See how they get "better" and more "poetic"?

It's called "progress" and it's "real".
As ballast we used a word hitched to the protectorate
And hoisted high that fancy cannon which shot glee forth
Like sugared butter from its frothy mouth-

And set out, with politicians fueling the balloon,
A lily-encrusted chamber pot primed for action,
And promptly we hid in the clouds.

Accumulating in the cottoned bushes we spoke of
Vietnam and Antietam
While taxpayers threw grizzly scalped mullets
And frayed propaganda pamphlets at us,
Upsetting the pollsters and causing the first ladies to weep.

There in the clouds, we, the king-makers, the rain bringers,
Jockeyed for position, who best to man the binoculars looking
Down into George Clooney's perfumery? Who best to beset
Their speech-writers on the tribulations of this nation's great tributaries?
And who best to pull the puds of the gas-spouters rigged to the foremast
And triggered to the jerk-knee bone of society?

As our self-adulation grew exponential in the mist our lookouts
Became embroiled in the debate of who was the greatest syphillis dodger
Amongst us and we lost sight of all that is grand and guignoly, namely
The Blackened Hand of God slashing down from on high to twist
Our sails into anchors and plummet us into the waiting fray
Which pounced like maggots on rotting meat, rending, masticating, rending.

And here we sit, immortal and molecular, the pure food of those who
Just so recently
Allowed us to ride on their broken backs
Into the sunset backdrop of our choosing,
So recently turned on us, so unappealable, so unsatiable,
They chaw right through us so ignominiously, us, us nobility.

Work Day

A piece of monkey meat
Slipped from her lips
Into the vat of baby food
As the metal walls
Reverberated with the
Sound of the gigantic
Banana peeling itself into
The shape of a skeleton.

The foreman nodded and
Checked the appropriate box
With his double penis.

Abortion

A Christian wind flustles
up and snatches away the
paper this poem is being
wri
I couldn't pull myself away
From the enchanted toilet
That kept magically flushing and filling
With blood from the hospital
Next door
Even though
The siamese mime
Waltzed nearby
Screaming the flesh
Off of the transgendered
Priest with no bones

A Nice Poem

Try as he might
the trapdoor in the sandbox
wouldn't open
as he swung gustily from the rope beneath
the children played noisily above
farting and giggling
at the balloon vendor
near the pond.
Is he coming?
We wondered
as the barometer
fell and our hopes
turned to sweat
and the blinds began
to spin towards our parched veins
and blood shot from
our pores
across the room
onto the canvas
stretched there for this very purpose.
If there's not enough nakedness
I start to get itchy
And will grab at a malewoman
Until they scream their clothes off
As midgets wrestle with dogs' penises
The wind sprickles liquid nits on our faces
I shyly grab at your neck
And lovingly clamp your hands behind your back

The freckles on your cheek turn pale, then green
As I suck each one in turn like seeds
From a watermelon
The midgets drop their dicks in the rushing water, slowly

Turning their vivid midget eyes to us
As I wind my tongue around your head
And rest my feet with a tender caress
On your breasts
And recite the writings of William F. Buckley Jr.

To you until you cry.
The late afternoon sun
Ah, fuck it, it was dreary
Will you turn to face it
Like a depressed seedling
Wiggling slowly through trashheaps
And puke to reach for a poisioned pen
And scratch your mark on the winding eyes
Of the Dancing Dying?

Manifesto

To destory the normelle ideas of poetry

NOT

Because there is ennything WRONG with poetry

BUT

Because there is nothing WRITE with pottery.

There's your motherfucking poem, asshole.
