Snip # What Is It Now? ?
write when you get work
work when you get right
dualities seem to haunt me
like equestrian pulls
black and white
leading me into the dangers of gray

The Trinity
i've had love
i've had responsibility
i've had money
i respect the money more
too little
too much
never right
people will take care
of the money for you
pay you for the duty even
the others
you are on your own pal
in a very volatile market
the waves look uniform
like fins maybe
i wonder what's for lunch

Dizzy Poem
and i feel this yearning
and fear
fear of the yearning
yeanring for the fear
all the painters
and visionaries
plugged up in morgateges
and jonesing
we all need shelter
although it's limited
becoming more and more
tooth and nail
dog eat dog
as we get baser
mine is to observe
and record
live it out
i will look
and type
and starve and yearn and fear

Ash Wendsday
he liked me
he was gonna show me how to catch a football
he was an expert
after all he had that vikings practice jersey
we threw the ball around a bit
i think i was getting the hang of it
his mom came out
said come in danny get ready
we have to go to church
he said i'm ready
she demanded he change his shirt
he said but why mom, it's holey
she beat the shit out of him

Blame It On The Arabs
summer vacation!
i witness a wisp
of the american dream
he flung his youngest over the balcony
of the 15th floor of the high rise hotel
then he flung his oldest over
as she entered the room
he jumped
her next husband
will never hear
her bitching
about his driving
disney thrives
is this really america?
land of the free
is this really america?
home of the brave
all the ghosts have brain damage

Introduction Of Rat To Koo
rat meets koo
on a autumn friday night
in a hot car
through roland
roland swiped the car
burning to present the deed to koo
koo isn't unimpressed
but her eyes are filled with rat's odd existance
he wants to make time on her pony faced friend
who is 15 and already dates a convict named charlie
roland wants to be a lawyer
he talks bill murray gonzo
and waxes all poetic like
on anarchy, uncivil obedience and of course under age car theft
secretly he just wants to get arrested
so he can study the system from the inside
koo just wants out
into the world
she discovers her way
in a parking lot on the west side

Shadow Boxing
the war on drugs
the war for correctness
the war on terror
fought with the weapons of
drugs
terror
blatant inhumanity
it's a war alright
a war against freedom
fought from the inside
against itself
a cancer
that can only be cured
with civil action
while we still have the option
this country runs on business
we have no time for the considerations
of the individual
what are you going to do about it
myself

Construction Plans Should Always Take Into Account Security Breaches
we would walk casually
across the golf course
just enjoying a stroll
through the autumn night
across and into
the culvert
eyes level with the street
spy the cylindrical prize
on it's grail like perch
wait undetected
until the maverick would pass
if the trunk was open
we would cross the road
hustle up to the temp dock
roll a blue tank unsecured
silently

Shot Down
she did my spanish homework freshman year
in high school
so i didnt mind her sitting next to me
during my quiet time
sitting in the goldmine
and she says
it occurs to me that
maybe you aren't warming up to me
because i haven't been honest with you
i'm not warming up to you simply because
i'm not warming up to you
well maybe you sense something
suspicious
my you have a high opinion of yourself
thinking you have invented
a new form of deception
