Dividing of Parts


To-day we have dividing of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleansing. And to-morrow morning
We shall have what to do after firing. But to-day
To-day we have dividing of parts. Lavenders
Sweetly pollinate each others' flowery fruits
     And to-day we have dividing of parts.

This is the strong man. And this 
Is the obedient woman, whose use you will see, 
When you have taken your vows. And this is the dowry,
Which in your case you have not got. The clouds
Float in the skies their white, indefinite forms
     Which in our case we have not got.

This is the heterosexuality, which is always released
With an easy flick from the mass-media. And please do not let me
See anyone using his emotions. You can do it quite easy
If you have any masculinity. The mossy trees
stand defiant, dark, and green, never letting anyone see
     Any of them using their emotions.

And this you can see is the penis. The purpose of this
Is to spread your seed, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
The miracle of life. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The heavenly moon performs its tides:
     They call it the miracle of life.

They call it the miracle of life: it is perfectly easy
If you have any masculinity: like the penis,
And the seed, and the sexuality, and the traditions
Which in our case we have not got; and the violets
Float amongst each others' flowery fruits and the tides going backwards and forwards
     For to-day we have dividing of parts.

Hills Like White Elephants 

They do not agree upon what is going to happen
Although he thinks that they do
She realises that she is trapped in
A relationship that has nowhere to go

She clearly loves one more than the other
He is too dumb to see
Or maybe he just cannot bother
But she knows who it is going to be

They drink away their troubles
Although her troubles stay
Her suggestions however are subtle
So his ideas will not go away

Their ways will maybe part
Although his solution may seem elegant
When he realises what is really in her heart

There might not be any white elephants

.but backwards and omitted, to turn it all poetic

Joshua trees tells of arthritic glory
They all fell on dead pictures 
Bar, weatherbeaten, roared dry songs
Screen doors came up miserable big steak dinner
Her face had to see supersonic pilot
Free steak dinner serve few pilots
The day was implausible and strange
No reverberation had become tremendous mid-afternoon 
Any case was never quite the chief
Another possibility did strategic breakthrough 
Wartime was hard brass
On the minds was directly among the people
The flight line was not to go be informed
The press put on top security orders
Wright Field break supersonic ship
Instruments checked out deadpan Yeager
"Machometer" could be picked up by the secret exchange
They had understood the High Lake
Aerobatics rolls back down and land at the world
A king's solitude was vast rocket fuel
He was faster than Heaven
Pilot had the top of the X-I
Space was simply looking too thin
Air had reached the same sun
The moon turned straight through the sensation
Yeager topped sonic like a bat
Jack guess poker-hollow Yeager's
They think it seeing Chuck
It heard many, Theodore von Kármán
The physicist heard the ground rock over that moment
Ol' machometer make off .96

The needle pinned elevator note

a night out

     As I make my path through the large mass,
Where people show their loyalty;
Under the beaming lights and loud bass,
I look about and feel empty.

As I make my choice to stay a bit,
Still with a black hole in my chest;
The feigned fun makes me utterly lit,
Yet sometimes I ought to give it rest.

As I make my night come to an end,
While I’m feeling a bit funky;
And trying my best to not offend,

Sick of always smiling monkey.

Out came car


Out came deer
Deer run far
Deer stop here
Out came car

Car has brakes
Brakes not thrilled
Despite driver shakes
No deer killed

Away went deer
Deer went far
Driver drank beer
Farther went car

Light turned red
Driver too drunk
Child right ahead
Car said clunk

Child was only five
Don't drink and drive

The Red Sun

A 5 minute poem

Under the red sun I lie
Seeing oceans passing by
By the cliff and mountain dust
And the looming towers of rust

Beauties of green lied everywhere
With buzzers and movers here and there
But now desolation reign supreme
In this dread necromantic dream

Soon the sun will fade to black
And leave this ancient ground in cold
The people will never again come back
They left in their ships so bold

My Little Rag Doll

My Little Rag Doll

I owned a rag doll when I was young,
I used to hug it and love it, all day long.

Of course some times I could be a bit rough,
and once, accidentally, ripped one of its arms off.

Another time, by accident no doubt,
one of its eyes popped right out.

Yes I remember, with no signs of mercy,
I could punch it, toss it, squash it, and get it quite dirty.

But no matter what I did – of course, I regret it all,

she would still smile at me, my little rag doll.
