Call Me Gonzo
For thoose of you who may not know.
Just call me gonzo I write the absurd for life is insane and sometimes 
it takes a madman to speak the truth so very clear.

I write for the broken vacant faces that have lost all hope.
To the dreamer...

A Word From Gonzo
Atlantic city had been a haze of slot machines and watred down drinks and loud nightclubs
that often  remendedme what disney land  could have been ifthatdam mouse wasntallowed

Never trust a talking rat.

A Bit of Gonzo
That's not my elephant!
The man  dressed like a modern day hammlet or Lady Ga Ga screamed 
in his best Justin Biber voice once told me one thing.

It was a good time to make my escape.
Spaghetti night wasnt my trip at Shady Pines mental home.

Gonzo Traditions
A true Walden pond,
Slashed roads that break beyond.
We light a Philly XL;
Cut and filled with ganja and ale.

Lack of concern,
No pity and no pain.

If I had the style of Gotti mixed
With the drive of Capone, left alone
To simmer with Lanskey, I'd be
The newest of new in the melting pot.
You either got it...

Gonzo Is My Life Not Just My Name
Ten warents fifteen DUI's one 311.
Just some good laughs from nights out with the guy's
Drinking till you kiss the floor.

Sweet as peach with a jaded rotten core.
Best friend to none and  in a eternal romance with the liquer
store.

A siren's call sounds like my phone.
It's...

Gonzo Poetry
I had run out of it i'm out of it
mind you my mind that ran away
first by feet then by train
paxil was her name a rotundish
hard skinned pink pill of a pimp
so sleeping a tossing flipping
dreaming dream i witnessed a mess
messing up a dream:

this slot...

Premium Member GONZO STATION, Gulf of Oman, Northern Zone, 1980
It had something to do with American hostages in Iran was all I knew.
Some political complication that required a showing of the flag.
But Iran had been our ally? I’d seen their sailors train at our base,
And their uniforms looked even nicer than ours.
Now they were...
