Oh
Bloody Hell!!!
Elephant testicles
huge bloody things
hang from my rear vision mirror
like grotesque fluffy dice:
ever seen any?
Rhino
Horns protrude
dinosaur like from a rusty boot,
catching unsuspecting pedestrians
as I bowl them over:
yeah
- narcissist.
Someone once commented
(with screwed up disbelief on face)
on the Leopard-skin soft top:
I
just brandished my 12 inch hunting blade.
Kick my mag wheels if you dare,
Turtle shell is flippin' hard.
Yeah,
ok
so the Polar Bearskin seat covers
still coated in blood
are a bit over the top:
feels good though.
How
dare you call me a rapist?
Nature is there to be ruthlessly corrupted,
just be thankful I seem to be
the only
over-the-top officianado.
God in a mirror
Countermand
your own preposition,
with a diatribal infliction
of universal acceptance.
Drink coffee upside down, tastes sanguine.
Jersey
City glows in evening appeal,
sunrise washes tangerine sauces
on grey drab-washed monstrosities,
a dog eats a purple
Chico wrapper
because the sea is close by.
Audrey Hepburn, who was she really?
Gain's Library on the corner
of 1st and Main
shares billing rights with Frank's Fuckorama,
some turn pages
others turn tricks,
both fulfill
a transient need.
I saw God in the mirror and I smiled back.
The Creation of Glass and Hot Blue Jeans in a Freezer
Several times she whispered.....
"Take me down the highway
on your revved up chopper dude,
let me grab
your balls and hold on
for dear life as tarmac flashes by."
I looked through dusty glass,
saw the sun refract
in prism light,
a rainbow of possibilities gleam,
She moaned with pure animal grunt,
as I pounded the meat on
the board
fresh hamburger for dinner cooked
delicately on overheated exhaust pipes.
Charlie rummaged in the refridgerator,
found
a pair of Levi's cooling off
in the remains of the butter conditioner,
"You a scientist dude,
keep ya genes in
the fridge?"
She smiled at that, donned the cold denim,
mounted my blow up Harold Man,
Heard a release of air,
and she gasped,
soon the butter melted and I spread her.
The Glass echoes sundown,
bright yellows and browns
eroding
to oranges and purples,
We cruise Los Hacienda Grove,
looking for smoke joints
and joints of beef to blow,
nothing
seems on offer tonight.
Then the demons in her denims
roar into life, sucks the world in,
I see it pass by
through a midnight vista,
looking out through broken glass
and the darkness of creativity.
My name is earnest,
hers
chance
we float in Nirvana
with dead singers for friends.
The Death of Danny Cosgrove - Millionaire
Poor
bastard he was,
filthy fucken rich
and not a penny to his name.
Young Danny minded his P's and Q's,
sold real
estate and made a killing,
rode around in a flash Ferrari
for flippin' years, until
she was a blonde, they all
are,
opened her legs and swallowed
the life he once lead,
spat him out after ten years
nary a drop left,
but he'd gained
still drove that Red Horse
and plied his trade,
got older on Greenbacks and White Wine
never
again a woman for his greed
to lose itself on, not even a quickie
Saturday night down Gropers Lane.
The papers
said he jumped
though his ten story office window suggests "pushed",
his life ran like his money,
down the drain
and under the metropolis,
to the waiting catacombs of die hard misers.
His former love barely raised an eyebrow.
Adolf Hitler wore Silk Boxers
Gratuitous babblings
oft lead to mind slips
daisies fuck dandelions
lavender breath dips
marionettes
spark sexual death
venus de milo favours chips
see seven skeletons dancing tango
rattling like ghost ships
and
in the dark, a penis enters a vagina
and another heart skips
Leaves a sour taste in ones mouth
Lemon
Commonly
picked from the political tree,
a President who fucken lies
and cheats his way
into a position of power,
fucks
the whole world over.
Sherbet
Who's worse,
the
pricks that chop heads
off American prisoners,
or the demented fuckers
who download the video
to see what it's
really like out there?
Unripe Gooseberry
Muslim

Vinegar
Old Arab Tale
better the dog pisses in your mouth
than the cat shits
in your ear-
applies equally to all races.
See how Bush licks his lips
and Hussein picks his ear.
Doggie
Barks,
Bites passing postmen,
Takes a hunk of meat
in practice,
Eats cats for fun,
Neighbourhood nuisance,
Hate the fucker.

The untold story of Samson's left testicle.
Rumour has it,
in the dark halls of ancient grecian
philosophers,
there was always more
to the Samson and Delilah fable,
that not only did his curly locks
get vandalised
by that wicked woman.
(Some say they've been wicked since)
Seems Samson was
carrying out
one of his famed feats of faith,
lifting humungous boulders above his shoulders,
firing them at mythic
gorgons and asps,
Ooops!!
Toga slippage.....
and a ginormous purple stone
pops out,
nearly flays the emporer off his throne.
Heinous act, death by scrotal sacrifice,
an endeavour nary
once recorded,
yet here be Samson laying a loose stone
into the panicking crowd
(though some saw Delilahs reason d'etre
for joy).
The poor chap, nonplussed,
tucks it back into the loose fitting toga,
takes up another
stone, and drops it on his foot,
sending a mad panic up his leg,
past the recent embarrassment,
to a brain spazzing
out with it all.
He clapped his head in excruciating pain,
threw a loud yelp into the ampitheatre
realising
his hair had also been dealt with.
Seems it wasn't his day after all.
Anyway, now if someone tells you about
Samson
and Delilah,
ask them about his left testicle,
and if they know the story.
You do now.
Le Cracking Cranium of Cranston
Poor bugger,
got whacked with tubular steel,
across the frontal
lobes
adjacent an honorary temple or two.
"Best case of splitting headache this week" said the surgeon.
The
surgeon was on ecstacy,
or was that meant to be ecstatic
about doing such a fine and needy job.
Cranston tossed
up about the hospital,
or his brothers metal extraction plant
down Paraparaumu way, next to Georgie Pie.
Could do with a Steak, Pepper and Mushroom
pie right now.
Cranston's
mum showed up.
That was about it for her, she does that you see,
makes an appearance for appearances sake,
wearing
that funny hat, the furry runaway from Chuckwagon,
Cranston admired that hat now,
could make a good cover for a
soon to be very big bandage,
Russians wear them too, could be they hide swathes of cotton.
Too much damn vodka.
Not Cranston though,
wrong place at the right time, wrong guy, too.
Cranston's like that, be standing in a loo flushing,
and he'd be the only one for fifty years
to get hit with blow-back from the shit farm.
Maybe we should pin a
medal on Cranston?
Oh yeah, someone already did.
Tarantino meets Kubrick over Los Plata
Strange title for a soiree,
a little walk down memory lane,
two tuxedoed
gentleman
waltz gaily by, a glass of chateau 69
spills liquid vapour to a blank canvas.
Lick the ice cream stick,
chocolate
melts and runs languidly
across your fingertip to a gaping maw,
seeds of half grown grapes languish
in a spittoon at
DryGulch.
The rust on the Chevy's window
signals moonlight on a wayside in New Mexico,
the rains have been absent
for months now,
scorpions run for shelter, the onset of
another F14, on another bombing mission.
Drags you back
to lifes passion play,
the thoughts of bombs going off,
a scorpian stinging your vagina, hot lust,
runny chocolate
and spilt wine erotica,
yet the thought of that moonlight lingers.
You lie there, awake, aware, awry,
tears stream
like the river Ganges
in a monsoon deluge, the dead for all to see,
carry out funeral rites near your pinz nez,
seems
the right thing to do in relationships.
A Sunny Fun Day in the Morgue
Let me introduce myself,
Swashbuckler
Jim,
I work the local morgue
doing all sorts of things,
and I suffer whims
of sanity slips
and take all my
customers
on mindless trips.
Look at the wall,
crypts four by four,
four at the top, four down
and four
on the floor, vrooom
Stainless steel abounds
gleams everywhere
polished by yours truly
with devil may care glee.
What
games can be played
when there's jackshit to do,
open the doors and tickle
toes and feet a deep blue,
pull out
the trays and play
spot the balls
watch out for the maimed ones
or you'll puke on the walls,
everywhere!
Do
some statistics
young, old or ancient,
check out their gender
and their hairy status perchance,
Draw out the trays,
and
check their pallour,
and marvel at how the dead
have differing pallid colours.
Close up the hatches
get out
the chalk,
and play noughts and crosses
ere the dead walk,
and take satisfaction
they don't see your antics,
and
the morbid things you do
that would turn the romantics.
You see them so different
than everyone else,
you
see the chrome boxes
and not their old house.
You have no attachment to
those passing within,
you don't see your
excursions
as a heavenly sin.
To work with the deceased
you have to be detached
you need to be distant
nothing
is a match, perse
But they are your charges
whilst within the mortuary,
and they get treated the way
you want,
keeping some sanity.
Bring in your dead,
they're
mine to keep,
what harm is done
whilst they slumber in their sleep?
What harm is done,
if I prod and poke,
if
I tell them the odd grim story
and perverse damned joke.
A Flame amongst the cold ashes of life
Imogene sweats profusely,
teetering
on the parapet
of life and indecision,
to jump, cut, or down
the whole bottle of valium,
she no longer gave a
damn,
her eighteenth would be her last,
'Thank God,' she thought.
She slipped then, back
into memory land,
the hated obtrusive killing pain,
that started when she could remember
and never ceased, intensified
when
her mum left them with him,
she, the only girl in a ramshackle family,
expected to be mother, sister, daughter
and
sometimes maybe, wife too.
She found the accidental
cut of the knife at ten
when cooking another sparse meal,
eased her pain, numbed the skeletons in her mind,
all her
thoughts became nothing for a time,
and blood spilt nurtured her future,
oh, she was good, could hide the cuts,
upper
arm, shoulder blades, buttocks, thighs,
all giving her release before she learnt
that she could die,
Heck, what
a revelation!
And she stood there looking
down at her decision,
people moving on the sidewalk, cars flying by,
droplets of blood seeping from fresh wounds on
her
wrists and across her pale tearless cheeks,
the pills sat heavy in her stomach, dissolving
and unraveling her
life strands,
head swam with nothing nice, it knew not, ever,
then in a blinding flash of reality, she went.
A light blazed suddenly
through the darkness,
demanding her attention, calling out to her
and in her strange fixated awareness, she saw God,
Her
subconscious fought against the reality
and the fight spread into her waking mind
She opened her eyes, trying to get
rid of it,
but it was still there, bright halogen downlight
in a stark white and blue room, starched sheets.
She'd killed herself thrice,
yet she still lived,
her hopelessness engulfed her like a rash,
Tears tried to escape where none were left,
dried
pain dribbled down her cheek,
touched the scars of her existence, telling her
she was alive, and she groaned.
Until
he came to her side, and smiled at her,
saying, "Imogene, I am going to make you happy."
She asked him, 'when, and how',
never why,
so she did live, with a measure of hope.
Collective thoughts
on Birth
Damn, it wasn't my fault!!
Was
it? How could it be?
She caught MY eye.
If I'd kept the placenta,
would it have grown to be
a troublesome
teenager?
She sheds 30 hours of sweat,
how come us males
come out smelling like roses?
As usual, she calls
me names,
Bastard, arsehole, cretin,
yet in the sack, it's "oh Yes,
Baby, Sweetums!" Yeah, women.
Why is it
the doctor is allowed
to smack your kids backside,
and doesn't get arrested for child abuse?
Manhunt Predation
I sat in my easy recliner,
overlooking
the vast pool
of glistening blue water and heads
scanned for sign, for prey.
There he was, target one for the
day
barrel chest, hairy, muscled
chiselled to a taut taper,
got my juices running, this one.
He walked heavily,
pools edge
looking into vacant happy eyes
and settled on a bottle blonde
with tits the size of melons.
The
juices retracted as my thoughts passed
onto new dimensions and men
fat and bald, skinny and runtish
nothing took
my fancy.
But I desired man meat,
needed to consume hot sweat
and rippling muscles deep into
my starving conscience.
But prey was in short supply,
packed
my things and went to the bar
and mind fucked the bartender
into submission for my failure.
Death in a Daiquiri Order
Hazel called for a Daiquiri,
cooling on a hot summers day,
waited with nonchalant aplomb
for the drinks waiter to arrive
and deal her her wish.
Which, by the way, didn't
come
so she called him over again
a moment later and castigated
the poor oafish fool.
She was bent on a drink,
no idiot was going to stop
her
desire to slake her thirst
so she let rip with both barrels.
Murder filled the air, she
was unstable,
dogs barked, smoke cleared
and a drinks waiter bled
all over the pristine marble.
Hazel moved her seat, but
she was
grabbed by strong hands and
taken
to a police station and arrested,
for being not drunk in charge.
And the small matter of a
waiters death,
his last breath "fuck you,
bitch"
didn't matter to her rich
lifestyle,
but this time she didn't get
her way.
A rap sheet stated death by
adventure
and a stretch on death row
before
the pin was pulled and her
life passed,
all for the sake of impatience.
A lifestyle wrought with "I
Want"
leads to an ending of "You
Get"
and she passed away into folklore
as the woman that couldn't
wait too long for a drink.
Bar Room Salsa
I stood in the foyer,
furnace
blast from the dancefloor
hits me in the face
cool blast of winter on my back
through the opening/closing portal.
Moved
into the inferno
of sweating pumping bodies
limboing to the rhythm of a calypso band
sweat the order of the day,
and half naked bodies.
I was assailed by it,
but worse was the gyrating nymphettes
prancing around, tanned
and soaked
raising my internal core temperature
to an unsafe level.
It was hot, they were hot, I was hot
to
trot to a brand new sensation
so I joined the conga trail, hands
placed frimly on some shapely
swaying hips of passion.
And
I boiled, popped my cork
as the heat rose above searing,
I danced and gyrated the night long,
and left with an ice
cool, sweating machine
to dance the night away at home

The toilet seat
is wet like a bus ticket
Pontificate, you slimy slag,
Oscar
Wilde-plagiarist on the sly,
your gay abandon will trouble you
as police arrest hags and fags, for their bags,
ladies
and laddies run far and wide,
a wet toilet seat is not a bride.
A poet times his words and prints off
screes
of latent literature,
months of work, a knock at the door,
a laddie with a bus ticket roars inside
and hides, "they're
after me, for sucking"
the printer clankers away and scores
every page with a number, as the boy whored.
"Cell
numbers three, nine and ten,
the husky desk sargeant processes
the bitches and the queers, the dross
makes for his
coffee, stamps another bus ticket,
another climbs aboard for the ride,
gay abandon put aside in fear,
and the rest
of them shut up and disappear.
Poet in a corner, reads Eliot and wonders
if a boy is afraid, and calls him out,
"stop
sucking mens diddles, it'll get you
in the end, and behind and wherever, so stop it",
and be of the pen, and the sword
and write
your passion to the paper of your desire.
He looks at the many pictures of his wives
and husbands;
wonders to himself,
why poet, why writer of feelings, emotions?
the pictures spoke back for him, relationships
born
of love and lost from fear, that's where
it all went, and he bent on his task, and printed.
Printed wet bus tickets
on a toilet seat in the park.
Grand Anywhere Station
Main Entrance
Dog urinates against a plinth
column,

moving forward with the grace
of everyday life,
lady applies make up, wedding

looking for that strangers
car.
At the Ticket Booth
I apply my hand to the change
slot,
a few bucks for the ticket,
shithead dope peers back,
yawns
reaches for my stash, passes
a ticket,
spits on the floor to his

I resist the urge to commit
murder.
In the Waiting Room
Homeless one stretches lengthwise
on spare bench, only fully
seatable one,
security pokes him, tells
him to move on,
"FUCK OFF" echoes around the
room,
a club swings up and an arm

then......
acquiescence.........
dodgy old bloke wanders off
to be replaced
by street-smart urchin in
rags.
Never a homeless place, huh!
Fuss and bother on the Platform
"Step back from the edge madame!"
She in fear, looks at the
track, the train coming,
sneaks a view at the cop with
his gun drawn,
'If I jump, I die' she thinks,
bastard jacks the hammer
"Miss, don't make me shoot
you!"
and she laughed at the irony,
I saw her smile, a sad sight
then she disappeared in the
roar of the train.
What the Train Driver saw......
Nothing, he was eating his
fucking sandwich,
he should have been watching
the next station.
The cop beat his brains out
for not stopping,
yes, a little later.

Excruciating,

On being injected.

On recovery from a broken heart
Been in the job for years,
sometimes stirrer, sometimes
worker,
union man to the core--
kicked out, too old,
split the core of my existence,
no longer capable,
striking
on my own, the pain
just won't go away.
On feeling anothers pain.
There
he is, the Bundy kid,
Ted, his name, flick knife in hand,
staring--
I weaved away from him, I had the prize
he
so much hated, popularity!
Saw the headlines years later and knew,
I was lucky,
but a little prick in the back of
my neck
made me realise.
Slack
Can't be bothered

slackard,
Take a twist of

get away with it,

There is an anger

A Wet Highway, a Madman, and
Headlights on Full Beam
Highway One,
dead silent, empty,
a dark night when all indoors
watch the rugby world cup,
a wet shimmer glows,
sending stones into high focus
to the eyes of the madman
walking
the centreline.
Yellow'd white lines
freeze in unison going nowhere,
stretched out and beyond
to infinity, or roads end
and the beam of a car approaches,
I walk on, knowing he won't
see me
till it's too late,
he misses,
dark clothing disguises me
in the dark
as the air of his speed passes
me by,
I walk on, the glow of wet
tar
shining evermore dark upon
my maniacal stare
and the glare of another Highbeam
lights my path,
A Truck, many lights,
big, and solid, and very fast,
I walk on, sticking to the
middle white line,
his approach is roaring and
incessant,
he flicks then, low high low,
seen me, observed my presence
and the sound of a mighty
horn roars
as he moves to the left
too late, swish!
and the air blows me to the
side,
his speed a challenge accepted,
his vulnerability eaten,
and I straighten back to the
line,
march on, and the road glares
back at me,
the yellow lines pale glow
flows
through my intent,
I walk on.
1Yes, it was a game
a fools errand
but I did it,
45 years old and still able
to walk
the centreline,
challenge death and life,
and I breath in the crisp
night air,
walk off to the side of the
road
and turn for home,
tonight, I survived, again,
the Wet Highway, Madman and
Highbeams.
A million little furry things
in Daniellas King Size bed.
He saw her in the bar, cool,
brunette, sexy,
smiled at her across the room,
returned too,
bought himself a drink, he;
Ralph, sophisticat,
she kept looking his way,
bought her a drink
and they met, chemistry like
a shot.
Hi, Ralph, pleased to meet
you.
Hi Ralph, Daniella, the pleasure
is mine!
Later they went back to her
place,
drunk a little more and she
showed him around,
they never got past the bedroom,
clothes strewn everywhere
and mad passionate effort
of foreplay.
She is beautiful, he thought,
nice quim too,
not too shabby, nicely trimmed,
well shaped.
He's a hunk, love those rippling
muscles
and the size of him, this
I will love.
Exhausted and sweaty, they
rolled over
and went to sleep, sated in
each others efforts,
they dreamed, she on her side
of the bed,
he wherever he roamed to and
from,
the night rolled on.
What the fuck!! What is happening
to me?
He looked all over his body,
attacked
by a million quims, her quims,
nibbling
and sucking his flesh,
Ralph swatted at them, but
they persisted.
He woke in the morning, it
was dark.
Shall we have another then
shower?
He looked at her, and smiled,
they finished and headed for
the shower,
he was in heaven, he thought,
then the dream resurfaced
as he showered with her.
I see you have met my friends,
Danielle smiled at him, cheekily,
he looked then at his body,
little light bruises everywhere,
he gasped, it wasn't a dream
and then she laughed, maniacal,
a Black Widow look to her.
He was athletic afterall,
clothes on, wet
and running out the door before
you could say
"Jack Robinson."
Translating Pillowtalk
Bought a machine today,
newfangled
thingamy whatsit,
put a pillowcase in and it plays it back
everything, since the last wash,
even, yes, even, snores
baritone
and falsetto, snuffles too.
Played back a dream from three nights hence
something about love, and fashions
didn't
make no sense, then what dream does.
Then a voice, high pitched, womanly
not mine, but a female answering me back!
Was
she there then, heck I don't know, asleep,
she was sexy, cooing to me, and my breathing
sort of grabbed itself and ran,
and
then I had to change to side two,
must have flipped the pillow over
and nothing, slept like a baby, yeah
even a gaga
googoo whistled softly
out of the speakers either side,
I sort of smiled, how many pillows did I have?
Got a
job, cleaning carpets by day,
took my pillow corder along,
tres interesting mes amies.
The Ballad of Unders Tress
Have you ever had the hammers
knocking at your head?
Do you often feel that you're
better of dead?
can you think of nothing but
your worldly dread?
Well here is the tale of Unders
Tress.
Can you wonder why your life
seems such a mess?
Can you hate the girl who
wears a dress?
Does anyone find compassion
when you try to confess?
Such is life when you're Unders
Tress.
Is your head always ringing
with startling indecision?
Does everyone look at you
with mock derision?
Is your problem deniable,
yet exacting precision?
Ask anyone, when they're Unders
Tress.
Do you continually question
your role in this life?
Do you blame yourself when
your family is in strife?
Are the things you say and
do, hurting your wife?
Is it possible that you could
be Unders Tress!
Can you climb out of the hole
of your benign rat race?
Does it feel good to have
the wind in your face?
Is working too fast just a
mediocre pace?
Then being confused could
be Unders Tress!
And can you imagine the harm
that only you are causing?
When life is continuum apace,
without pausing?
And the littlest of things
come at you ad nauseum!
Imagine, my friends, what
it's like for Unders Tress.
Will compassion come, and
some rational thinking?
Or will you sail on the life
ship, while the ship is sinking?
Can you hop ashore and take
a reality check, blinking?
Then try to get out from the
life of Unders Tress?
But how?
Ah, Therein lies the answer,
Unders Tress ain't a dancer,
Can't have any fun,
with his life in shattered
pieces,
feels that everything
is urine and faeces.
Who the hell wants to live
Unders Tress's life?

stinks
the heights of
ecstasy
your moment is
come
and the realisation
that
this poem is
so dumb
that your lips
cry numb
and close out
the thought
that like all
men, this one
comes, as usual
to naught.
Bourgeois Circle
Jerks
There is a bunch of circus
clowns,
Who swing across the towns
Making dreams work
Bourgeois circle jerks.
There be night crawlers deep,
Creeping and trolling for
sleep,
Removing every perk,
Bourgeois circle jerks.
There be reaction or counterreaction,
Satisfaction and broken faction,
Icelandic singer called Bjork,
Bourgeois circle jerk.
But in the middle of the night,
When I'm feeling goddam alright,
And the nurses think me rather
perked,
I'm just a Bourgeois circle
jerk, too.
Reciprocal Analogies
Red makes a bull enraged,
'Bullshit!'
I say,
the wasp sting in the tale
maketh a Bull Rush.
Dog is the reversal of God,
do I call pooch - Susej?
saviour
of mankind,
or just write a book called the Fable.
I hate vegetarians,
high and mighty wankers,
preach
the healthy gospel,
never met one older than fifty eight.
Liars are my life long bane,
yet every 3 years I vote
for them,
then wonder why my lot is piss poor,
maybe I lie too much to myself?
If I was confronted
with the
choice of being righteous,
or healthy and clean,
think I'd take the lower human offer.
