THE PETITE CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE

its beyond

the oceanic feeling
or
what rothko talks
about
in his painting

green and maroon

i was listening to an interview
with kerouac
i heard him say it
we're all gonna go to heaven

why wouldn't anyone perform
the miracle of enlightening all
beings in transmigration

the fact is
it is not possible for anyone
to do it

forgive they don't know what
they're doing

r and r for charlie
was a bowl of cold
rice
and some fresh rat meat

he checks his email from
dailyfetish.com

the spell checker
suggests he
change his name
to
seep
zed
or
zen

its all still life with
apples pears lemons grapes

y
el sueno


how about one more?!!!!!!

THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE EXPERIENCES ARE MISTAKEN FOR ONES TRUE DESTINATION


i was wearing my denim jacket
with a
reproduction of van goghs
self portrait
on the back

on my way to the library

i walked past this woman
who saw the portrait
i heard her say
that's incredible
so i paused to let her have a
further look

that's incredible

it
looks exactly like kirk douglas

honey all the gods drink
