how to read the door

unpatched missile crisis in my yard
sizzling in my sandwiches
open the door
I break off the top and drink the handle
too much to earn before I die
venture capitals in lowers case i's
don't know the lying truth
is it sheep and goats
lion and the lamb
cat in the hat?
i'll go with that!
and whimpers in the john go home
where goes the venture capitals?
to eat with the homeless?
bless their thoughtless knees and nose
they sneeze and I goes
out of here.  the parking lot stinks
lay it out like magic.  there you go
it's just like making pies with skittles
you never know when it warms
it's got to last, but?
it's a shitty place to go
pull the mat, chatter the teeth, let the orange go
cat in the hat
is the best poetry I know
I ate at bed now dreaming
where does this fixture go?
i'm awake and sliding
the end of my match shivers and falls
is this metaphor or the real thing?

what you're wearing

There is both ether and outher 

Nobody knows the difference

One goes up the other down

There is no sound deference

different pies for different moons

Leaving doubt a warm blanket

in a kangaroo court of dismay

it doesn't go away

fried chicken and camomules

fast food for cows and hydrates

feeding on tamuloons

there's a difference between sow and sot

there is no cream nor spoon

the cows are pasturizing

as is their gait when they gesticulate

not always articulate

laughing down wine in spools

it's the ridiculousness of their blather

not to oxygenate nor ask names

one banner doesn't deserve another

it's just a perspective from left field

how do you roam the sun's always sky

raindrops add to the litter

there's more to life than saving the earth

a decaying metropolis asks the usual why questions

candor goes insane in the waiting 

for something to do doesn't take long

i'll ask the y to tease the z
