Green Shit
For 7 nights and 7 days
My shit was green
And green was my shit
I shit in my green
With green in my shit
An Irish green
In my ass shit
Shit in my green
Four leaf clover shit
Green shit
Shit
My lucky charm
And Leprechaun shit
I shit green
And green was my shit
For 7 nights and 7 days
I shit green shit
Shit was green
Like a fookin’ Irish green
Green was my shit
And shit was my green

Christmas Evening
Alone I sit
Surrounded by America’s religion
I’m forgotten
I’m nothing today
Insignificant
I’m Hallmark’s enemy
And Santa Claus’ doormat
I’m the thief
And I drip hot candle wax on my wrists
I’ve never been invited
Or maybe only once
Although my mind escaped the coldness
I prepare my own army
And make a new bomb
My feet are cold
My tongue numb
And I begin to fall apart
In my shadows of nothingness
It’s Christmas Eve
Where have all the flowers gone?
The single Jews
The yellow stars
My father Hitler
And friends in Seattle
My grandmother beats me
Into a pulp over meeting
She doesn’t understand

How Long?
How Long
Will you whisper those sweet words into my ears?
How Long
Will you tease me with your seductive moves?
How Long
Will you be present in my life today?
How Long
Will it be until you accept my invitation?
How Long
Will it be until you say yes and smell the flowers?
How Long
Will it be until you drink the ice-water beside your bed?
How Long
Will you keep your smiles in my mind?
How Long
Will you send romantic signals to my heart?
How Long
Will you shy away from the feelings you feel?
How Long
Will you wait for the moment to rise?
How Long
Will you wait for me to be gone?
How Long
Will you wait for a fantasy to become a reality?
How Long
Until you put away rules and become an Artful Heart?
How Long
Until you share the holidays with me?
How Long
Until you roll with me on the divine bed?
How Long
Will you sing in my footsteps?
How Long
Will you flaunt your cheer and beauty in front of me?
How Long
Will you fall until you let me catch you?
How Long?

Perfection?
Don’t be afraid to ask me
Or bite me
Swallow
Wear pink or black or blue or green
Be secure and in tune
Know who you are and who I am not
Eat good be good eat bad be bad
Remember to be exciting
Don’t be afraid of the new
Of Handcuffs or feathers or strawberries
Of Diamonds or leather or porn
Of Exhibitionism or multiples or outdoors
Be real and able to cry
Hold, Care, Hug
Learn, Live, Love
Outreach and dig and fall
Don’t be afraid of meeting
Old, Older, New, Newer or past
Accept the future and illness
Battle like a fighting beast
Talk, Communicate, Experience
Feel, Think, Remember
Try, Attempt, Succeed, Fail
Write, Create, Smile, Develop
Don’t be afraid of difference
Birth marks, nipple hairs, bellies
Accents, nose curls, pubic hairs
Of cock rings, shave-less, loneliness

No More Babies For You
As I raised up
Got up from my seat
On my luxury airline cruiser
I walked up the narrow alley
Between the rows of sun-burnt travelers
Old folks with sorry ass peanuts and bearded women
Sunflower hats and greying eyeballs
Seeing the sun glare across the left wing into my iris
And on the right bolts of lightning flashing in my path
Igniting the flame of my actions
About to become real and in memory
I walked up to her
The flight attendant ahead
In front of the plane near the cock-pit
She stands there as if she awaits my pleasant surprise
She stands in her corporate uniform
I go straight to her
And slam my mother fuckin fist right in her
Deep into her ovaries
Below her chest
Right there
And in my devil language
In my yells of horror
And red glow of death, I yell,
“NO MORE FUCKIN BABIES FOR YOU!!”
Fearless and trembling in tension
Like a roaring animal full of disease and plague
I take my tough macho bad ass mother fuckin punching baby self
Back to my seat and enjoy my ride
Quietly

Found Days
Life is just a show
An assortment of catalogs
And told commercials
We are assembled and manufactured
And look into our lovers’ eyes
Love is created by corporate stands
Bookmark sayings and hallmark greetings
The episode I miss most
And desire the most
Is the never ending until next week to be continued one
These are the days
Where I remember those who adjusted
And those who affected me
Have become infected
With HIV
I remember deeply
Their smiles, their courage, their touch
I remember their words, their power, their warmth
I’ll never forget, and I’ll always pass on
Their true love
Love can’t be bought or taught
Love can only be experienced
And those who share will continue
And all I can do is smile
And think of you
Life is just a show
These are the days
I’ll never forget the sweet bananas
Your bleeding gums
And your crooked smile
The mint white sheets
And eager looks toward the Day
What you have found in me
And what I have found in you
The laughter
Looking out windows of rain
You shared your warmth with myself and others
I can only grasp at the memories
And shed salt tears in your name
And forget about being captured
I cry

Banana Republic
In my mailbox the other day,
I received an advertisement from Banana Republic.
It said:
Introducing
The Flagship Store at Rockefeller Center,
featuring accommodations, a person should be able to take
for granted, plus some very fancy gadgets:
A coat and bag check to free you for more noble pursuits.
Cell phone re-charging while you shop.
Store concierge. Whatever you need, someone will take care of it
within the limits of the law.
Complimentary delivery anywhere in Manhattan
(for purchases of $300 or more - through the end of 1999).
Palm Computing® connected organizer uploads of the store (and
other similarly fabulous places in Manhattan).
In other words, there may be more service than you can use at any
given moment, but don’t let that keep you from trying.
...
Now what I find amusing about this advertisement is statement number 3.
Let’s go over it again:
“Store concierge. Whatever you need, someone will take care of it
within the limits of the law.”
I have a question, actually, several, or, maybe they are propositions.
Would anyone here ask the store concierge to....
rob a bank?
murder someone?
rape someone?
bomb something?
hold up the store?
etc.
Now, why was this included on the advertisement?
Did lawyers suggest it from a fear of possible lawsuits?
Customers complaining that the concierge would not rob a bank with them?
I don’t know.
Advertising is weird. America is weird. I’m weird.

True Wishes
I was standing outside of Maximus in St. Petersburg Florida
Talking with a friend.
Up comes a man, I’ve only met once before
Months ago.
The man comes up and interrupts
He says to me,
“How is conceptual art working for you?”
I reply,
“I think everything works for me.”
He says to me,
“I think you should work on finding some talent.”
He walks away.
My friend and I look at each other, puzzled.
We knew that man had not seen my current show titled ‘Wishes.’
So, we continue in our puzzlement.
I go on living.
Strong, hungry and thirsty.

Intricate Ear
Her Intricate Ear
Delicate with surrounding beauty
She would listen closely and lean inwards
But never dig or dive deeper
She wanted me to display my love with words
My actions were not enough
Chasing after a dream
My imagination is torn
Knives are dug and twisted
Stabbed, as always, after opening up
Cried with warm shoulders
And a soft heart now hurt
Sometimes you feel like going away
For a long long time
To slip into the darkness
And fall like burning stars
Into the minds of all of those who have forgot
Sometimes you feel like slipping
Underneath the love
And discover the truth of love
Or the truth which lies within yourself
She listens with her Intricate Ear
Peach fuzz Ill hug and embrace
Ill cherish forever
And never forget
Now the fallen autumn leaves
Crunch beneath my footsteps
The wonderful scent rises up
Forcing me back to dreamland
I dream of her Intricate Ear
The wonders inside that dwell
And come out on occasion
In a glance or smile or spoken word
My dream will only fall
When the new ones come out
And the fresh leaves of spring
Introduce new music to my heart

BB
B because I never knew one
B because I never was sleeping
B because I never got lost
B because I never fell in deep
B because it’s a combination
B because it’s a wild roar
B because it’s the sun in the West
B because it’s a reflection
B because I never twisted along
B because I always imagined and hoped
B because I believe
B because I saw her smile
B because it’s real
B because it’s together
B because it’s a portrait
B because it’s about the warmth
B because I never was wrapped
B because I never was washed
B because I never was written
B because I never was willed
BB is an equal, a spirit
A hunted hunter
BB is lost and found
A laughter of captures
BB is tonight, a song
A magnet from the future
A heaven, a self, a crying animal

Kiss
Have you ever known anyone that you’ve wanted to kiss, and never gotten the chance to?
I have, Erich Bryan, Kurt Wullschelger, Nate Oborny (I kissed him, but then I was mean to him the next day, fear of rejection, I was so sure that he didn’t like me), Ryan Laurance, Klaus Sanford, Josh Hite (no I kissed him, I just wonder what a relationship with him would be like, I know it wouldn’t last but it might be fun for a while), my dentist, my current studio teacher (that’s against school rules),
Erik Meyer (now this one is WRONG because my besst friend has liked him for a long time, but she’s getting married now, so her loss)
When I was in the fifth grade I went to a school that was only 5th and 6th graders, and all of my friends wanted me to go out with Brad, so I agreed to it, but I didn’t really like him, I liked a 6th grader, Clint Bennet, he was a real loser, but I liked him, until he got on the bus one day with a black eye, (I still liked him a little, but I was a little scared of him) anyway, my friends asked Brad to go out with me, and he said some rude things, of which I don’t remember, must have blocked out of my memory, so, I haven’t thought much of that boy since.
But when I was a junior in high school I liked Andy Smith, and my teacher paired us up (she was a little crazy) we were going to do a video in Spanish, and there were 6 guys in the class and a lot of girls. Well, she paired us up and he yells “anyone but her please anyone but her” and there were some really nasty girls in my Spanish class, but now he’s fat and i wouldn’t ever go out with him, cause he is such a rude little ....
I guess the point is that I’m unlucky in love, but at least the guys who didn’t like me in the past are giving me a second look now.

Give Up
I give up
I’m wasted
Exhausted
Extreme
I give up
There is nothing left
No sorrow or bare trees
No grounds to hunt on
No leftover space
Or corners to mold and form
I give up
Silently awakened
In the moist midnight air
Nobody to eat
And nobody to die
I give up
Stranger’s umbrella
A holocaust nickname
A king
I give up
Let me entertain you
And kiss you on the thigh
Let me swallow you
And kiss you on the cheek goodbye
I give up
It’s only natural
I’ve never seen it before
I’m tired today
Tomorrow is a new old day
I’m bringing in the welcome mat
I’m bringing in the traps
I give up
They wrapped me in gauze
And traveled me through time
Developed my horror
And fed my veins
I give up
It’s a back seat driver
And a live-in maid
A rainy holiday
Virgin flowers and settlements
By the brooks in the land
I give up
My eyes have bags
I’m a skeleton today
My ballad has gone home
I’m left with nothing in my hands
Your wet stringy hair clings to me
And my teeth still fall to the ground
I give up
My birds have died
The cash is done
I’m looking underneath the rabbit holes
And you left me starving
I give up

East to West
I was driving East to West
On Route 202 late Sunday evening
It was 10:30 at night
Cold and rainy out
With a warm settling fog
The fog was low
And covered the street
Crept over the trees hovering over
My pavement path
The ground slick with dew and drizzle
My fog lights did nothing
I would just drift the car down the road
Around the curves and bend
Forming to the fog’s tunnel
Then out of nowhere
And too late to stop
A man appeared in the middle of the road
A shadowed silhouette
From beneath the tree-covered road path
He stood still
I could not make out his eyes nor face
Too late to stop
I attempted to swerve
The car slipped and slid
Straight into the man
I hit
I waited around
For the police to arrive
I went back to the precinct
And talked and questioned
Sweated my palms into the wooden arm chair
Untied my laces and tied again
They knew the conditions
And saw the skid marks
Impounded the car
And photographed the thick scene
Wrote me up and wrote me down
Phone calls here and there
As the rain still sunk down
The police let me go
But I’m due back there later this month
What will I do
And what will I say?
The fog stood in the way
But no chance for him that night
Perhaps none for me
To hit again
