Run

Come, we have to clean the house. The television set is dusty and filthy and the flies are sipping at the spoiled milk. The milk carton unfolded on the kitchen sink. I smacked one fly by the mirror in the bathroom. We have to clean all those toothpaste marks on the chrome sink and spout and the K-Y Jelly stains on my bed sheets.

 

No, John, he never made it through puberty. He still goes to his shrine at home and masturbates to the playboy magazines and gives himself sugar disease. He is sad. No, John, you cannot go to the nurse.

 

Why must I peel away my skin and show you my cleverness or sadness or holiness or calmness or secrets or desires or falsifications or horrors? Why should I open the door and be a fool and dig you a hole in my garden?

 

I’ve got a ton of chores to do but haven’t been paid my allowance. Swimming in the water pool and bands from Australia play on the outdoor radio. I’m in shades, but not myself today. See my reflection in my glasses and smell the hot dogs and pure beef burgers on the grill. We sat on the bench with the peeling and chipped red paint. The old rain-soaked wood bearing through and sticking to my legs. The brook aside trickles underground to where our gang spray painted on the walls of the tunnel of love. That dog used to bark at us all the time and one time I ran and ran and my head bled and gushed my hands covered in burnt blood dry and thick. But now I’m afloat, adrift in chlorine feeling the heat, but not myself. Not today, maybe tomorrow, lets play catch, I’ve heard that tune, but not that tone now forever now always.

 

The photographs are lovely. Pornography. Every word, or association. Yes, I belong to the club. Did you see that comedian? He wouldn’t sign. No religion? And no war?

 

He drove us to see Egg Bert in his old dark green Nova. She with her blond hair, I’ve got my blue eyes from her. I once locked the door and cried but Scooby Doo and my fruit roll-ups after school always soothed the sadness of Lalla and Jocelyn that never formed. She and I always sled together and had Dad build igloos for us. I never got to drive the Volvo or the orange Vega. I’ve seen the Volvo, now and again, it sounds like a television show. Perhaps that one that is all dusty and filthy.

 

One more, I turned around, tickled, I kicked his ass, I loved it from her. She can tickle me over and over and over again. We smiled, held, the mirror knew. Too bad I couldn’t fit or be or even draw or tell hot from cold I knew the yellow-eyed loved. Black and white view was the best, even climbed, never failed and always slept. I hope he dies in my arms and not yours, beast.

Black Eyes

Stare into my black eyes

And see nothing

But the distance between Heaven and Hell

Cycle through and travel

In the cold stone

Bloodless

Heartless

Concrete construction

Oval

 

Stare into my black eyes

Do I remind you of someone?

Or something?

Grab a hold

Watch my wings part and soar

Now I look upon you with fire behind me

And depths all around

 

Stare into my black eyes

Become a scared rat and run

Watch me step on your tail and make you suffer

Eat your mother’s feces on your child’s lap

And drown in your lover’s urine and spit

As the earth ignites in blue flame

 

Stare into my black eyes

Search for the emptiness

Pray to your believer

Take your garlic and cross and wooden stake

Your manuals and books and written words

Your theatre and paintings and tongues

Twist them around and carry them off

 

Stare into my black eyes

My eyes will bite at your heart

And steal your soul and spirit and faith

Hold my hand

As your eyes become black as mine

Sweat thrown onto me

Like gravel and pebbles sticking to my back

Cold ears never hear what I have to say

Never listen

Only flood to the dimple in your chin

 

Wind of nakedness

Giving you my rights

Justice never served

You told me to phone you if it was illegal

I will see you Monday

 

Bald spitting head

Tough guy

In hospital shorts

I saw you on the cover of that magazine

No kidding

How is your girlfriend?

Good

Take off your leather pants

He wasn’t feeling well

Cereal wet-ones

A lawyer in a tie

I’ve broken my toe

Split ends

 

Now my eyes are open

Wont someone please help me?

They said he would be killed

Killer Mosquitos

Cab ride

And I breathe

 

I’m paying my bills now

Please leave me alone

Here I come

Drifting in behind you

Above the art and around you

Now I’m underneath your feet

Behind the other viewers

Around the corner

 

I’m right here

Looking out at you

Hanging on the wall

Hear my voice

The Sound Of Silence

Deaf

I hear nothing

Silence

She made me keep quiet

An orchestra of violins

And ultramarine hues

Asian sun

Humid air over my two moons rising

The ocean steps foward on white sands

Three times I called out

No return, no echo

Shaved myself clean today

No stubble on my jaw

No under arm hair or eyebrow hair

Just an empty road taken alone

Curving and bending

Oncoming cars and hotel tips

My army shirt

Afternoon tea and biscuits

She made me deaf

I drown in the pools of my tears

They swallow my body and shadow

And I sink to the bottom of the dark blue

In the coldness of silence

As Iπm kneeling down infront

I hear an angels voice calling my name

Breathing in the ebony air

Wrap my arms around empty self

My tears of salt and past drop to the floor

The aged wooden floor absorbs my history

And the dreams of fallen teeth

Fly up to the windows from beneath my stained self

I hear nothing

The thoughts in my head

Yells from my father and mother

Wind birds on my shoulder

The silence now buried

And you can kiss the air and taste the scent

Chisel my name into your stone heart and memory

Always remember that I cared you

I come home nightly

To strip to my cold nakedness

And run around in my baby skin

And roll up my current fall issue

Curl it up into a bat

And swing at the iridescent

Buzzing-by larva laying

Grey Hair (Orange Juice & Coffee)

We took the sour Orange Juice together

soaked in the wetness of health

and had a delightful toast

She massaged my back and that was that

 

Like dead animals living

flesh eating flesh

She quivered in her own cum

 

She used salt chalk for make up

Q-tips until her ears bled

brushed her teeth until gums bled

choked on her tears

 

He laughed and laughed with me

We ate sweet bananas together

And laughed at the fat laugher and the tall guy

That guy was really tall and skinny and always shook

He did the Thorazine shuffle

Wish I was in the Day.

 

She really knows how to burn a friendship

and scatter the ashes

across the plains of death

I wonder if she will tuck me in at night

Read me a bedtime story

Knowing I cannot respond

or remember her name?

 

I got dressed up in my tuxedo

We wined and dined and she did her usual grind

We had a ball, a grand all time

but it wasn’t her who I wanted

All these years

I wait and wait,

search and search

 

I see her reflection

her dirty ragged old hair

her aged skin with valleys of wrinkles

Liver spots and dead skin drifting to the floor

I comb her thick hair and hold her fragile hand

We talk for lasting hours into the night

I learn about her two sons and her daughter

The life she had in the vivid colors of greens and blues

 

Tomorrow a new day

it’s today

to see my friend, I dive the traffic

and I find her dead

Her silver hair

She gave me ten-dollar bill in my hands

I never said thankyou

It rained down

Oil upon my face

 

I go outside

Rub chalk on my face

and wash up

brush my teeth

and discover my feet under the covers

You know I did wrong

but I only sang the song I knew

and now my hair is grey.

The Bag Of Shit Side Step

I woke up this morning

In a pool of my salty tears

From now on I will cry

Yet I realize why I have my rules

And why I follow them

Because every single time I fall

I fall into the darkness of emptiness

Where people shed their true skin

And expose their evil intentions and unwarming heart

 

Once again, perhaps I could have stepped into a bag of shit

But before I could try I got pushed into the darkness

Wolf’s Flu

She asked me, “Would you like some more?”

I said “Yes please.”

 

Overhead, on the radio, I could hear what seemed to be the Talking Heads

 

We had a conversation, about the songs that related to every woman I dated

or was involved with. It’s weird, we both realized, ... it was a hot summer

night.

 

Am I right or wrong? My god, what have I done?

 

Nowadays it’s no more 12 cups of coffee with 4 sugar and 2 sweet n’ low per cup.

Now I take it black, strong, thick.

 

It was a conversation unrealistic. I only spoke to her once. When she was

in California and I was in New York. We’ve exchanged before but not like

this. It was just grand. I recall my High School English professor using

that word.

 

Today I put on a suit and tie and got myself a new job.

In a way it’s kind of horrible, I have to ‘dress up’ now when I goto work.

Some days are better than others.

And, If I want to be free, I’ll be free.

It’s in my head.

 

She rolled over, next to the ice cold glass of water.

She was in white, the drapes moved with the wind from the open window.

Far in the back we heard the rumble of a stock train going by.

This is where we were that day.

Pittsburgh

Later I met with Paul and Andy and Myself.

I wish I had some tongues with me.

 

One summer I would drive my car on errands for my gay boss.

I would drive up the New York State Thruway and get off.

That summer I listened to two songs over and over again, and one tape.

She made me a turkey sandwich; He knew something was up.

 

My grandmother, on my mother’s side, she would make this potted chicken

dish stew thing.

I, pretty much hated it. But I really did dig the potatoes and carrots in

the stew.

 

If I’m out in the sun too long, I get an awful sunburn.

Who wants to go walk on a nude beach?

I was walking home the other day, just after a thunderstorm.

The sky was so incredible. The sunset was just over the clouds, but hiding.

The sky was pink and the light reflected all over me and on the streets and

buildings and people and taxi cabs, gosh I wish I could replicate that

beauty ... in a painting or photograph... But It will have to last in my

head. As long as I can take it.

 

So, like I said, I’ll bring down the government walls.

 

I finished, and asked her for the check.

I told her “Have a good night.”

Woman In Blue

The woman in blue

My Azul

From Argentina

Showing her belly button

Her smiling lips

Her beauty bending

Few words spoken

Glances from chairs

I wish I knew her name

I wish I knew her name

 

She sat just a few chairs away

Just before we exchanged questions and answers

She would look back at me

I would look at her

Glancing her up and down

Following her contour

Her bare feet

And black low cut pants

Up upon her waist and her tight piercing-blue top

The curves of her breasts to her neck

And her rose lips and great baby brown eyes

 

Imagined the love we could make

She was, a guess, about thirty-four or five

Beautiful from the Southern Sea

All we did for the rest of the evening

Was glance at each other

Not speaking a word

Only exchanging smiles of wonder and understanding

And appreciation for the photographic memories

 

Woman In Blue

I wish I got to know you

Your aging hands and palms and ringless heart

 

Woman In Blue

I might bump into you and grind away at what makes you tick

Through our connection of wires that brought us together

 

I’ll see you later

Hopefully at Two

Tonight, I’ll dream of Blue

JFK

USS Grasp won’t lift me out of the sea

The United States Citizens won’t pay to fly my father via helicopter

to my crash site out in the ocean bed

At least now I know there is a big loft available in Tribeca

I could be doing lots of art there, and not be just a rich folk

How come I’m not famous?

Because my father didn’t die?

Because my father didn’t work for the government?

Maybe my father did more, if he saved one person from suicide, does that

make him famous? A hero?

Would you dive for me?

Would you dive for my dead father?

And his airplane?

Would the President give a damn?

Will Newspapers cover my death or will I be buried in lonesome without

public knowledge?

Will a Coast Guard ship ferry my father out to see my dead plane?

Will England and Australia and Japan write about my disappearance in the sea?

Why is it appropriate for the Navy to find them?

Aren’t we all equal? all human? Isn’t there an Amendment?

If I contribute the birth of a child or a smile, is that not enough to save

my life?

Or now, my taxes, my money, must pay for the salvage of three I never knew?

 

I know what really happened, you see...

It was just a little Orgy.

You know the car fun, why not airplane fun?

JFK’s wife was going down on him, giving head, on that airplane, now there dead.

Her sister got hot, and her panties, damn wet - before you know it, the

windows were foggy

and wha-la! JFK was going speedy, and kaboom! (remember that cereal?)

All right, you may be disgusted, but we all know what happened.

It was a double murder-suicide.

You see - JFK was smackin’ around his bitch. The bitch’s sister interfered.

JFK lost his cool and punched her in the face and pushed and pushed and now

she’s gone without a trace; he pushed her out of the plane

JFK knows he done wrong - so now he must beat his bitch out of the plane too

He beat and beat and killed two - that’s a double murder on his plate - what

to do?

He didn’t want fame nor George nor boats nor airports nor common sense,

murder just led him to heaven,

so, he committed suicide after a double Dutch!

And now i buy the papers, it’s what we call art,

or I use for kitty litter and abbey road junior can make a piss on.

 

How can you say, that the Kennedy family contributed more than the Harth family?

And this justifies why I spent my tax dollars on a man I never gave a damn

about?

I would never get the USS Briscoe out to sea for my commitment

Now I have to go home and take a JFK Jr highway home or bridge over waters?

And later plan my schedule to go around blocked streets because I’m paying

for the President to come to town to pay respect. Fuck that, It’s a free

world, let me walk on the street, or If I do, I’ll be arrested?

 

I went on the online auctions today

Did you see them?

You can get the first issue of GEORGE magazine for currently $150

You can get the current issue of GEORGE magazine for currently $26

You can get the next month’s issue of GEORGE magazine for currently $26

(with JFK Jr on the cover!)

I got mine; did you get yours?

You can also buy domain names, like JFK-Jr.com and such, for five thousand,

fifteen thousand and twenty thousand dollars. There’s something I need!

 

I went to St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral

Just a few blocks away

I was just there, a few weeks ago

Out on the street watching girls eat mangos and French films projected on

the church walls.

The old Irish lad came out and said it was a circus in there

Kind of like the media circus out here?

I heard the bag pipes

And took some photographs

The priest came out to those who couldn’t get in, though those that were in,

were hot smelly sweaty pigs and dogs. With no air conditioning, the FDNY

went in often. And Con-Edison, that I paid for, set up unique

air-conditioning that didn’t work.

The priest giving Communion. He came around. He placed a wafer in my hand,

circular with a cross in the middle. I saved it in my palm close to my

heart and now tomorrow, check out the online auctions I’ll make a million

with it!!

After services I toured the church, couldn’t find my art but lit a candle

for a friend.

 

I ran away and got more tape

I ran away and printed up signs

I trekked down to Tribeca where I posted signs on the Police barricade.

They said

(in small letters):

WE LOVE JFK-BASSETTE

(in big letters):

PRESS

LET

THEM

REST

 

A woman asked me, “What organization are you with?”

I replied, “None, I’m just Human.”

 

But the press didn’t like me.

Gave me weird looks

Yelled and called me names with sarcastic thankyous.

I took photos of my art and went on the waiting line.

It’s time to fuck up the mainstream, and I’ll start with my medium, the media.

so, I went to the flower shrine in TriBeCa

waste of money flowers? how about all the dying children and cancer?

i left an “I AM AMERICA” bill there to lay

and on it I wrote

‘In JFK we don’t trust to fly us’

I have photos to prove it, I’ll show you one day.

And I taped up all over the walls and flowers my signage to the press;

PRESS LET THEM REST

 

I passed the candles, American-flags, teddy-bears, signs, photos, children,

letters, drawings, paintings, guitars, caps, dead flowers, 20-dollar bills,

glitter, marker, ink, non-American flags, poetry, hands, flashes, elevator

shaft ways, and life

went back to my Police barricades and my signs were ripped down

The press doesn’t like it when I fight back

 

So now I plead with you all

Realize today we play the bagpipes all together

Like the bum on the corner making a dime

We once were told we were equal, but you see we are not.

Some pigs are more equal than other pigs

RABBITFUCK

I remember, one day, a few years back ...

 

While sitting on the toilet, peaking at my shit, as if they were clouds. I noticed the magnificent shape the shit was in. Like Disney characters Mickey & Minnie, ah, childhood. Believe it or not, I was reading Artforum on the potty that day. When talking on the phone and having a drag, my girlfriend calls. She tells me that she wants to tie my legs up to the kitchen chair and make me masturbate in front of her. I tell her she’s crazy but she comes over anyway and fucks me to sleep on my throne of porcelain. I wake up, she still on my shoulders, shit below me, she had pissed all over me. Madonna once said piss is a cleanser, today it got my fungus out of my ass and toes. So, I picked her up, way up high, and ate her out until her thigh was giving me a great big red television reception. She brought that tv in earlier. Just to watch porn, or maybe herself. My girlfriend is a porn star in daisy dukes, she shopped for those cut-off jeans on long ass lines just too entertain me and drive me crazy and insane. Which is why now I do nothing, not even walk or keep house; I just sit on my pot and give up my spouse for this daily shit I do. Too bad, I could have wed or even done med, but without a degree, I’m just going to continue to pee.
