pissed off poems and cross words

[9/85]

woman-in-residence                

these are antiterror terrorists & those are . . .
peace ship bombed
clean environment thinking men peace
that's what we want sigmund
you're right (for a change) it is a lot to ask
i'm not asking i'm demanding

[9/85]

free country
                         
acid rain less and less i am at one with nature*
boone lake 'keep out'
garden of eden's apples safer than america's apples
chemicalburger
here a leak there a spill everywhere a . . .
unlove canal

*less and less nature is nature

 

[9/85

not far enough daddy

which junk to put inside before love
bunch of mad scientists
parts of my private body named after men
   then there's the lie about eve
   100 years ago we weren't people

[9/85]

not an ode to haiku

no intentional poetic devices in my poems
sure i know what kind of haiku sells
there're always those who mess up the going thing
art of course has no rules to break

haiku

spring morning a chemical spill
summer afternoon a chemical spill
autumn evening a chemical spill
winter night a chemical spill

passive resistance

haiku is not my tearoom
my tearoom is my tearoom
if i had one
i refuse to be denied content

spiritual well being
