Shattering eyelash robots
Cracking all the hallway sides-
Hot coffee, open up,
Tell us all your whys.
Splattering dog windows
Bark their own ways home-
I stand in melting glory
The cheese to your bone.

Will you turn over the mac
with the cheese?
Cheap shots make comedic disease.
Dennis Miller,
You were a funny young jerk.
Not so impressive,
When you get old with your work.

Loose Cannons at De Femio's, 1997

From behind ziti quizzical looks emerged;
Manos is a star,
Yonkers raises the bar,
The Loose Cannons laugh machines splurged.

Efforting

Not tonight, it's all up in my head,
Telling you to curl up with a dreamy book instead,
Turn off the loopy fuzz, break out those tarot cards...
My internet pen pals will gamble on my association with smelly bards,
Who love to date rainy graveyards and howl at the sun,
Leaving Dirty Aunts and Uncles to fumble with the gun.
My association with smelly songbirds and song smiths and lyric shepherds,
A circus tent, hyenas, with true confessions, you theatrical leopards.

David Paip on the Fire Escape

2008-03-06T00:00:00.003-05:00

Relax? More like rage-
Stank universe won't get off the stage.
Yelp out y'mathematics, addition by subtraction, now you're addicts;
In the attic, dress up like the Big Bad Wolf,
Hurtle through the ceiling trap door,
George and Virginia feinting; leave that - proof kneaded before;
I know you counted on mis-connects
unfocused Fridays
but that went sideways,
Revisited plans and outcomes got the best of hideaways.
You thought thought was skinny, the sgraggly drumming of David Paip,
not, bless urchins, keeping time with the fire escape.
But you miscalculated, the route now messed up,
Better back to that collection,
your trucks is hessed up.

I Call Them The Adam Winds

2008-03-05T23:50:00.002-05:00

So many windows competing,
He wanders and tries them all.
He rests at one, not a particular one,
And has a stopover...seeking out past his stare reflected in the glass.
"What are you thinking about?" she reminds him of the now.
From the nearby that little beat-up Aiwa player continues the far-away whispers in his head.
The maybe part of him runs over the distant hill and disappears.

"I call them the Adam Winds," he answered.
Sometimes prairie, sometimes Santa Anna, all-times longing.

A Tree! A Tree!
Charming Douglas-Fir,
I hoisted you 10 blocks,
Past laughing associates,
You ruthless cur;
I handled you up steps, five flights and paparazzi,
I drew a line in the middle of the room --
It separated us flatmates, like episodes de Ralph Malph y Potsie.
Yet, I'm so glad you're here, I am gratified by your presence,
Now let me go check on Julie,
She's having problems with tomorrow's lessons....

the process was there all along, you just needed to dissect most of these moves:
a self-created board game is never just a leisurely pastime-
they sneak up escalators,
they meet in the middle of football fields,
the spies do not love me,
but i love the espionage.

I Think We Did

2007-11-02T00:00:00.000-04:00

Discomfort persisted, so I removed the lens,
I'd like to tell you about one of my best friends:

Depression seeping, so leave the toxic spill,
I think we did get out of the house,
Ran over the Siwanoy hill.

I guess an unexpected sharp pain
will be looked at.

Spots, tricks, sycophants and debutantes,
A map of ----, but that's a lot to scoff at--
I trained my imagination,
But it just dosi-doed to all that.

I guess an unexpected sharp pain
will be looked at.

Broken jewel case_____

2007-11-01T23:47:00.000-04:00

Don't leave the goblin alone,

I worried myself til i ate a Toblerone.
I took an auto to Seamless,
But I was not the one driving, it was at the CFO's behest.
We threw cashews and
____joked liked it was _______the Santa Monica Promenade.
I'm in the back fixing the car, oh, no, I want to, oh, no, I'm Murad,
I have the means and the most.

Restrained duck confit on post,
I'm sleepy when does my relief arrive?
This tower will make me fall over.
I imagine light bulbs in the shadows.
I left the goblin..............alone.

In The Grimmest of Clarks

2007-11-01T23:40:00.000-04:00

/// and though we hobbled out past the garbage;
right where the Marxist Party went "Boo!"
out over past blondie renegade,
and that dude hawking shares of Gatorade, you-
You- know, i think - i know, i think
I am
I think--
I will go lampooning my winterself
In a cascaded shining of summerself.
you left - i mean - keeblered the crooked elf.
I lamp in the moon
Of my winterself.

Yeah Yeah

Seems someone else sent a trick, too- who?- tooo--
From Alaskan bosses you only thought you - who?- knew, yeah, yooooo!

Ralph L. Spotts, swimming in Pelham microfiche,
We fished you out of the water.
We cooked you in high-heavenly regurgitated Dead Poet Poeciety,
On the Grand Concourse, or was it Corona Avenue?
You did not ask for this,
But we trapped your obscure glory like an abandoned lightning bug.

Cryptic Envelope

2007-09-17T23:48:00.000-04:00

Of course, it was bound to happen,
So my cranky mailbox allowed me this cryptic envelope.
Sent by a jokester of old.
La Sociedad del Circulo Peligroso - my old group - echoing mystery decades later....

Not Realizing Until Now

2007-08-21T23:48:00.000-04:00

My time away from work has really cleared my head,
I went to a coupla ballgames,
I drank Becks with Lisa and Fred.
This past week and a half has really fed my soul,
I read some David Sedaris,
In Quogue I pointed out a shoal.

Everyone seemed refreshed to see me,
Catching up with loved ones is a blast,
Lonnie hosted a pesto-off,
Did you know that Joey Welcome's writing a biopic about Howard Fast?

I have to admit
I'm building a facade.
I could cry all the way to Prague,
Going the whole summer without "Phil The Magazine" has put me in a fog.
I mean, do we know anything about that new Del Mar tenant?
Can you guarantee The Bosox will win the pennant?
Where's scenic Rhode Island in its lovely photographed display?
And a Photoshopped Phil with a cigar on the Leaning Tower of Pisa--
Is there anything left to say???????

Dear FK

2007-08-21T23:32:00.000-04:00

I'm scanning in all the photos of You Before The Acquisition.
Your smile is easy and your posture rolls like pastoral hills.
I could depict your surreal impression and have the Patron off my back for a month at least,
That's how good it'd be.
Problem is - now there has been The Acquisition and you're not like that anymore,
And my easel isn't that easy and I don't want to paint somebody from before,
I would like to render the now, Frau Kow.

Preparing The Email

2007-08-03T17:44:00.001-04:00

The Suits are full of teeth gnawing at their nothing,
Hands to the vapid fire, burping, and telling their little tales to each other.
Meanwhile, I'm frenzied, I sweat and groan their project into some sort of sense.
How they cooked this up, I'll never know;
I wish they'd tested the concept more thoroughly or asked someone who can cross the street and welcome a stranger or function outside of a Suit.

Our Old Place

2007-08-03T17:38:00.000-04:00

Peeling letters of my thoughts behind the envelope,
I don't feel like I'm driving,
But stop signs are attended to and the sky
Still swirls your favorite blue.
I rehearse my past, right blinker, then under the bridge,
Past the train station, down this longish residential road.
My smile waves to the policeman and I hope he doesn't notice my overdue inspection sticker.
Floating, billowing -- this road, I used to use it so often.
I abandoned you, and yet somehow you are fine, maybe even improved.
I park, cross the street, and look to go inside our old place.

Unmarked Deli

2007-08-03T01:30:00.000-04:00

now they don't wait my table;
they let me scribble like a local celebrity
and do my own dishes like an often madman.
my eyes extend friendship,
my ears hear everything,
my hair extends to your laptop 2000 miles away
poofed out like a handball fan afraid to watch but prays.

sun up, your doner kebab is finished,
no girls left for flirting,
no brew left to cuss,
no jokes left to sparkle,
get your neck home.

But now I triceratops over your dinosaur muffin tin
The vacation is over and you know the shape I'm in
The shape I want to be in, plus (ring,ring,ring,ring) The shape______
That I'm looking TO;
I'm looking at the broken brick by the pool.
Throw it to me, I'll tread water til you're cool.

Does He Eat Lunch?

2007-07-18T00:40:00.000-04:00

Up past the Lake of Willow Park,
I took my lipstick spy camera.

Past the potted pink azalea, Stringy strode,
In the cluster of his node,
By that I mean the kitchen where he writes his elegies.

Stringy hummed until he tripped
On that curmudgeonly tile in his kitch;
The potted azalea somewhat looking on...
My lipstick spy camera beeped,
"This is where I belong."

Stringy of Up Past Willow Park Lake,
Fixed himself lunch,
Yes, a turkey Swiss cake,
And nibbled only a little bit on this wonder.
Now Skinny boy, My Spy Camera sensed over-the-mountain thunder,
Crackling, Stringy checked his beard and began to wonder.

There must be a motion -somewhere- your mind thirsts for commotion...

But this week you're the one laughing--
A vacation in Virginia Beach
With a found $100 bill!

Disconnected Worlds, Then Mr. Ore_i_e

2007-07-06T01:03:00.000-04:00

Rain pouring down, you Flatbush clown,
Franny's waitstaff tidying up,
Then down goes the glorious metal cage.
EyePatch has left 7th Ave for the night,
Ex-Chocolate Monkey patrons outside half-heartedly check text messages,
My pal at Korean Grocer,
Rain pouring down, smiles into the night
And pretends time doesn't make him suffer out loud.

2,000 sonnets away, the Late Great Johnny Ace
Dreams of the Spring Musical.

I will go along for the ride.

my thanks to Frankie Phonecall
skyhook my repeating and scoring

my kitchen, my garage
i decline to be centered
my thankfulness remains the constant now that everything's changing

on my winning way
long since garbage
i decline to be centered

i help hold a flashlight here in the garage
while you fix my battery
i recline now that i'm centered
by these metal cabinets I keep for Lew Alcindor
repeating your scoring

Olive Oil Hair Billboard Lady

2007-06-19T00:28:00.000-04:00

Olive Oil Hair Billboard Lady,
You brought green to my empty sky 3 and a half weeks ago.
Now the Burrito Kitchen has a friend,
Now the Center can have its head scratched.
Olive Oil Hair Billboard Lady,
You are kind when I miss a belt loop,
Or trip on the uneven pavement.
I know one day you'll go away,
Olive Oil Hair Billboard Lady,
And Some Airline Coaxing will assume your place,
Or Various Sundries and Coats Department will pierogi
Where you merely, gracefully noodled.

John Rathjens

2007-06-05T00:17:00.000-04:00

Who is that lazy drink of water,
Always lurking by Robin?
Does he fancy himself Golden Boy of Broad Street?

Weeks later, we all knew better--
John Rathjens is cooler than Eddie Vedder.
After goblets of They Might Be Giants
And boxed sets of mischief
(And perhaps getting Magic Nick down out of the rafters)
John, you were the one who brought the best disasters.

Happy Birthday.

trouble

2007-06-04T23:58:00.000-04:00

honestly, appears you went 9 to 5 now,
slide down the chimney
that's all behind you
don't think those screaming kids will look to find you.

Oceans 15

2007-05-30T23:50:00.000-04:00

Oceans 15 will have all the rejects-
Instead of pilfering cashola,
Wistfully, they just write checks;
And donning their remembered and venerable tweed
They run to penance with the Pastor,
Spilling dirt on spilt seed.
After 30 Hail Marys and a traveler's check to the B&B innkeeper
Oceans 15ers all agree-
This one's a sleeper!

Interrupt This Patch At Will

2007-05-30T23:42:00.001-04:00

Green thumbs, egg hands,
Coax the mystery to other lands-
What is left
But take to it once again?
The only thing I left there in your hands.

Like my father, before me,
And like those kids that tried to explore me-
Mother Earth
Takes it once again.
Mother Earth
She is a good
Only friend.
Leave your secrets browning in my tan.

D,
J,
Even E & H,
Hold the two sides tight.
I'll screw -
what do you call that-
the ganger, the joining plate,
n make those bookcases go!
Will you find me another screw like that, D,
Motherfu- I shoulda put another 10 minutes on there--
50 and I shut it off.

A prelude - well, not even
an event to itself
Summer togetherness.

Across From Franny's

2007-05-23T23:57:00.000-04:00

The verdict's in:
The Golden Delicatessen lets 2 beautiful kittens
Levitate Flatbush hearts.
They jump in flurries of discovery -
Over Wonder Bread baskets, under Puppy Chow shelves.
Two twisting in baby fever.
Soon they'll grow up and slay rats.

Lake People and Precious Pumping

2007-05-23T23:52:00.000-04:00

This gymnasium of morons-
Dragging nameless thoughts til they bump into something.
Here's to not looking at me like that!
Wake the fuck up!
Whatever medicine they gave you doesn't work THAT well.
Climb off that rock!
Yes, there's only limited room.
Yes, I already was considerate of you.
545 times already today.

Earth Science & Spenser's Faerie Queene Characterzzz

2007-05-23T23:43:00.000-04:00

You didn't tip your hat-
You just showed up to the Regents Test
In Coughlin bright orange braggadocio.

In his newly-brushed victim blazer,
He bit his tongue
And added his own ingredients to the saucepan;
Not making a big show, but filling out this
Small town serving of humility.

So Many Odes To Spring

2007-04-03T11:11:00.000-04:00

Free the latch-key kids,
Let them run through the side streets
And knock over garbage pail lids.
You maturish ones, collect friends and
Make floral, pleasingly aural vids.
The fragrant hour is chiming.

223 Short Kid Exchange Place

2007-03-16T12:53:00.000-04:00

So "The L Word" comes on, therefore Movie Night At Heather's has about reached the time of "over for Jimbo". I head downstairs 223 and think - damn, it's cold, I should call Castle - which I do.
They'll be 10 minutes, so I'm waiting in the front doorway, witnessing the snow's vague spackle of the across the street church.
Suddenly I alternatively think of it as a 12:15 am school night once the sound of 2 kids jumps down the stairs towards my waiting location.
It's mostly muffled sounds of bragging.
The younger kid, maybe 10 and 3 ft. tall, emerges by my door. I help him get through it with his bike. He shouts back to his friend, "Ok about that downtown thing, but there're too many boys and i don't hop in no group." He hesitates, then continues outside, firmly closes the door, only to ring the buzzer, then yelling past my ear, urging his taller friend to bring the sweater and, you know, discuss matters further.

Spiny paperback

Spiny paperback
Blue room mourning
Sarah clearing out
Sure was our warning
I will take you along, but we're not back awhile
You can come along, but please, we're not back awhile.
Spiny paperback
Peeks out at morning
Finishing this hill
Sure is boring
But we will be there soon - in the refreshing moon.

Wires, wires, wires

2007-03-07T15:09:00.000-05:00

Let the wires snake around behind the desk
The dust surely will get them yet
Let them speak to all the wires 'round the world
Let the electric transfer signal dots all become girls.
When the current makes it over to the pretty part of Mumbai
Or if that computer heat spackles Zagreb on the dot
Let the monkey-wrenching nodes and ports
Brand nebbishly their unfunny cohorts
Let the wires snake around behind the world.

Utica Thanksgiving

2007-03-05T14:51:00.000-05:00

In those famous Utica nights-
Friends and family gathered for the holiday;
Oakley and Patrick dominating the television;
Who did help Grampa carve the turkey?
Was it Cousin Ron, Chopin at large,
or was it you, with your teasing-thought-for-the-day smirk?
I'll bet it was you,
Grampa laughing at a near miss,
Relatives eyeing the cranberry,
And poor Ron fumbling his way back to the piano.

Where My Good Friends Are

2007-02-27T18:43:00.000-05:00

"Where My Good Friends Are"
by G.Rice and J.Nolan

i made my name (yodalady yodalady)
i made my name (yodalady yodalady) from a painting frame
now who's to blame? that my name is james
i come from the land where they swim the Thames
now i'm in this silver car (yodalady yodalady)
and i'm speeding far (yodalady yodalady)
going to go where all my good friends are....

where my good friends are
where my good friends are
where the smell of greasy napkins fills my rental car
We'll mess around and dress up just like Jamie Farr
dressed like Terry Garr
where my good friends are

Where mi good friends stay
Could be a hole full of hay
'd be deviant, straight or gay
Where mi good friends stay
Could be full of kimchi
Or a baby Penelope
Could be the sunny side
Or all up in some tour guide
Where mi good friends stay
Where mi good friends stay

In my good friends' places
are gathered all their faces
and by their drunken graces
I am put through my paces
In my good friends' digs
we dine on wine and figs
on velvet pillow chairs
we slide sans underwears
In my good friends' digs.

2007-02-12T02:11:00.000-05:00

i don't even know what to tell you-
but, i met you today and you were smiling all the way across the room
i don't know what to mention-
except that you are probably the most beautiful person i have ever seen
if i knew you better i would mention more,
i would go on and on with laughter and giant thoughts,
but i don't know you, really-
and you are my favorite mirage.

2007-02-11T23:11:00.000-05:00

dead red footsteps
walk across my nightmare
back into my sleep remote control
dead red

red and dead the boxes pile up
and there's a scary knock at the door
but nobody's
ever
there

no, no.no...no

Unexpected Presents End Up On 13th Street

2007-02-09T16:42:00.000-05:00

Some command legions,
Some make the holes for Swiss cheese,
Occasionally somebody fills their whole life with music-
Songs about heartache and socks and phone calls;
So when Zed sent us all of his music, every minuscule mp3,
In that container of his from China,
Well I'll tell ya, all of 223 just rejoiced until Movie Night went 10 Times Over!
I mean how did he obtain so much music? And how did he know that THAT was exactly what we needed?
Man, what a present -
That musical container of his from China.

Back At Club 23

2007-02-09T16:29:00.000-05:00

Well, they'd been bugging me a long time to return,
So we did,
For 5 minutes I think,
Long enough to vacuum in all of the silence
And pretend to understand the staring cocktail waitresses.

A warm shot to our names in the marquis,
A fly-in-the-wall look around,
And before you could lay a toothpick in your mouth,
Uli had smashed her 5 year old viola.

I guess then we were laughing out on the street, meandering toward the Ditmars stop.

Office Answering Machine

2007-02-09T16:21:00.000-05:00

"Yes, hello, this is Meggie,
I can't make it in today-
My arms hurt and I have the sniffles.
Hopefully I will recover for tomorrow."

Climate change, sniffles, excuses,
The little pony crapped its pants
The sun went down un-enhanced
The cables sit in a box in a suburban closet
The frog looks shot, but still won't get out of the intersection.

Sniffles, excuses, drafty doors
The little lie's coming out of your pores.

Charging

2007-02-04T15:00:00.000-05:00

So, you're stuck in my

Old Green Wool Sweater

2007-01-29T10:10:00.000-05:00

GR, I am sick and have on that old sweater of yours,
The green wool one you made me put on in that snow of 2000-
When I was leaving the Greenpoint impromptu musical.
I had it dry-cleaned one time and tried to give it back,
But you insisted on a permanent transfer.
Good ol' green sweater has survived several Stalin-esque purgings --
It has outlasted wacky red sweater and "Dead Welsh Poet."
And, indubitably, it survives this move.
Who will know where it will end up?

Dear Green Future, Deer Green Future

2007-01-26T00:56:00.000-05:00

When we rent a hotel,
Let all of the mustards distinguish themselves.

"I work well with this carafe."
"I coordinate holily with Pontius Pilate of the Airwaves."

If you leave with the bowling shoes
Your card will be charged.
But, for what it's worth--
The network is down!

My Youngest

2007-01-26T00:48:00.000-05:00

Well, an eye drop away is You!
Three sweaters dropped in the donation box is You!
A futon to Craigslisters!
A wall-size Public Enemy poster to your cousin!
You're on your way, I tell you,
And we couldn't be happier.

Your presence is welcome,
Your upcoming presence is exciting.
We await your door-kicking and smile.

Cashing in a 401k -- lonelyBoy412 Waits on Russia

2007-01-26T00:44:00.000-05:00

It came in a box.
Like a sticker, it brought immeasurable joy.
I would repeat its play like it's Star Wars.
It's name is only "Wife."

Wine all over "The Iliad."

2007-01-26T00:36:00.000-05:00

Oh,no
Not again.
Wine all over "The Iliad."
This leads to barbaric ibids of former arguments
And the eventual spitting - probably a Friday Achilles against an early Saturday Agamemnon.
We are all un-horsed.
Send in the Dandy Jester. Is he awake?

That advice is that you demand you mean,
("By Kurt Cobain! That look on Coney Island piers!")
That you're not your style?
That your most forward words are not a heat lamp?
Did you mean your most forward words?

Upstairs, my friend,
I'm heading downstairs,
But first I need to make a stop even further upstairs.

My flight is up.
There will be a library where we can really argue over all this, Upstairs.
Downstairs, you're of course always welcome.

Oh, j_____ I left the oven on.

Paramus Be Damned

2007-01-26T00:14:00.000-05:00

There he gleamed and intimidated-
At your mother, no doubt,
In that fuzzy ol' picture frame,
Before making that passage to America--
In this lifetime by airplane; in another by crappy steamboat.
Either way - they loved and hated each other,
And the pixels were difficult to distinguish.

Later an acquaintance reflected fondly on your father;
He must've been hilarious when he didn't make you flee.
This particular acquaintance, however, is busy living out a familiar love hexagon.

Half Way To Rockland

2007-01-16T23:30:00.000-05:00

Daiquiri David and Peter Brandy Alexander
Wait on their watches
Like Elder and Older Teaneck before some raincoat mystery.
Finally I arrive-
My laser disc flipped over and spinning.
We play Triple,
A funny brainteaser of mustiness and futura fonts,
An odd game of Usher and snack mix.

The black cow auditions for Equus in the lavatory.
The Triple take their turns in the dark DJ booth.
The rainy-eyed parking attendant makes his friends with frequent pouring.

It's Late-night Pigs at the Trough

"precious darling, this is just the beginning,"

she bats eyelashes at her new ipod shuffle,
and careens her friendship sideways on the subway bench for mental repair, or at least rejuvenation.

"precious darling, how many songs to know?
you are my favorite travel companion--
until your brother is born."

Walk To 10th And Back

2007-01-02T23:07:00.000-05:00

Dragons bounced out to the curb
Or are those just green kilt splotches of the mayor's mind,
Or doorknobs on the cat that is Granny's ghost?
Maybe the street is sweating Christmas trees...
The holidays are over and I finally wrote to Swiss Miss,
A premium something of compliments and humorous hors d'oeuvres.

The city is beautiful, kissing the black and blue Hudson.
I have retraced my steps.

Well they've doled out bill russell's rings
And they've given you shaggly, timely things
1978 so far, so long ago,
But, yo, Dave Cho--
6 Foot Sissy and six or so songs
Make 3am CBGBs so soon-soon-soon ago
Like my name was Tommy Disco.

The clown finally tires out
The snappy dialogue gives way to snog

Revisionist History With Daigliz

Yes, they stubbed their toe-
But look at their progress!
If you were to tell me Kalahendra 39 would daigliz all planubobuttons by 2014 three years ago -- I'd tell you to go tell it on a fountain.
But now! With all they've accomplished!
I have to take you seriously with all this daigliz shit.

It smashes my head and climbs up The Sears Tower.

Jimmy’s Lyrics Wine Picks for 2006

2006-12-15T11:51:00.000-05:00

Jimmy’s Lyrics Wine Picks for 2006

1. Château PolishKandyr 1997 Rouge, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, $45
A startling blend of grenache and cabernet sauvignon; and apparently "there’s more of this coming early next year." (Imported by Arroz Tastings, Inc., Boston.)

2. Sweeny and Sweeny 2004 Red Zinfandel, Monaco, $24
This marvelous wine, the only Red Zin nurtured in the gambling slopes of Monaco, enjoys a note of cedar and spice. Rigorous in nature, growers speak of its automatic shutoff time. So don’t miss out! (Imported by Pastosa’s Wine Merchant, Brooklyn, New York.)

3. Domaine Bing Pierre 2003 Bourgogne Chardonnay, Burgundy, France, $21.56
Lean, mineral-driven white Burgundy that seems to take off its proverbial shirt. (Imported by AstroidalCahootz, Ltd., St. Josepha, California.)

4. Giacomo Davcho 2002 Barbera d’Alba, Messina, Italy, $12.50
One of the best values of the year. A bit young for its good, yet easy-going and elegant. Note the black cherry after effects. (Imported by Skunkd Trachea, Garden City, New York.)

Inkling of Summer
