RUDOLPH VALENTINO BLUES (a song)
Cat in a fish.
A hole in a well.
Screams in an ambulance.
You gotta let it rip.
Pictures of lovers, both old and nude.
Strangers on the same street.
Church bells rhyming
You gotta let it rip.
Can't find my legs.
They ran off with the farmer's
daughter.
Got to stop myself
from falling into laughter.
You gotta let it rip.
In polite company. Police corruption.
In the middle of a ceremony.
Prostate exam. Oral detention.
Freedom of speech.
You gotta let it rip.

Lip Gloss and Movie Making

I have these awful thoughts. In the middle of the night. When I can’t get to sleep. Like a slide show. The planet. Devastated. Hardly a sign of life except for the odd building on the landscape. And the sky is a deep purple. Silver clouds drift by. And the land is black. Except for the ditches where water runs red. There are leafless trees on the horizon that look like crucifixes. And I’m the last person on the planet. Except for a mysterious dark stranger. We’re the Adam and Eve of the planet. And he’s a serial killer.
