Two Reactionaries Presently in Office–-
Indulging in Aged Bourbon
-How come you never hear legislative ladies
talk about their husbands?
-What's to say? They're pussies! How could it be
otherwise, married to a dragon?
-Can’t we run history backwards and take the vote away?
-Back to '17? Nah. Let's look forward! We're modern, hah hah.
-All right then, I'll introduce an amendment forbidding
them bicycles.
-So they can't pedal their ass around the block?
-Good one! And the car!
-Chip away, huh?
-Making up in the rearview mirror and babbling on cell phones! Danger to their various communities!
And we know they can't park one: All that particular silly pantomime disrupts commerce!
-Agreed. But the big one is voting and, not incidentally,
opposition gets the lion’s share of them.
-So many bleeding hearts!
-I got it! Science! We commission a huge study by a Christian
college: Women temperamentally unsuited to vote, therefore...
-Not at present, but let's not give up on this.
-Where there’s a will...
-there’s a slow, sneaky program.
-How can I get a dick implant?
-I don’t know but our party needs one. We shouldn’t have to
even bother with all this feminist crap.

The Bill Collector's Wife
-How'd it go?
-It went.
-Ah the usual gaiety then! But, pray tell, any highlights?
-Got a sobbing grandmother on a gouging pay plan.
-A service! Like doctor, priest, teacher!
She was underwater then?
-House, car, everything.
-I was...being witty.
-Wave a red flag. My brain is fried.
-And is she still heaving?
-Without doubt.
-Buck up, Macduff! Pays our bills. Thus no obnoxious prick calls us.
-I'm the bulldog face of American Pig Capitalism!
-Halt! Before you mix another metaphor! Or wave the
real red flag!
-Too hammered down to be Socialist rebel.
-I wonder if most of them are ditzy utopians, or have choked overmuch on plutocratic gorge.
-I don't need theory. I need a decent job among decent people.
-Rarer and rarer. Way the bosses prefer it.
-Well, now some cheap incendiary booze and letting the TV paint my face.
-Oh joy!
-I used to be a man!
-Miss that part.

Gold!
I live in Cocoa Beach, Florida, and if the shooting war between staunch white Republicans and undocumented brown workers coincides with a Category-5 hurricane, blood will flow down from the causeways.
I hope to have a brick of Kraft cheese to strike a deal with a shattered guy bearing a loaf of bread.
I won’t sell my cheese outright. No way.
And neither I nor my future survival partner will accept a bar of gold.

Short Conversation w/Song
-(singing) Better to have love and lost,
than never to have loved at all.
-Your music captures the thud-
ding resonance better than the words.
-They're a team.
-Uh huh. How about Better to be free

-Flat, stale, and unprofitable.
Not to say anti-romantic.
-Love pays?
-Of course!
-Love costs.
-Yes, it's dear.

Lunch With Charlie
Ow! said I.
Too bad, remarked
Charlie the Ant.
I browse my paper at
the same outdoor lunch
spot and Charlie or
his ilk get me often.
Hey! Throw down a few crumbs
and we'll go crazy over ‘em
and thereby spare you.
Next time I did and--I want
to say thousands--but maybe
hundreds formed black seas around
tiny pale islands. The Nabisco Islands.
Oh a few outliers came my way still,
like poets leaving men
and women at picnics
to commune with

lisp "Ith a lie!" And girly-pout at such awful meanness!

I have more tolerance. They refuse to legislate
and must have something to do. So, Big Lie
Technique Repubs have learned at Mama's icy tit.
WALLY
They're just filling the vacuum of Democrat's dumbness!
ROCCO
Nature abhors etc. Or is that Nature's a whore?
WALLY
Keep wandering! Your opponents go straight to the jugular!
ROCCO
They’re a a dopey burlesque and fool no one.
Death Panels indeed! Just got Grandma off the booze
and now the Democrats are gonna execute her!
WALLY
Laugh on, Macduff, but that kind of egregious shit sticks.
ROCCO
Only in the voting troglodyte's mind!
WALLY
At any rate, Democrat and their professors are
gathering themselves right now to compile a dossier
of Republican whoppers. And forge something forceful!
ROCCO
Be a long meeting!
WALLY
In two rooms.
ROCCO
Why two?

Where It's Heading
-Piled too high in the warehouses. Something falls
on a guy, we got Workman's Compensation nosing in!
-Don't want either. Workman hurt or government butting in.
-So, let's sell something? That's the revered model.
Not hoarding.
-Old model. Something new evolving here.
Buy another warehouse!
-As your accountant I'd like to snap you to your senses
by saying you can't afford it, but...
-No end to warehouses I could buy.
-Then how 'bout rent? I'll run the figures if you want but...
-Like to own things. You go there and it's all yours.
-But there's a limit!
-I don't think so.
-Can become a pathology!
-Don't doubt it. May I point out to you that I got rich
by being considered nuts.
-And you can add to your wealth by peddling what crams
your multitudinous warehouses!
-I don't think so. We'll see. We'll just wait and see.
-Like King Midas.
-Always a favorite!
-Perhaps you figure it’s great collateral for loans?
-I’ll consider that. When I get around to
considering anything. If.

The Couple in Art
Publicist finds maestro alone in dark theater.
Can’t relax.
Suggests park to listen to summer band.
He winces at expected clinkers.
Art Tatum like improvs at night club etc?
Good, but late hours.
Then, small experimental theater company?
Ever see genius color up? “I’ll have my secretary phone!”
So, newer twists on kitchen sink glazed
with four-letter words. New to him
and his enthusiasm grows.
He becomes investor.
Enter Kyre, stage left, right, and everywhere else.
Other company members call her
Rhymes-with-Fire...or with Dire or Liar.
As in “Rhymes-with-Fire told the playwright
to dump the entire second act. He’s muttering
in the alley.”
At any rate, when she was actor the director drank,
when director the cast mutinied.
As Fate will mishandle it, romance ensues
between our sweet maestro and this incendiary
who'd be a handful to a man thoroughly experienced.
All expect flameout, of course, but they marry shortly after
at a stockbroker's digs in East Haddam.
The prognosis is, of course, less than poor,
however, until Kyre's great decision:
She leaves acting and directing to produce.
In her first try she stages
The Tempest in a roller rink, asking
Maestro to write the music for barrelhouse
organ. It proves more than a smash.
You can’t get a ticket. Scalpers ask
three thousand a pop!
A year later most of the whole caboodle
moves to Broadway, of course, and there’s
a film with Johnny Depp.
Maestro asked to write other scores
and conduct all over the world.
Kyre and he buy a place in Tuscany
and spent a month there a year,
Maestro totally adored and
Kyre battling all the merchants.
Well, flip the milestone years off the calendar
as in old black and white musicals and
place a foot near the grave ledge for both.
The marriage remains in a state of
incipient explosion which amuses
Maestro and spurs Kyre further. She has added
menacing metal bands to her production stable.
He wears noise-canceling earphones
to auditions she coaxes him to attend.

The Terrestrial Saint
When I inform the wise man that
so and so is an obnoxious prick,
I'm advised that he’s to be judged

For he glimpses the mystic and

who might lose tooth, instead
praise him to heaven. High-

Later, to his wife:

-I don't think so.
-How could you not--?
-Take a peek at my car. Therein sits a guard.
Without doing justice to his macho vacuity I recite:
“Please return. Those responsible dismissed.”

-A cabal discovered and snuffed. But why did it
focus on you?
-I just do my job!
