Unchanging Face Of Evil

You will come to know it 

Deep in your heart 

By the way it tries 

To turn your head 

This way and that, 

With you 

Refusing all the while 

To look the other way 

With nary a second thought.

 

Integrity: A Summing Up

How, after all the hollow, 

Speechless years spent

In the company 

Of the unprincipled 

Many, one word is now 

Enough to break 

Your vow of silence in- 

To inviolate pieces-- 

Keep on repeating it 

Till it rings true.

 

 

No New Tricks In The Theater Of The Absurd

Those of us who are still 

Alive, know how hard it is 

To play dead.

 

Stunning New World Naked Aphrodite

Sailors by a sea 

Beleaguered do not want 

To see wondrous dappled waves 

Lapping your feet--they hunger to see you 

Bursting full-blown from an oyster 

Shell before a herd of grunting 

Swine mooning over a brimming 

Trough of mind-blowing slop; 

So step right up and humor us

Knockout, please don't stop.

 

 

On A Fence (For The Time Being)

Where you were before

You decided to

Stay there(in)--

Definitely.
