this is the way
to enblightenment
[part 7 - the third pole of love]


Lime and Priceless Roads
lined with magnets and chimes
chinese chimes
ringing down in the valley dunes
with spoons and ruins of a century of progress
clacking to clinks of push and shove


oh, the sweet propaganda of love


(i lost this page)


(my wife is in love with my girlfriend)


Rearrange your wedding song


life is mixed up papers in a file drawer


that's the reason there was a message in the bottle
and the bottle was tossed in the trash


Lime and Priceless free at last
Lime and Priceless free at last


I need a folding lawn chair
to sit in
in the middle of a busy road


Passive aggressive happenings
waiting in line for a cheap disaster
film


museum master
of grey areas
and apathetic reactions
to affection


love hater
love to make love out of trouble


the thin blue line of blood that pours
from coffee cups of sunday morning


Lime and Priceless Eyes
blind as bad habits of passing blame
from woman to woman to man to cops
to cars to buildings
to the bureau of love


I heard the thud of a studebaker parking in the alley
behind my old house
where the devil of soda pop confetti made me
break my lease
and move out to a cabin in utah
to prepare for
floods, biblical floods
sweeping through the valley
of chimes
chinese chimes
ringing in the image
of lords
leper lords
pouring through a straw
that slips
through a camels eye


Wide and Biased Opinions
Imprisoned at last


Lime and Priceless
Pregnant with glass


shut the door
write a contemporary ballad


or a ballad of contempt


(a composition waits in my head)


(still waiting)


i prefer decompositions
that include copyright
infringements


"A 4-inch Orange Doorhinge of Purple Courage"
or
"Why I wasted my time on gods little fetishes of faith"


no.


new title:


  "My prodigous religious fervor, take two"


there is a mirror in my eyes
that reflects
marvin gaye songs
played to the
loop of eno rockabilly
phase delays
elvis crests a wave
brian wilson prays
to graceland
with manson strawberry
fields for better or worse
follow me down
the yellow brick road
to suze creamcheese
name dropping just
got a royalty payment
from the jackson 5
and i'm still the same
nameless asshole
standing in the rain
and laughing
at new york times
crossword puzzles
based on puddles
of electric feedback
from guitars and pedestrian
slanting
007 and magnum pi
nuthin but all of the sudden
i'm winston churchill
on tobacco road
with james carville's daughters
who sold me some valium
and i suppose
i'll take some with
a william shatner
sings dylan record
album
and i'll shout
mayan codices of love
into the void of promise
and believe
what my doctor
tells me
about rod stewart
and cups
of semen


ooh baby baby
tell me what you want
what you really really want


i'm your monkey boy
sex machine


do-da-do-da
doo wop


yea! slap your face!


middle 8


Lime and Priceless free at last
Lime and Priceless free at last


come back, vietnam dance
go back, laos summer hut
fall back, machinegun winter
death march, teenage magazines
proper burials, jimmy johnson USA


next is fridays whistle


first time i've ever found a fountain foaming with locusts
in the meantime


also


hey look at that


what happened?
