odyssey of the stillborn

a normal saline junkie
from Gepetto to Longfellow
from the moons of Neptune
the village idiot screams "puta!"
a genteel appetite for mayhem
his lungs were filled with oxides
from the mines of narcolepsy
very funereal, living, a funeral
it was a happy tune
and they had to listen
in order to line up
at the edge of extinction
some seemed to know their way about
how to strap on a parachute
in nine sky blue seconds
made of blue jeans and black leather
and twists in the tale
tarot decks and ouija boards
in typical mandrake fashion
is it an open system
in that way
muscle flexing is passe
geeks carry the flag
a fukken raw deal
for the fussiliers of the Black Tabu
they killed with their bare teeth
and built a bare breast world
which is why I am now sharing
the secret of the universe with you
ahem
mind is a deriviative universe
picture power o holy retina
o holy everything
well, that's it
now to get on to the meatier part
it's getting harder to hide things
my license to lounge is interfering
with them toying with my mind
buzzards are circling
and a couple of robins too
it's an assignment in deepest Tunesia
we're sending you to negotiate
it's the biggest thing since Nineveh
but we're not sure of the spelling
I'd have to read the poem first
Oedipus at least acted
empathy need not be
a prelude to discourse
but it helps more than
desecration of graves or art
of a thousand obstacles
more than hair dye
which has been stolen by
fetus headed aliens
the ones with eyes
all over their heads

A classic from Walter Alter, I'm not sure whatever became of him.
