ask me for favors
asking for treats in the
(not) afterlife; here & now

Don't say Guten Tag (spooks em +
not actually German) plus
small gnomes are a tautology unto themself
Teeny kleiny Zwerge, Zwerginnen

Enter the Information Center
and ask the staff for the chest

I'm eligible but sturgligning
to list 31 sexual flavors, but

I remain in full Atlantic control, and
they've all had their shingles jab
ahead of the End Days Orgie

Q. for Mr Psychological Memory Man
aka old Billy Bottle
Who are the slut gnomes of false Berlin?
proscenium arch crumbles
the Information Center cannot hold

Cheaply constructed post-war architecture
dirty promiscuous leprechaunicals
bizarre little creatures to a men and women
Zwerge, Zwerginnen I think
it's over now, I hope it's
just beginning

And you
my pretty little elf
remain in full control
of the board

Shout out to rare body oils

"Please forgive me for stressing you with my predicaments

I am Mrs. Elizabeth Edward, 63 years,
from USA, and I am suffering from a long time cancer
and from all indication my condition is really bad
and deteriorating
as my doctors have confirmed and courageously

Advised me that I may not live beyond two months
from now for the reason that my tumor
has reached a critical stage which
has defiled all forms of medical treatment

As a matter of fact, registered nurse by profession
while my husband was dealing on Gold Dust and Gold Bars
till his sudden death, then I took over his business till date.

In fact, at this moment I and my late husband
have a deposit sum of ($5.000.000.00 US)
five million dollars with one of the leading bank.

But unfortunately
I cannot visit the bank
since I’m critically sick
and powerless
to do anything myself but my bank account officer advised me
to assign any of my trustworthy relative,
friends or partner with authorization letter
to stand as the recipient of i and my late husband
funds but sorrowfully I don’t have any reliable relative
and no child.

I want you to know there are no risk involved,
it is 100% hitch free & safe. If you will be interesting
to assist in getting this fund into your account
for charity project to fulfill my promise
before anything happens to me, please
let me know immediately. Therefore,
I want you to receive the money and take 50%
to take care of yourself and family while 50%
should be use basically on humanitarian purposes
mostly to orphanages home

Motherless babies home, less privileged
and disable citizens and widows around the world

And as soon as I receive your respond
I shall send you the full details with my pictures,
banking records and with full contacts of
my banking institution to communicate them on the transaction.

You can only get me through by my private email
As i wait for your urgent reply

Hope to hear from you soon
Best Regards
Mrs. Elizabeth Edward"
