just after th roze bowel game
stood out all nite with angela davis supporters
grunt took out his weiner and peed in front of all of us
then curled up on th ground
police blocked their view of us at th parade
silver helmets shining in th sun
a flag of roses huge
all dust and fallen petals
and so much horseshit
going to zen this AM
kitty at th keyboard
dream on
guy in vets group was a marine occifer
bad back wanted a job in post office
chopper pilot was a chiropractor
got him shaped up an got th po job
chopper pilotchiropractor told th group
his gunners got pissed cuz he told them to stop killing one time
he touched my shoulder at the neck
gave me a terrible crick for days magic man
anger deferred
got called neurotic wimp by the head dude
vet center boss he's dead prostate ca
thompson got called traiter by his congressman
back in th day before he got his soldiers medal
my man there was crazy bob who made the stooges sticker
a bumper crop of lies and loathing
all alive and floating around like th smell of roadkill
and vermin procreating
so much compost
a new green shoot
another breath
plop!
