A turkey stuffed with wooden chandeliers

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:52:00 -0500

Praise Old Dirty Bastard as an Eskimo

in an igloo awaiting the next morning

when he will be put on a raft

and pushed away to die.

He is smoking crystal meth, a lot of it,

he bought from a peddler just around the corner

in Alaska. There’s no crack, this up north.

Praise ODB as a cockroach, standing in front

of his condo’s apartment door without

knocking, waiting for the door to open by itself.

ODB as a cockroach says,

“I’m a turkey of carved fillings,

stuffed of wood chandeliers.

Pieces of metal in my stuffing

makes pain when you vomit me.”

ODB truly wants to be a dolphin

tattooed on the hip bone of a seventeen

year-old dirty-blond in Miami.

Praise ODB suffering the

to-America disease of migration.

In a plane headed to California

a Philippine hooker, in the half-distance

between Quezon City to L.A.,

combusts and is now an

idolized college football player.

ODB himself was once a

four-foot-five Catholic school girl

with ceramic skin and dead-lace black

hair, brown marble eyes.

She flew in from outer-space,

and before her shuttle broke into

the Atlantic Ocean, she phased

into ODB and the Brooklyn Zoo.

It was because she became so many

that they survived and attained

America. That dirty-blond in Miami

is in love with someone who

pushes him away. In his depression,

he pushes away another person

who’s in love with him.

ODB, the morning he is pushed off into sea,

cries, not because he will soon die,

not because he will die alone,

but because he’s out of crystal meth.

Still hungry

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:46:41 -0500

Two lost dogs looking for food.

Days without sanctuary,

the dogs are hungry and sniff the ground as they tread.

They think their days requicital.

The air is cold.

In a park they find a box of left-over fried chicken

and do not share. They hoot

and show their mandibles.

They are bored with their lives.

As they clasp from each other pieces of chicken,

the building creates slanted shadows.

Cars sever through the gargantuan shades.

The traffic light changes are instinct to the dogs.

In the end neither is fulfilled. Both are still hungry.

Poems written on hats

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:23:00 -0400

These are what I remember of two poems I wrote onto blank hats and which I drew pictures on as well. This transcription may be inaccurate. I have an affected memory.

I gave away these hats during the St. Dad show at Orlando, at the Magic & the Johnsons last show.

(1)

A haggard, shirtless man

kisses the palm of a blond

because she’s going to buy him a whopper.

I ask him to tell her that I want to

bite off her pointing finger.

He tells me he wants to lick

her asshole.

Him and her, that’s you and me.

(2)

At the tutoring lab I was refreshed

on radicals because the math-tutor

was out of town. I was helping a

poor student and at one point got

stuck and thought about what would

happen if I called and asked you

to foil me in plastic and freeze me in

your kitchen.

You wouldn’t pick up.

Ignore your thoughts of her.

Nada fue real.

You are confused and that pain in your chest

is a figment; ignore it.
