unknown objects in the sink



What in the pink 
what in my drink, 
what in my kitchen sink
sank, 
who drank 
drunken squirrels and
froggies
of the frozen forest!
dozens of thousands of
trousers
have bouncers and won’t
let you in
until wed
nes day

but you won’t see it
lookin’ straight at it
if it’s in the corner of your eye
like any disturbance

all you can do is
duck and cover

trying to be realistic



She had so many geese
that she would hide her sorrows inside pillows
made of geese feathers
if she was sad,
but she wasn’t, 
and she bought ticket to a ship
to sail to Paraguay
to hunt more geese by the sea
 - but there’s no sea in Paraguay,
her friend said, and she said,
you’re spoiling my dreams,
and she became really sad, 
and she tore the pillows, 
and the feathers flew away, 
and they had to carry her
to the cemetery for a semester,
and to loose weight, and more hair,
and to die, eventually   .
And the rains started to fall
for months, as if to sympathize her loss of hair
which was golden by the way,  
or to synchronize the story
or symbolize something bigger,
or apologize on behalf of her unthoughtful friend,  
or to help the birch grow,
to produce birch sugar to give her comfort,
or more shares to the shareholders of the birch sugar company,
and the sea grew
until it was in Paraguay
But the ticket to the ship, they said,
was already expired.

the stupid elephant




my stupidity is the
biggest elephant
whom I ever tried to force
inside pink ballet dress, or
across the bridge of emotions
without swearing
that this would be the last time
but I tried

after dark this
came out that she
used to eat straight from freezer
before they’d find her
chewing swallowing choking
for she had no other ambitions
or hope for a better future
than the one of a circus elephant

but to have her back from the bridge,
or to have one small thing undone
is more difficult than
walking one hundred new elephants
across the bridge,
and this is why we love to start
everything all over again

important things in life




in the green land
not far from heaven and hell
where bananas grow in the trees near the mountains which seem blue after rain
where the parrots can almost speak, if spoken to,
where they still feed the poets without poisoning them with work life reformers who want them to shovel the shit to get bread to learn realities of life,
and they keep trained monkeys
to get more tourists
to sell them cheap copy watches
they met,
and later the man said,
let’s just forget about it
and they cancelled the wedding
and the semi-detached house with exclusive design furniture
and the white Mercedes
and three children and some dogs and cats and the fish,
and the boring Sunday afternoons walking in the park,
and the boring never ending rows about
who’s turn to walk the dog,
the line,
the rope
and through the eye of the needle
in the endless conversations about who sacrificed more,
like two small boys arguing about who won in the chess game last week,
and the woman thought about it for twenty years and said,
yeah, let’s cancel all right
and since then,
poets were never fed
without poisoning them with work life performers
who want them to shovel shit, to learn that what comes out of the bottom
is more important than what comes from the mouth.

lying time machine





back to the present from the passed,
time machine came and announced,
with calmness in his metal voice:
my parents never met of there own choice
and I was never born,
and didn’t learn to read or write
or eat, or bite the bones
of other animals, or telephones or wires,
or to set up fires in the forests,
or chew, or sew the hemline of the outskirts
of the town nearby to make him look more
pretty to your eye.
so, I had to say good bye to dear parents,
according to the wicked time machine
which was launched by someone
who just wanted to see people separate
the flesh from bone.
it made me think that any beauty could
just be a mask of something better yet,
after revelation of the mother bones
and no human could be better than another
and another one is always better than the other.

soap factory




after the work
at the soap factory,
they washed my brains
but they didn’t iron
so here I think again
so the thinking machine comes to shrink
your skull,
but they didn’t think
that it grew back
I’m laughing on the rolling floor about it
our sun goes down on it
I hover my life on it
I follow the process
from the rear window
of her home town traffic
on my map
to get some poems you should walk
alltheway through madness and back:
come away from the crowds from the stations
where the elephants elbow
through the bottoms and up

mouth fish traffic




Pacific Ocean is an ocean
with a lot of fish traffic
people can watch through the ship windows
and wish,
jelly fish eaten by the mouth fish

gotten tired of the repetition of the situations
she emerged in another way
on another day:
fish was born out of wish substance
I never understood a sword of what he said

so they tried to link us through the heavens by force
so it didn’t work
now that’s how to raise pagans
