>>> 1st NEW POEM I HAVE WRITTEN IN 3 YEARS; NOW YOU MIGHT KNOW WHY <<<
from “The Nine Types of Poets” (sketches)
Nine? There are at least 69 of ‘em
inside,
wanting out,
Warden.
Pay attention, please -
and as you should -
to the ones banging about most loudly
against the cages,
to be sure -
but also, please kind Sir,
take thoughtful, wise care
with the quieter ones;
one helps the other.
Let them out and see what
horrors, and glorious failures, and
attempts at [the current definition of] sanity
will soon follow
like an army.
Damn them torpedoes;
Full speed ahead,
As some writers of verse
Whom lay waste
To their own preconception of themselves
May very well accede.
The poultry and rabid musings of Yeshua Yog-Sothoth and the Unholy Child-Brides of Cthulhu
IN HONOR OF MS. STREEP and IN HORROR OF MARGARET THATCHER, here is an old poem from my personal, mold-infested vault:
Margaret Thatcher Declares An End to War
Then she took a walk around the head; nothing there, went out.
Grabbed a fistful of yen, went ‘round back to Babylon.
Ate a dog, spermed a whale, thrust javelins to Dr. Caligari’s eyes.
Grew tusks! Had one removed at the dentist’s.
Called home, spoke to deceased Father, and Mother;
Inquired of comatose Siamese sister.
‘This contagion,’ she later told doctors, ‘had just given birth.’
She was lying.
