Some officious member of the bank Spotted dreary as she passed the tank His whole life Her last night Dreary wiped a tear across her eye For such a tough girl she sure did cry Her whole life Her last night Dreary think it over, this time All too polite, She raised up her arms and released it All the while Breaking her legs just to meet me Dreary think it over this time As she made her way out of the bank To see a sea of Turin’s finest steady their aim With one shot Her last night Dreary think it over, this time.

Is this the right tie? I’ve got to look so good tonight. I’m meeting the ambassador’s friends Are my teeth white? It’s got to be the perfect night. I’m meeting her mysobic friends I think I’ll wear the ostrich skin instead. We’re set to meet at ten. Lets go I’ve got your medicine My you’re looking thin. How do you do it? One time is all that it takes. Which is the right wine? If I choose wrong I’ll be crucified. We’ll have the Chateau Lafitte ‘88 What a year for Bordeaux!

“Clearly its evident,” she uttered into the machine “Amateur journalists of late seem to lack discipline” A frightening trend she thought as she wiped her glasses clean Retiring another vodka drink with diligence Aperitifs arrive transporting poisons to our tickled sides She waived the waiter by and asked him to view an old photo of mine “Would you have known that this man’s words would inspire millions?” the conversation was dry but for the first interview in years it was fine. “In the beginning it was easy it just poured out of me I had this place near ishikawa that I shared with Jii. Id spend my morning in the trellis writing over tea. It was Jii’s profound love of the flower that inspired Reed.” “Postcards From Out of Town, your third novel, made waves the whole world round” She placed her notebook down and without asking called for another round “Were you surprised?” she said searching for something in my eyes. “To be so we’ll received by Europeans after malady?” “Well as you know the Europeans are quite dear to me, but to be honest those review meant so little you see, I believe an artist when he’s looking, he can’t really see. So I keep my eyes closed tight and all my fingers on the keys.” This was the last exchange for only moments later an anxious waiter screamed “It’s out of love my brothers that I give my life and deliver each of us but for you ungrateful sinners this was your last dinner and the last chance to make peace. for all of your worldly pleasures, and unholy leisures I pray god grants forgiveness NOW! Postcards from out of town inform me your condition remains sound. A line read world round. As ashes blow through windows all over town. Ooooooooo. Oooooooo

From Aspic To Zoo

He swam across the channel Parasols extended high above his head Cautious of the animals Who had reason to believe They all had right to feed Upon his failing legs July fifth for all God’s people A summer death for Robert Cleveland Laid to rest in Amphitritie’s arms Blanket church bell laughter ringing Starting children’s choirs singing Little tenors singing from the heart. We will part but I’ll always keep you close to my heart Blindly sunshine beaming on a slightly greening garden past the car A quiet summer evening Gently being drowned by a thousand worker’s sounds In the sweetest labor Keeping bees was just a hobby Although the honey was good for his body A lonely life but it helped sustain his art Although the bees won’t be receiving Further keeping from Mr. Cleveland They’ll continue each to do their part We will part but I‘ll always keep you close to my heart Everyday people returning back to that from which they came Understand things couldn’t be any other way A summer’s night contently sinking through the deep without a fight Doing his part helping nature restore order through its art.

Dated 11/19/02. I’d gathered the post by nine. I sat down to read it, Curiously bent on taking its contents to mind. I shuddered when the kettle spoke. It read like a novel of uncertain intent. A gentleman’s cursive for sure It told about the winds and pressures of our atmosphere It was sent by a man of science

Beets For Bombs

Exploding in the air Exploding everywhere. Beets in the air With powers of unseemly strength Shaking bedposts and cracking sinks Falling from the ceiling. Crashing through the floor. Beats for every season, Beets for the whole fantastic world Exploding in the air Exploding everywhere Beats in the air With powers of unseemly strength Shaking asses No regard for country

From office chairs and chartered flights Behind our desk’s day and night All winning small victories On fishing boats and playing fields With single strokes and daily builds All winning small victories Ooo. In hotel bars and future cars In factories and aging streets All of us winning small victories But like all of those who came before These battles will not win the war All of us leading these vacant lives.

How have you made out? Was it everything you’d hoped? I noticed when you left You left something behind Did it lack that lustrous shine? I’m surprised it outlasted the season Still I see you’ve found a reason to move on What’s wrong? Was it not everything you’d imagined? When will learn that this idea of grow or perish can harm? The larger we build it the sooner we realize our resources are gone Graffiti voices demonstrate a cause for alarm The wiser heed warnings I’m surprised it outlasted the season Still I see you’ve found a reason to move on Ou non, attend Under red umbrellas I’ve been told my skin looks brighter
