Hacks of all nations repair to your stations. Some sentences need to be written. Severe degradations, misconstrued quotations, to puncture the shy and once-bitten. The front page must rage with outrage and opinions that make … Read more
If I could write like Dylan, I’d give my soul, god willin’. I’d kill to write one "Maggie’s Farm." For "Winterlude," I’d do some harm. I’d chop off both thumbs and a toe to pen … Read more
I like baked potatoes, and lettuce and tomatoes. But I don’t like tornadoes, unless they go to Oz. Those munchkins are delicious, and flying monkeys vicious, the wicked witch pernicious. She’s got that ugly schnoz. … Read more
McQueens are walking, hand-in-hand, Steve and Butterfly. Funny how celebrities pair up after they die. There’s the Powells, handsome couple, Dick and Adam Clayton. And the Taylors, Liz and Robert: didn’t know they’re datin’. Lovely … Read more
I am pleased to be here now as the head of this great class. I know my marks were good, but I am no more than you. We all had a good time. We all … Read more
The message in a bottle flowed like flood tide down my throat. I felt as if I’d lost an oar but didn’t have a boat. I couldn’t see the shining sea from this far on … Read more
Perhaps my abject failure stems from lack of vision. Importing foxholes once seemed an inspired foray. And when they crumbled on a turbulent journey here, the sandcastle-in-a-box kit seemed an excellent idea. And, after a … Read more
Tape your windows. Wear your camouflage. It’s a shooter’s holiday. Hide your loved ones in the garage. There’s a death arcade and many real wild rides. There’ll be bullets lodged in some unlucky hides. There … Read more
The protoplasmic gun belt hangs low on the hips of the world. Shooting speed into cows is the latest rap. Now they are lowing the brain damaged mice to sleep in their electronic cabanas. A … Read more
There’s a crash outside the church and bodies in the road, a flood of blood, the sirens cry, and god is just a goad. To die in shadows of the cross seems ethically untoward. The … Read more
All the townsfolk who pray to the lion and lamb have decided that justice is rarely well done. All the saints ate the sinners, served up in a jam. Now the sisters of mustard all … Read more
Wicket eyes in cardinal sauce. Rum furry flakes. Slapdash panache. Spicy species. Involuntary continental mousse. Anise abuse. Dribbled backwards conks. Lubricated moss. Dendrites on buffalo snatches. Percolated flack dabble. Umpteen fruity quads. Redondo quill flyers. … Read more
I pick up things from off the street and sell ’em. Whenever words come to my head, I yell ’em. They call me Hubcap Bub because I’ve got a big collection. Folks can stop on … Read more
I awoke at two a.m., my reading light still on, a book about the chupacabra of Boca Raton lay open on my chest; I was a fan of science fiction, the monsters of the southern … Read more
I can’t get a laugh out at the funny farm. The cows love satire, but find it ironic not to show it. (Cud-ups!) The deadly ducks quack up at nothing. Mules may bray, but only … Read more
Two bodies of life lined up on a couch begin to slouch and generally disintegrate. The dog eats their dust and turns into rust, he’s thrown in a car but no one gets the license … Read more
Someone please break down the door. Memory is on the floor. How we lost this history still remains a mystery. Images that once were hale now are rendered wan and pale. It’s as if a … Read more
Sister Sidewinder just can’t take old Sister Snake. They battle in the apses all night long. One says "chalice," one says "malice;" it’s real hard to take. Their dogma tells them everyone is wrong. It … Read more
It is not the world I wanted. Claim it not as your mistake. If at night our eyes are haunted maybe this could be our break. Some great star will fall upon us, some bright … Read more
