Long Beady eyed Poems

he unexpectedly, noisily and effectually
exploded out rear...

I can already hear the whispers
Before I open the door
Walking down the corridor
Fluorescent lights beam down
Illuminating, my faults

Upon the first date (decades ago) with the gal,
whose troth aye did pledge allegiance to wed
we agreed to dine at an ex-mex eatery
in north Wales, Pennsylvania, where angels feared to tread

the reservoir that fed the old mill,
became disused.
The water meadow at its head
became a swamp.

The promises fell
as excuses became,
the voice of the man
who is casting the blame
While off on vacation
these moment to share
Informing the masses
he hadn’t a care

who made this design,”
he mumbles and stutters
in televised time

Oy, he has the answers to all!
He is psychiatrist, pollster,
Self-righteous, pompous

Longshanks drainpipe and whistle through the day.
pterodactyls got it easy in this wide-open sky,
they glide too far up to be real anymore.

with a whale on it
smiling above the two lines that mark the waves
and the name of the brand
to erase and be erased 
is written beneath the beady eyed whale.

here you are again
she* told me you'd be back
ruffling my feathers
stifling my dreams
grabbing my legs
as I ready for take-off

Just when I'm feeling strongest
you peek your beady-eyed head 
from behind the velvet curtain

Waiter waiter!

Waiter waiter
Not one swimming

a brown minnow full of brown poop

An old peacock has lost his voice, among the hens
he wanders, his soundless beak a' clacking.

Once he rode the roof of life, once he strutted
across its gaming board, a tyrant lover,
a beady-eyed frightener to all...

two small, cute, fluffy poodles he had bought?

the DNA of any dog they lacked.

Do you know what really...
