Green leaves and big trees

twenty-two steps, with harness in hand, straight up a ladder
latching onto a literal life line with white knuckled nervous laughter
leaving my feet to fly with flocks of multi-colored birds on the zip-line.

Littered Alleys

I woke up today and I noticed that the sun
was just a little bit brighter.
Of course that was after I read the most
scandalous article in the paper
that was firmly tangled in my hair.

Wondering where my shoes had disappeared to,I began my search.

It really is as great around here as if
Picasso himself had smeared feces on the wall.
The smell of the putrid pine nuts
festering in league with the fetid flesh
of farm animals.

Ah yes found them, however I don't remember vomit being a main component of shoe leather.

You see, I've been sleeping here lately.
Wonderfully close to my favorite bar,
work, and hell,the rent is free.
Hey Cletus, you still have that comb in your shopping cart?
Sorry, what was that you were saying?

Almost forgot, we have that meeting with Linderman about your IRA tracking today.
Don't miss this chance to enhance your portfolio.

Guilty Pleasure

Crowded with laughter
the party swirls around
The piercing blue eyes
of the woman who makes
the party move,
kiss me,
lick me,
Tease me,
shivering from the touch
of your lust,
craning your neck to show
the alabaster white skin,
a look thrown my way
saying, I dare you,
You know you want me,
fill me with your
screams and dreams,
your burning desire,
kiss me,
Lick me,
Tease me,
All over again.
