"Pretty young girl show?"
Summer sweat runs down my back.
Mekong Whiskey time!

---

numbly hungry not for food
but something aching deep down
maybe those x's can feed...

---

when love is nowhere
a substitute can be found
for a price too dear

---

Youthful waywardness
Needs second thoughts when we know
The Matroesjka's history

---

best actresses tempt
empty hearts or broken dreams
light disperses all

Near the grassy knoll,
unknown gunmen and Hoffa
ride Cuban saucers.

---

Alain yum-cha
Giant nipples in the sky
Shaojie, maidan

---

the sad cow watches
his sphincter gone to heaven
where the tricksters are

---

The wind is so strong
now I have to tend rice fields
without my best hat

---

warm warmer warmer
no come back, I am here
cold colder colder

the filth of the world
crash the garden of eden
theirs for the taking

---

Romance and carnage
Twenty years before the mast
Aye, aye, there she blows

-

Pirates of old stole
the gold. Now there’s a hanker
to nick a tanker.

---

Some Pacific coast,
Aubrey on the quarterdeck,
Maturin below

---

look on ye forward
if footing be it stable
arrival then moot

trolley dodgem hell
the quick, the dead, the hungry
tackle that waitress!

two plates of ha gao!
white pepper for the congee!
sticky rice with pork!

over pu-erh tea
we sit, survey the wreckage
Shaojie, maidan!

---

oh, that hurried pace
a glimpse of earthly pickings
but what for the soul

---

Place population
In the steamers, feed to plants
Makes more sense this way

---

delicate small mounds
topped with tasty brown mushrooms
nipples or dim sum?

my microscope blurred
motes borne on the abstract sea
in opposition

---

pink, blue, blue, pink
the giant amoebas float by
as tree marries television!

---

Thought transference through
diverse mediums – HELP ME
Sorry I’m just a fish.

---

Felix just hoicked
And up came a fur ball - Yoiks!
Not a happy cat

---

big bertha, small sun/son
earth and moon, entwined escape
from Fuji san's/son's/sun's milk

two of me in hand
is worth less than one of me
on your balcony

---

a finch in a pinch
giving a one eyed staredown
happy to just be

---

asphalt and concrete
a nowhere flickers with life
sparrow's arrival

---

hey little fellow
having a break from seeking union
with the sunlit window.

---

what we see here folks
is flying vermin, (but cute)
lice everywhere

Wheels within wheels
Mechanical, political
The world keeps turning.

---

a man of the world
one that he made for himself
swapping steel for sun

---

sex organ of the
technological machine,
man becomes subsumed.

---

how very beautiful
that behind that mechanical feat,
an ordinary man

---

steel and man entwine
meshing together at last
encircling them both
