    that’s a good one,
    witches fear it coming,
    subordination
    is their bailywig, which
    on the carpet this year
    style may dictate
    that that
    is the way
    to go

    of wierd or bad, I think more bad (heh, heh, heh...he said more bad)


    house I built

    night windows
    full of dreams

    in every room
    pieces fallen
    like crumbs

    why are mirrors
    frozen in time?

    glass is yin
    and yang

    false light
    and no light

    why a choice

    do not sweep
    the floor

    for I am lost
    here and alone

    mirror’s timeless path
    or the grit
    under my feet

    listen now:

    you cannot go
    all the way
    back home

    A Detournement

    I am still
    one alone
    sitting

    one who
    in time
    is still

    I sit
    unmoving
    this

    is the
    defiance
    against

    the limit
    the no more
    the aesthetic

    If women could understand
    by mazHur

    she grew up to 43
    pretty and intelligent
    once married once divorced
    two kids inherited
    then history took a turn
    she befriended a boy friend
    who sucked her for whole 10 years
    and then suddenly vanished with a shrink
    taking away in a leap the engagement ring
    and the promise to marry her;
    time passed on
    then enter a dragon
    an Indian guy in the middle east
    acting more loyal than the king
    impressed her and won her heart
    and finally vanished mysteriously
    leaving no news behind.
    Lately she bumped across me
    and we exchanged our ideas
    our aspirations, our likes and dislikes
    she liked me for whatever reason
    I liked her for most of the reasons
    she wanted me to cross the skies
    span the oceans and come to her
    in a far-fletched land
    I wanted to but my feet were fettered
    with previous commitments
    relocating was never easier for me
    I told her this but she resented
    said i was fooling her
    that i was just entertaining himself
    Ah! how she thought!
    Oh, how could i tell her!
    sometimes women are hard to convince
    it takes men to die twice, nay thrice or more
    to make them believe
    the truth, the reality
    that they are not disloyal
    that they are serious
    in matters of heart
    but there are limitations
    everywhere
    If women could understand
    I would be but too glad to tell them
    That all is possible
    that all could be accomplished
    but there's a time for everything
    that everything needed time

    to enjoin or disassociate
    that she should wait if she could
    or take another way to Rome
    as all roads lead to Rome
    but remember

    that Rome was not built in a day

    that a tree will not bear fruit
    instantaneously even if your poured
    a thousand buckets of water
    at its roots!

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    They go
    talking of arithmetic
    in the hollow of their eyes
    a screech trailing
    their movement
    like a nylon glove.

    Each number
    turns to the next
    counting
    what they cannot have,
    registers clanging
    their buttons
    pressed
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    Practice dullness in the bath,
    Take the grey and lifeless path,
    Be boring so you'll blend right in,
    See self-satisfaction as a sin.

    What's wrong with being dull
    as long as you don't lull
    everybody else to sleep.
    Some bores are pretty deep
    and grey sometimes proves silver-ore
    laden with glittery bits galore.
    Excuse the shaky geology,
    there is no silver-ore, you see,
    but who's the self in "satisfaction",
    does it exist before the action?

    I'd say you were right and my bad poetry
    was just an expression of worse philosophy,
    but your deconstruction
    of self-satisfaction
    is rather undone
    by your inclusion
    of that grinning emoticon.
    So there!

    Masturbation, with lines from Oscar

    Do this, and the boy gets it! Blindness and death.
    ‘for each man kills the thing he loves’
    a little man, a little death.
    Self love, the only
    love worth having
    on a lonely night
    with only your pillows for company.

    There! Two shakes of a monkey’s tail
    and you’re done.

    lay back on a pillow and think!
    Feeling wise and grand
    While the mind is in a sink
    slimy as the scum on your hands!

    Yes I often ponder
    whether to do the dishes
    Or lie in bed and play with Slurkie

    I have my art, it is my poetry
    my darling moon, with
    tresses of star shine
    the deep drone of the cicadas
    spawn indecision,
    I bow towards the liquid sky
    darling you are mute

    I'm hungry
    And my soymilk is waiting for me
    With round chocopuffs
    No coffee, just tea
    I think it's going to be
    Same old same old me
