What I tell you three times is true.

 

[freescorfr]

Three times crowing cock: denials deny the truth. Magdalen, maudling, Veronica's bloody rag, we've left behind the signposts on our way - hammartia, the sin - off target, foreboded day completes the prophet's crossword. In the beginning was the word, and was with Susan.

once
two punts
held three sheep
each with four feet
while six friendly forces
led seven harried horses
through the eye of the eighth camel
chosen from nine typical mammals
while ten lofty tropical ostriches
imbibed eleven costly pork sausages
and twelve ornery ocelots, barely alive
asked thirteen haranguing hamsters what happened to five?

 

[sigh]

the spit of a camel
the eye of a cat
the dung of a dog
and the tail of a rat

skip through the universe of color
sail the eons of sound
look to the ages as they uncover their souls
and you'll see brightness

 

[cymbidia]

Soul-color is an illusion performed by the Universal Magician before a gullible and superstition-laden crowd. What you see, baby, is not often what you get but believe...Believe...BELIEVE if that's where your bliss goes a'wanderin'.

 

[sigh]

wandering with my bliss
in a shoulder bag at my side
take it out
shake it off
let it shiver through me every hour or so


then dance dance dance
with a big smile on my face

 

[freescorfr]

Smile a smile of joy
Let love break out like apple blossom
And Kadmos sow his dragon teeth
And let the Spartans reap their crop of motherless men.

Who'd be a Trojan horse in the fifth race at Wetherby?

 

[sigh]

scattering apple blossoms on a breeze of innocence
float them over a deep pool
be that pool
let them ride your breast


trojan ribbed, extra large
my kind of guy

 

[freescorfr]

A guy to sigh for.

Tenderly the breeze of plum petals carresses my inner thighs and moistens the sopranno's whistle. Irises poke wildly at my matrilateral cousin's orchid nape and share out kinship like a birthday cake.

 

[tortoise]

scattering a smattering of nattering nabobs
and so on
and so on
muttering a stuttering of buttery biscuits
to roll on
to roll on
settling a nettling of meddling members
amazon
amazon

 

[Dillinger]

Magic buses and hippopotomuses. Banker's clerks and circle jerks. Amazon women and nude jello swimmin'. Dancing birthday breasts and extra large rests.

 

[Black_Bird]

Son of a bitch, you've done it to me again.
Daughter of a bastard's bastard, you've made me swallow the gun.

I've been so mad lately, I've been too scared
You've got to be kidding, telling me that knives have cared
for me. I've had enough. I've got my needles and artifical pride.

Muscling my smile, turning me down
Making my face into the face of a corpse's clown.
You've jerked off the last dog dick, and now you're it.

I used to play pedal steel guitar and slide didgeridoo in a calypso/spaghetti western/cartoon jazz band with Thomas Pynchon, Marlon Brando, Raymond Scott, and J.D. Salinger. We called ourselves The Pope's Rhinoceros. Perhaps you've heard of us? Our biggest "hit" (it was a top 5 single in United Arab Emirates) was a little number called "Damn the Tornadoes and Pass the Cumin!" We only released one full length album, entitled "Captain Kangaroo is the Patron Saint of All Hopping Creatures."

Ring any bells?

Sweet summer evening of saphire skies and calypso eyes riding bells ringing Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! Sitting with a newt on the root of a banja tree, learning how to be free on the day we die.

Cry, cry, piss and moan over the telephone.

And free Doms taste of unreal tea.

Orange Pekoe drips from carmel nipples and shatters glass dreams.

 

[freescorfr]

Tea time in Chateau d'O, enough Sade, prince's powers, dominions, kneel. Neil, lead bass sings "There ain't no sharks in Benidorm" and encore, bis, with gusto, "Sea urchins in my bum". Prickles in his arse.

 

[perks]

The old Cactus butt plug. No wonder they're so hornery.

 

[freescorfr]

Prickley pears and mellon berries, old as Dead Sea scrolls,
Your cave or mine, the berber shouted over the camel's whine.
While SukiYome, half erect, his futon mat unrolls.
The geisha graps the limid fish and smokes a monkey's balls.

 

[Dillinger]

Horny kneeling cackling asses prick persistently at fresh sea rolls. Sushi geishas unroll hidden delights.

 

[freescorfr]

Kartoum, Great desert city of delights, embattled warriors, Haemorrhoids in kilts and harems, dusty with sahara gales, grant manumit to tribal Egrets tombed in pyramids. Nile perch for lunch.

 

[tortoise]

Cartoon deserts in a cracked orange haze
Hand out the window, snatch the mirage fish
Swimming on the shimmering asphalt waves
If you catch one, you get to make a wish

 

[RainbowBright]

Caarttun colurs and blue glss windw pains
Wve all gatt a lif to live a danse todo nd a voyce
Tsing lick an angle, to breethe candy cooted smyles

 

[sigh]

candy of easter piles to the roof
brightly colored eggs
hard boiled
detective

investigate & scheme & probe

a small lash
a sharp clamp
a muffled high squeal of pain

agonized ecstasy
