An Allegory . . .

‘An Allegory with Venus and Time’
… by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Meanwhile …
here on Planet Earth
A feline on the prowl
to the beat on the street
of an Allen Ginsberg howl
The walk, the talk, to stalk
To click the mouse
of an indiscreet meet and greet
Then hiss the growl
with some lone wolf
of nondescript sandwich meat

A Poetic Warning

In a former life

Of chaos and disorder

Through a cosmic haze

Of bloodshed and strife

I well remember

A pilgrimage metaphysical

Seeking wisdom ancient

And knowledge mystical

From a secret agent

By the mythical code name

Brainwave Alpha

“First you need learn how to fly,
if indeed, you wish to kiss the sky.”

A Rocky Horror Show

A Rocky Horror Show

That uncle weirdo
the wild eyed gremlin
like an escapee from Gitmo
seems ill-suited
lurching to the podium
like an Egyptian mummy
in a Tuxedo
with his Dennis the Menace grin
the lingerie model
all wafer thin
A hideout for the Thing
somewhere below the elbow
that underhanded fiend
the four fingered gizmo
His girl wednesday to friday
Uncle Fester and Morticia
all now smiling for the cameras
like life size replicas
putting on a rocky horror show
Has this forever been
an Addams Family movie scene
directed by Quasimodo
or just another
US Presidential Election
