Two Watches
5-23-17

At the stone of Abel
A consumer discontinues its fable
I see something better from Ebenezer waking Ashdod
Where there is no such false god for femme fatale irresistible
Luring me into disaster
Curing mariners for our mandarin
For the ark brought to Dagon
In a deeper hue of green
It is a warning of a path not to follow today
Going by two watches
Beguiled in that she smiled
And a stampede friendly
Pithy go fishing
On the outskirts of the city
And reel in your rainbow trout
And never miss the boat...




My Amanita
5-23-17

With a little bit
On my own Pablo Honey
I conclude that it's only money
And he thought for a moment
About the salamander able to live by the flame
Part woman, part bird
Part Son, part Word
Where the Word of God is the root to all knowledge
For polyphonic secular vocal compositions
And the mandrake as clouds brake
Setting off on the road again
As God smites Ashdod with emerods for Amanita
Therefore no one treads upon the threshold
Or our lonesome road....





For Bar-Jona
5-23-17

Taking the ark to Gath
All for the masquerade austere
All for Elymas a prophet, Our Jew, nothing new
Abstinent
Where've you been
Where you going
Having bruised peach come Bar-jesus ascetic
Blessed art thou Simon Peter
All for the parking meter
In our royal Philistine city where all is pretty
Do you remember Dick Tracy as to enamor
Nail and hammer
As to castigate fixedly
Not easily volatized
Where the buzzard circles over Jane
The body of the Plain
And the soul of the valley
Out again I sally....
