Brain

This is my brain (pointing at his head)
and this is my horse aquarium.

Grandma bit off my arm!
She poured beer on my arm-hole!

I may go blind!
I may go blind

because
everything always begins with geraniums.

Everything always begins with geraniums
again and again and again.

Wake

Man from Mars asks you
who you are and

after you explain that
it's a

very

long

story

and he she or it would probably
die listening and never make it home to

his her or its
home planet,

then the man from Mars explains that it
ain't a man neither and the two of you hoot and holler

up and down the West Bank and Seward
until all the old bars

close forever and
Willie Murphy comes back from the dead.

Fat

How did I get so fat?
I got a gut like the
moon and sun, but

all I ever eated was the planet Neptune!

I got a gut like the
moon and sun, but

all I ever eated was the planet Neptune!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Am I your whiskers or your
whiskey sours?

Am I your car
or am I your cornstarch?

Am I your heart
or am I your ho-ho?

Who are you?
Who wants to know?

Tree of Life

We were born on the ladder of bone

in the tenth generation of sorrow

Peace was promised again and again

until even grief was broken

on the wheel of the sun

Moon and sun with no tomorrow

on the ladder of blood and bone

in the tenth generation of sorrow


 
-Ghodi (translated from Dari by Jacob Freeze in Mazar-i-Sharif 2010)

Hell

They try to
convince you that this isn't

Hell

but wherever you go
you can hear something

howling.


 

New York Herald Tribune

Sirens never stopped screaming from the skyscrapers!
No one even remembers the names of the newspapers!

No one even remembers the crimes or the names of the crimes
or the names of the names of the names of the victims.

Sirens never stopped screaming from the skyscrapers!
No one even remembers the names of the newspapers!

Fifth Day of Christmas

On the fifth day of Christmas,
I bought you two feets and a fetus!

Tick tock!

On the fifth day of Christmas,
I hated my Mom like an H-bomb!

Tick tock!

It's like tickling a corpse!
It's like pickling your feces!

Your retarded cousin set himself on fire
on the fifth day of Christmas!

Tick tock!

I Forgot Vietnam

I forgot Howdy Doody!
I forgot how to hum!

I forgot the gamines!
I forgot the grommets!

I forgot the
gamines in you-name-a-city!

I forgot the
grommets in my wampum!

I forgot Vietnam!

Prom

I tackled a duckling!
You called it "King Canute!"

I neutered the interns!
You enraptured the saboteurs!

Then we drove all the gunk out of Ireland!

In the Movie, Tina Fey will play Dahlia Lithwick!

Your lawyer locks you in the
loo of a rural
jury-box with a

litter of piglets and a
thick fur wig!

You deserted your yurt!

You deserted your yurt and

suddenly you were
dancing in the movies!

Everybody loved you!

(Smooch!)

Everybody loves you now!

Body Count

We counted by teeth!
We counted by squeaks and hee-haw whiskey!

We counted by ashes!
We counted by dimes!

We counted by blood and the blinding arc of revelation!

Menu

Gumbo bunions for the matrons and snot-bigots!
Mutton for the goons!

Bongo onions for the Romans and shit-midgets!
Mush for Grandma!

Bingo honey for the crazy girls!

Studio City

Have you ever eaten human flesh?
Have you ever eaten human flesh in a major motion picture?

I own your eyeball!

I own your ear!

I own your ear and all I had to eat was
human flesh in a major motion picture!
