Romanian Constntin Brancusi
indifferent to fame was he
Simpicity permeted his art
'Bird in Space' gave him is start...

a musical trio
livening up the prairie
enthusiastic beatnik dog on bongo drums
terrifically talented tambourine-playing Tomcat
Romanian beauty with flashing eyes with a ukulele
people arrive to sing along and dance
it feels like the seventies
Woodstock sixty years later...

Prostitution 

I never liked horses, 
oh yes, they are beautiful 
and dumb
and crap in their food
on the grassland of forever.
Horses are like Romanian women,
you catch them, rape them 
and tamed you sell them 
in Hamburg as tame whores, 
who can be ridden by any man 
for a bit of cash.
And all the owners of horses have
to do is to serve them weed....

~ SPEAKING RUSSIAN'S A PAIN ~

Shmendrick's a lazy student from Ukraine
He thinks that speaking Russian is a pain --
   He'll speak Ukrainian
   Even Romanian -- 
Russian grammar takes a disciplined brain



                   PTSD

They say that post-traumatic stress disorder
Is a condition that knows no borders --
   You might get it in war
   Or wherever you are --
But a shrink only the rich can afford...

Butterfly girl greets the quiet wren in a field of corn
Where yellow and light green vegetation is often born
Far off they hear an accordion and a Romanian horn.
Melodies are terrific says a dwarf who arrived this morn.

Soft-spoken wren opens up his beak to sing a song.
It is exactly short enough, not too brief or too long.
Your voice is delicious says the girl named Lee Armstrong.
With that kind of warbling, how can you go wrong?...

How lovely the morning is,
pervaded by the silence of loneliness,
as sleepy green and red dragons fly in circles
around lost feelings.
Next to me on an old couch,
God watches a movie with clowns.
I play chess, and it is naked
all around the queen, that
dirty
dirty
queen,
who reads the lines in my palm,
speaking lies about my dearest stars.
Beside me,
my cup of Romanian coffee is still hot,
while I wait
for the green and red dragons
to dissipate....

Nadia Comaneci 
Gymnastic Queen
Olympic starlet
Romania's dream
 
Montreal summer
As this young girl bloomed
Three Gold Medals
Young boys swooned
 
Moscow 1980
Another two Golds won
For this Romanian girl
The darling one
 
America bound via Montreal
This young gymnast stool so tall
Her dance routines, amazing and hip
From her somersaults, to her back flips
 
She was one of my idols
When i was in my teens
Her Perfect 10
Has to be seen
 
" Dedicated to Nadia Comaneci "...
