poem: culling

 Far fucking out the United States is polymorphous.   What might have been an inclusive, broad minded and humane two party system, Dems and GOPs, has wormed shape and form, weight and viscosity.   If the country was a person, it would be the Elephant Man.   With a complex of mental problems.  And no ability to strategize.  People became exclusively one dimensional paper cutouts.   


 Liberal Democrats morphed into wealthy oligarchs, politicians stock traders, lawyers, and fuck whatever else shitty people become as they get rich and powerful.     The GOP was already like that.   I could ralf.  Thanks for reading.

Poem: Clamming Up For Everything


 

Clamming Up For Everything


I

mouse on cotton

traipse the rug

eleventh floor

noiseless the way wire coils drink undertones

when insulated


quiet musicians are mice on cotton

quiet boors on thorazine neglect to obstruct performance

the relatively sane free market

is allowed to gavotte to the right of bankruptcy  

here comes a flat top and there's money in it


Soon people go broke and despair

they get loud

not like a mouse on cotton

or a boor on hypnotic drugs

they squawk like chickens

 Oooh-weee baby, lets talk medicine.   Ear infection.  I know.   Call a doctor, you stupid moron, I suspect people are thinking, but I was concerned about what it might cost to get professional help.  My ear hurt.  I was getting a wee bit of what I fucking hope was blood on the end of a cotton swab when I tried to clean out what is probably an infected ear canal, like the Russians invaded by submarine through a subversive capillary.   I felt concern and discomfort.  I pondered what to do, then was edified from within and googled the sentence "is it safe to shove antibiotic cream in your ear if you think it's infected?"

I want in the worst way to share the tiny joys that bliss my dreary fourth quarter existence, retired, what ever else shit existentialism pervades.   In seconds the answer unscrambled a kind loving radiant big breasted, "Yes, it is safe to use antibiotic cream to treat your cheapskate loser medical problem.  Assholes everywhere, ones too cheap and unsuccessful  to see a professional, get lovely results by squirting budget brand cream in their ear.  Stick the nozzle in deep, motherfucker!"

So great to receive affirmation!  I unpackaged the dollar store generic tube of fester shit.   Shoved the nozzle in up to the hilt, like it was John C Holmes,   and squeezed the healing ooze right where it it was wanted, in that goddam pustule, a festered zit with the temerity to lodge itself in my beautiful inner ear.   Fuck that jive ass bullshit.   I am in recovery.

No shit, this is the zillionth time a product I bought at a dollar store fixed a medical problem.   Call this weenie wagging, I like to remind the medical establishment, where possible, that common stupid peons have managed without the help of greedy health care conglomerates.   I can follow simple instructions, like shove antibiotic shit in your ear, and sleep off whatever else happened.   Thanks for reading.

Sink holes are breaking open all over the place.  They're huge and deep.   It's like making love to a forty year old prostitute.  You have to tie a board to your ass sideways to keep from falling in.
