Shoot 'Em 'Fore He Runs Now

Psssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..................
Gone
A little light particle on two legs
Tearing like holy hell and burning rubber and leaving the soles of his Nikes

Gasping for air

What's that?
they just screamed something
Sounded like

"Ruuuuuuuunnnnnnnn"

you see
some things have a distinct sound
the mighty crack of a homerun
the air splitting whistle of your mother
but those are somewhat pleasant sounds
the sound that has inspired this maniacal terror
is the arch enemy of the adrenal gland
it will cause instantaneous emptying of the bowels
and produce quarts of sweat
what is it
the grim sound of a 12 gauge-pump action-

Delivery Man - Playing on Poe

Once upon a summer night, while we watched
A Mike Tyson fight,
Over many a loud and raucous cheers
from alcohol consumption-
While Tyson was sent a rocking, suddenly there
came a knocking.
As of someone violently knocking, knocking at my
patio door.
Tis some visitor, I muttered, knocking at my
patio door-
Only this and nothing more.

Presently my hearing grew stronger; hesitating then
no longer,
Sir, said I, or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore,
But the fact is Tyson was rocking, and so eagerly you
came knocking,
And so loudly you came knocking, knocking at my
chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard

What We Are About to Receive

Things are covered in dust
The Workingman's Blues have hit like a steam engine
And backs are breaking under the pressure of an indifferent world
It's these simple things that keep the motor running
These fleeting joys
It's a factory desperation that triumphs over the spirits of hundreds of
honest men
And what is an honest man?
What of his family?
What of the glory and honor of perseverance?
Millions turn out the lights when they go to bed
And someone still blows out the candles before they turn in
A good night's rest is a figment of the imagination
And that's what we're getting to
A man's blood in the soil he tills
A man's raz

The Burden and The Glow

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
Carrying the burden and the glow
Of a searchlight soul

A broken animal dazzled by
Eternity's perfume
trusting in darkness as the window of a universe
Not the poisoned growl
Of a rotting flower

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
Toward Jerusalem
And a feast for a thousand hungry ghosts

Merely memories or burning embers losing their heat?

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
To Damascus - ancient city
Of a pilgrim trail

Prayers to be said

Seedy Underbelly

We want the goods
Who knows, blows who- who's got the pull
The size
The habit
The appetite
We the vigorous vultures of verisimilitude
We feed off the luridly authentic- it makes us feel alive
Distance our disillusionment

We want our demigods divinely dipped and delivered defiled

Ava Gardner's murky memoirs of miscegenation
We want Rita Hayworth and Rock Hudson

Here's a handful of kids - I say kids but they're 18 and 19-years old - lining up as the USS Phillipine Sea prepares to come alongside another ship for refueling.

Sarah, thank you so much for your amazing support over this last, jeez, two years I guess. You're incredible. How's London this time of year?

It's not really been that long, has it? London is beautiful, well when it's not raining and overcast anyway. I really should get back into the city and take some more photographs...
