Best Tuna Poems

why is it easier to look at you

cannot go on this way

cherry wood furniture...

i happen to be the owner of some troubled tuna 
always drinking and doing drugs
sometimes they get desperate and try to smoke bugs
there the troubled tuna they can't break the habit
i'm more proud of my pet rabbit

Scented ember a moulted smoulder
Skied as crackling softness 
Spied and felt thru a film of dexterity
Uncalibrated, solvent, translucid
Trance and dance

Street fleet, guttering inhabited by creased indoctrination
Yet to be ironed
Yet to be pressed and left on the stoop
Cornered like bluefin, fed, foddered and canned
'Til the ink...

the clever ones are tightening nets
'round the neck of the masses 
who
swim in the mist of
overconfidence
under a flimsy umbrella called faith  

but the blood net is closing fast
soon the masses will panic   
thrashing into one another

Can of tuna,
All I got...
Nothing else to eat...
Seems I forgot a detail
Which lead to my defeat
For no can opener had I
And this was no pop off top
I started beating it with a hammer,
Till a neighbor called a cop...

He dragged me off to jail,
And wouldn't let...

His fur smelled of dust;
And cobwebs that covered his face
He found me to show me his new look
That he had gone and made.

I started laughing, 
He wasn't happy.

He charged me like a raging lion;
He was being comical, he's robust
I was laughing so hard, I was...
