A Poet In My Soup  

There's a poet in my soup
an author in my drink.
Lover in my daydreams
ice skates in my roller rink.

Preacher in my living room
sharpshooter on my stool.
A clown in my bedding
dismay in my gene pool.

Firemen in the basement
plumbers on the roof.
Insanity in my family
I have pictures for proof.

Excuse me, there's a poet in my soup
rhymes crawling about my spoon.  
Ex-lover in my daydreams
midnight teasing my noon.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~

another archival piece...
written in 1988 when i was
putting together my first
"real" manuscript...this is
the title piece. Perhaps it's
lack of redeeming social value
set the stage for the manuscript...




bleeding...

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"
