perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[WIREMAN]

like cowboys sleepin'
boots on, crud mingles
microbes sing their
resistance song
stink perpatrators banishing
ills that chill wills applied
to his wishbone steaks
do you realize it was mr. ed
that wanted to stickit in der hoben
ole clint eastwoods purdy pony
whole (hole) episode dedicated to that
little feat, wilbur, head em up
move em out rawhide!

[katydid]

prepare yourself for deflated expectations
I spurt out a Gossamer Wing and
three endless souls and throw in a
scream and a hair pull and
wait
what else do I hate
"sated" yes

the drama the breath the
grandmother death
the genuflect
the love and the bond and the holding
of the wand

it this
so
very
awful enough
or should I add a rhyming couplet?

[katydid]

roots have grown all the way to the
tips
box-free since two thousand six
Ms Clairol stands
naked hip on hand
tongues around the bubble gum
girdle free since two thousand three
what you get it what you see
the mark the stretch the oh yes
god the stretch
you want to put that
where?
ring of fire burns then numbs
then the hormones come to swirl pain into
oh yes you can yes you can
and again

[WIREMAN]

hummingbird flies
helluva beating wing
laid onside sugar pie
honey bunch
we had it going on
then i got lost on a train
the horn sounding
pulled out i had to holler
hot damn!

[WIREMAN]

[WIREMAN]

[Doreen Peri]

Me? I learned how to be cool
from you way back in school.
No wait, we're too cool for school.

[WIREMAN]

drooling at the school
sleeping through
the boring
i missed the boat
had to educate myself
library scourer
learned all about art and lit
on my own
devoured them libraries
in md. d.c. and virginny
then the puter revolution
came along
everybody's got a library
in their pocket
faces buried in em on
the train
electronic reflections
in the windows
its amazing
sometimes u see an old
school newspaper
reader, its shocking

[WIREMAN]

seeing around the dimensions
picasso took from braque
braque took from picasso
a guitar here, nude there
angled, gris came
as the homogenizer
mochanizer hung in cafes
amsterdam canals
dutch parlays
nude cuties in the windows
meat neon displayed
dutch masters
lace and haberdashers
where did rembrandt
spend all that dough?

[WIREMAN]

u could see it
in her eyes, dr. woo
han shan shelves
topiaryismo outside
sheepskin pill box hat
she wore
lost in jam confusion
every jamster gerbilizing
elsewhere in code
where r my memphis blues?

[the mingo]

where r my memphis blues?

trapped in a '59 Chevy
some time during the autumn of '66
the Mother Road was only
bits & pieces by then
today only legend
allowing easy manipulation of the aggregate -
hell, i never wrote a song in my life

[WIREMAN]

even mr zimmerman
says songs just kinda
spill outta of ya
the good ones at least
theres some kinda voice
deep inside takes over
ya know old henry was just
a vehicle for that voice
to drive, he used to just flow
with it hoping the damn thing
wouldnt land him in jail
and it damn near did ifn he'd
a gone to brooklyn, they wanted
to lock his ass up over tropic of
cancer......

[WIREMAN]

red meat
blues deep
jam sumptuous
flow repleat
lull in the action
feel like im loosin
traction
cold comin on
i b doggone
aint gonna wake for
the alarm
sunday anyway

[the mingo]

17 degrees when i got up this morning
furnace not answering to the thermostat
wonderful -
by the time i pieced all the info together
that led up to this
and how to go about fixing it
i had this stray thought
about pockets -
and that's all i'm gonna
say about that
