have yourself a merry little cognitive dissonance

him: as if he was pouring
hot cocoa out of his mouth
that's how he spoke
brazen king of his own sandbox
deadly poisons in his pockets
worn out armor of conceit

her: trivial bohemian from the ante-delusion era
copper trash can in a witch’s hat
bleeding in heart
tin heart
thin tin
tinkering: tin-feelings-blood

musically-minded-mindful-full-moon
over her head full of excuses why not
she travels only by hot air balloon
not to put her foot on
the landscape below filled with
cheese and bacon half-eaten by rats

him: flakes of dead skin on her lawn
that’s the extent of his presence
rotten to the bone bearwolf trickandtreat
done and gone

them: always say never
hence and forthwith lethal poetry
legally breaking chains of time
their words are screwdrivers and hammers
unknowingly, they call for a chainsaw from heaven
to break the stern poverty of their thoughts

him: misheard and mishugged
if you can imagine that
disturbed by a somewhat familiar theme
wild strawberries buried in sour cream
the rare always attract more rotten tomatoes
he says he is inspired by them

them: will always have a good time
frenetically genetically unequally human
all capable to have fun make fun run fun
never think of what you have done

SCREAM IF IT HURTS YOU TO PRETEND

her: airy fairy all contrary to their cultural mind clots
she has libraries of eaten words
knitted together otherworldly with Cynical resolve
without hot air she is an empty dress
she dances to her moon nevertheless
as though survival or procreation never ruled her nerves
as though gravity never made her fall
in spite of much flutter
stricken by one missed call
tears in a gutter
weeds grow between her fingers
is that dead or alive?
wanted or caught?

jezebel of jezebels

jezebel of plastic bells she smiles her best reverend smile when she feels like murder toward someone somehow holier than her best self-delusion   //who do you pray to when your mouth is like abyss and your words poison the light of day like smoke? for what good are prayers filled with lies?// jezebel of elastic tales   she proclaims peace and love for all the reverend mothers of thieves and whores all jezebels and delilahs, oh dear interrogating imaginary spirits sisters   //who do you pray to when you open your abyss and your words are a swarm of hungry locusts?// jezebel of plastic sails   she storms her smiley guile-y heaven by offering candy in unrestrained profusion that's how she understands life all the things sweet and nice for the queen of heaven’s paradise   //who do you pray to when your heart has seven heads and ten horns? some sleazy god somebody else believes in? granting authority to your fake eyelashes and your piou...

wrong words

hypnotized by the big screen, wrapped in your cozy fleece you can be so rumpelstiltskin spinning awkward lines into moneymaking grease day and night, in sickness and in health you spin lines that pry open any hidden wallet lines that threaten and guile with a twist and a smile and the poor ignorants' money just pour and you are so proud, so proud, so proud for bringing in the flow to your grateful crowd that you turn your mouth into a radio station for the greedy an everyday hymn to the money oh, wonderful and there is just that unknown, annoying inconveniently undying feeling somewhere deep in your heart but you keep it bound with your perfect grin and there is no dwarf or giant to tell you what it is and all the money you got cannot buy you peace and you no longer own your own mouth there is a hidden war between your heart and mind and there is war all around and you are not blind every up against every down every left against every right every new against ...

iron-y

why burn the bridge? so that no wounded birds could live under it to keep their wounds alive your irony is like sulfur “no” is a burning word takes the iron rod giver to say it right they undo every right and fight for every wrong like that recalled letter of apology drop-dead bird mockingly unsent ungone, unknowing of its power ironic like dried sunflower on a blue chalkboard the art of death reigns in their hearts there is only defiance of dessicated flowers  between acknowledgment of rain  given in the right season and the first hydrating sip of life as it were to be fractions matter, splits of seconds are life ages of stubborn magma buildup can crumble in a blink of an eye, when you see how many grand personas brake down between saying thank you and being grateful always
