Wake up, wake up!
I've had enough. No more replay That fateful day. Why oh why? Same alibis. Same sentence passed. We're all aghast. We'll be your fate If you're too late. I beg your pardon. Go call the warden. Sandra, darling, Our lives at stake. Just desserts Are still half baked. Instead, I'd like To propose a toast. My mind's arrest Becomes a roast. Behind green doors, A simple chair I've manifested. We're all there. A mask to cover All I know. Are you ready? Here We Go! 4/6/25 ZONE S2E26#B

Venus/Mars
Shooting stars Won't you stay? Hot plate today. Tomorrow's another way. Another find In this Twilight Of the mind. Coffee diner, cozy corner. Idle hands are getting warmer. Inside glowing from the out. Interstellar gadabout. Down here somewhat run of mill. Perhaps you'd like a small refill. We don't always feel this shy. Among us sits a sipping a spy. I spy with my third eye A place to land. Hide on the sly, With whipping cream on apple pie. Reinvent ourselves today, As they move to get away. Outer signal's getting strong. Best you'd better get along. On your way, then. Time to go. Across the bridge, Seems apropos. Tonight they'll drip Into the water, As the cup Spills on the saucer. 5/20/25 ZONE S2E28 Nothing but static,
No longer romantic. What is it with you? A typo redo. Pour me a drink. Then flush me down the sink. Let them tell you What they think. Get out of here, Finchly. Why don't you just leave. Get out of here, Finchly We're up past our sleeves. The clock keeps on chiming, Dusk mighty dawn. You've lost your good timing And wits now sit on The mantle. You're a A heartless, cleaving Candle, with Castanets and bon vivants. Down the stairs, clacking, A crackle buzzing haunts The crashing scoundrel To the floor. Bring me panic, Nevermore. Call me, my dear, now Through the wire's bending ear. The wheels are turning ought Towards the terror thickened plot. Across the grounds And in the pool, swimming Swell that swallows a fool. Now, at the bottom Holding court, A man, machine and Rappaport. 4/1/23 ZONE S2E4 Force fed
An alphabet. Wined and dined On Pacific time. Romanced by A plot of grass, This shifting mass Runs out of gas. So it seems, These laser beams And twice stitched seams Have found the morning. Don't cry, It's swarming. I hear the buzz Now, just because I'm hoping. Enough of coping With second string. And another thing, I think I've earned What's now my turn. Now turning faster. The fasting chapter Comes to an end. I've got the bends, But never mind, It feels sublime. 3/19/20 Someone's coming.
Someone Who Scared you silly, Made you blue. Remember Marky? Remember Me? In the dark, he Came to see. Helen, honey, Here I am. Get my money, Then I'll scram. You look familiar. Yes you do. Maybe cuz I am you too. Let's go playing In the park. Let's chant sing songs In the dark. Someone's coming. Someone Who? Someone's naughty Through and through. Remember Marky? Remember Me? In the dark, he Came to see. Pick up a lamp Or grab a rope He's at the door Don't be a dope. He'll jog your memory. He'll chase your dream. Up on the landing, He'll make you scream. I hear you, Helen. Loud and clear. I am in body, That which you fear. Try to remember. I think you can. That glowing ember Just needs a fan. Brighter, stronger Braver, true. Recall the past Has room for two. Wake up, darling. Wake up, dear. No longer need you Hide your fear. 11/8/21 ZONE S1E29 Time is the enemy
Time is on my side Time is riding next to me On this rollercoaster ride Up and down we go. Dancing toe to toe. World that spins us round Finds the clock unwound. If you dream, you'll sleep. Go floating in the deep. A window or a door Go through and dream some more. Inside, The cat girl growls. "Come with me" In omnipresent vowels. The fluorescent moon Hums and glows. Chasing after, There he goes. Off to another date. Hold my calls, This one Can't wait. 11/5/19 ZONE S1E9 On a pedestal
He stands. Respect He commands. Time has tarnished, Dulled the varnish. Commemoration. Veneration. Clacky clack. Smack of balls Sputters through Cigarette halls. On forest felt And chalky blue, In the corner Waits my cue. Corner pockets. Winner’s cup. Fire rockets. Rack em up. Little kid And Red Roy Rogers Whose heart he hid. The tiny todger Now looks back. His shoes won’t fill The walls that crack The windowsill. Behind the memory Aches the song. His only father Could do no wrong. 04/12/22  2020, oil on canvases, latex on panels, 16x20", 14x10"
Fair?
What's fair? Without us here To smirk and glare. I see you here. I see you there. Contended worlds Of savoir faire. We plod and trudge, Nod and judge Why you're not us. Our live's a fuss Of busy nothings In folded order. Time's getting shorter With meanings shallow. Our hearts are hollow. They'll blow away. But yours would stay Content and self reliant. Because loneliness Is a giant, Free of tangles And nagging strangles. Just when we've found Your inner peace, You reel the catch, Unhook and release. ZONE S1E8 What once was
Isn't now, Just because. When we were Fuzzy, funny. Still a blur. How it went. No longer What we meant. Who, they say, Fallen. Gone away. Where we used To keep lying. Lies asleep. The way we used To go, now runs Along the main road. Why I chose that life. I couldn't cut it With a knife. Where we all went Wrong. Expecting we could get along. How the roof came down. No support In that lofty town. What to do now? Raise our hands Above our brow. Why didn't I see before? Too young to open The other door. But i see it now. 4/`12/22 Rambling reason
Blinding discourse Open season Falling field force One more time For good measure Perhaps discover Buried treasure Nothing lost Something gained Say it loudly Speak it plain Words redundant Like a chant Over, backwards Wail and rant Hope does fall On blanket ears Catching open Hearted tears We pray that future Changes course The way a river Carries force Let's float on The current's strength And calmly drift Ourselves awake. 5/31/22 Peek a boo.
Coochie coo. We mean no harm. Don't be alarmed. Tap Tap, the door. Knock Knock, under the floor. Footsteps bump above. I've had just about enough. Now, we're in the soup. In the litter without a scoop. Everywhere, going round and round. I hear that beeping, telegraph sound. Shining lights up through the floor. Poking knives under the door. We'll huff and puff and pitter pat. Raise the fur of scaredy cat. Time to check under the bed. Anxious buzzing in my head. Up the ladder, through the roof. A teeny, tiny saucer spoof. Hello, my dear. Please let me in. So I can get Under your skin. Away with you! I'll see to that And squash you, Like a pancake, flat. 1/15/25 ZONE S2E15 Step right up.
Don't be shy. Devil may care Truth or dare. What a deal At these prices. Tuck and roll Those fuzzy dices. Bargains, Bargains Never seen. Step inside. Behind the screen. Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. If it breaks down, Just take the train. I drive a bargain. You drive a truck. My profit margin Won't leave me stuck. What next rolls in, I wouldn't expect. A ride that makes me Be direct. Like it is, Not what it's not. Give you the Biz On my lucky lot. ZONE S2E14 In the game room
At the club, Talk that matters Mad as Hatter. Conjecture coats The living dream. Things not always As they seem. Here today Was thought tomorrow. Premonition Superstition. Tried to warn you. Let me in. The future isn't What it's been. Look here, old chum, I must protest. The past lies back there And needs its' rest. Some be changed, While others can't. See me rave And then I'll rant. Tonight, professor's Heavy hearted. Hypothesizing What time has started. 1/11/25 ZONE S2E13 |
