Blue Red

                for Tad Rapid & Tirds McGee

Blood is blue inside and red

outside ∴  Blue good, red bad.

Red: Alarm. Red stands

for police & ambulance.

Blue: Mel's Passion: Think

Gesthemane, in blue: Good.

Blue link, good link;

Red link, no link ∴ 

Blue good, red bad: Red light:

Stop, but green light—

wait, no, yellow that— wait

Red cross good, right?

Yes, right, right ∴  red cross

should be blue cross? And?

Blue Cross Blue Shield !

Cross is Christ, yes, and

plus sign tilted becomes an X and

x means times, that's right, and yes,

t means Time, of course, of course

∴  plus/minus one/zero equals a little and

of course a horse

is a horse of course

and Paul saw Peter

and Peter saw Paul

and 42

means

at all

My odalisque be narrow, lithely gilt

at tail, but swiveld @ her centre, made

of goodly stuff, and mayhap she will tilt

just so, adornd with diamond emerald—

a prick—a sapphire black obsidian

and there, just there below meridian

beneath and to the west & east that white

enamel nub prest out against the sheath

of velvet satin olive alabaster

Rotormobile, savage, pigeon-toed

and knobby kneed, not splayd:

No waddling duck for this sick drake

of twisted form, not made for sportive trix

his spine 19° curved left for sin

@ 15, lockt in padded corsetbrace

in pimpled shame, in bumping corridors

hard plastic puppetboy, strapt in, tied up|

Thy odalisque be slender, spider-leggd,

come cherrytopt & cherrylipt and slay

us, brown black Dian Artemis O silver

horn, we watching in a thorny thicket:

Horny hunters, thou in Grecian glade

nimroddy toms, we peeping, run us thru

Thou odalisque O comely concubines

my slim & limber troupe

of cantaloupian musky melon loves

in closely clusterd groups like grapes

and bunches of well rinded fruits

of yellow, tan, or tawny

flesh O mellow meat O no !

2 Poems About a Bird and a Fish

           For Heather

1.

There once was a bird who loved a fish.

He thought the fish was quite a dish,

but the fish was playing hard to get,

and the bird got nothing, except     wet.

2.

There once was a fish who loved a bird.

The bird thought that was quite absurd,

so she chirrupped out a reprimand.

But the little fish didn't understand.

     I love a kitchen boy, and William is his name. - Steeleye Span [trad.]

Endless corridors, passageways, lights,

a sense of confusion, of having been

newborn, or born again, in some new world,

to seek out, strange, dark. Scotty. Born,

Dotty. Born. Yes, I remember, Oh My

Gawd.  Laughing. Daughters of some, bright-eyed

laughing daughters. Daughters. Tricorder.

Check. Mr Checkov. Checkov, run

a full sensor scan.  Off & on. Onward

rode the seven. 7 hundred. No.

it was 6 hundred. Six hundred men! Scotty.

The stars, you're fired mister. Dilithium.

Crystals. Dilithium. Lithium. Salt.

Water. What?s. I want answers. Speculate.

Spock. Spock. Please report to the. Quarters.

My quarters, Bones. Tricorders. Zones.

Neutral. Zone. Scotty! Dammit Bones.

Lieutenant. Yeoman Rand. Who is John Galt?

Yesyes lieutenant, I sd code. 2. Arm

     Bros before hoes. - Wise man.

I am that I am & eye yam what I yam, cried

Yahweh & Popeye when Lo & behind

us crept up beside us, she that did lob from her

guts the rotgutting catgutty strings

that, spat from her, tangled in webs of deceit

us menfolk, sickly & wan we: Waxen, pallid,

pellucid-eyed saps for the pelvicly maddening

midriff asway & aswivel. The drivel we spit

O cherry red ripe O snowy white Phyllis O

Chloris, Corinna & Daphne. Daft we

dribble in dulcet & docile deblitity,

prostrate & vexed with a witch's hex, he

sd, as he gasped his last breath, sexy,

& forkt o'er the fee. Fie! Fuck her fertility.
