May you Pause
May 2020 – So…you show up here terrible now ? New work
2020 Shorts
Slips-
(for Leo Gorcey aka Terence Aloysius ‘Slip’ Mahoney)
-looks if youse guys are gonna sing
Would you mind trying to that in Venison ?
Sure- it might happen
But then it would be anti-climate
You Nose youse guys have gotten
Pretty used to using me as an escape goat
Well from the looks of youse
I would ascertain you’ve been on Gullibles Travels
Terrible now I find dis de-Lama
Rather interplanetary and need
To try and figure out just what
The big de-Lama is
Well-
It’s pretty oblivious
What happened.

This year I was thinking
I just might re-gift
Some of my Rescue dog Poetry
For you-

My Career in Porn
Yes-
Briefly back in the 70s
I was a stunt Dick
Later in life
I did the voice-overs
For when they forgot
Their lines

Behind your Mask
Some days
We look at others
Through ugly eyes
And hear them
In dirty ears.

The Girl from Podunk
-circa 1973
Lucinda
Danced on the horse shoe bar in bare feet
In Mitchell’s that Tuesday night and hiked
Up her black skirt and red petticoat
To mid thigh grinning figure 8s down
At the locals who were going nuts
And she couldn’t buy a drink
For the rest of the evening.
Towards closing time
She picked me out like a face in the crowd
And took me out back
To the waterfront harbor docks
On a splintered stringer straddled me
Locking our eyes she said
While sadly shaking her head
Hovering above with that long black curly hair
Falling on my face like theater curtains
Opening like at the start of a movie about
All the years I had yet to live and understand
just what Lucinda meant by telling me.
No…no…not you…my good man
