a collection of poems written rather evidently hastily:

cell phone

Low cell pho
steam
calling you
telling you
would be a dream
i want to love and tell you I do
i want to kiss and the kisses be you
but I can't I can't tell you I love you
the static is awful the
I got low cell pho steam

I came to earth
In search for Death
My brethren all gathered to give me a -
Push(n)
Some even said why don’t you jump     -push (not much of a push)
I ran I RAN I RRRRRAN
                 …
there was nothing but air                        ]
-(there)
p              
                    u
                                                s

I found a poem
I once had read
in an anthology some time in waste of at school
thiswhere inits original text
like discovering the world wasn't all that it lied

---

little georgie cottonwood
got sticks and ashes
for being good

when he was rotten
all was forgotten
rubbing his sore bottom
georgie stood

---

Self married Sheila
begetting a pair
Him and Her
settled Everywhere
They met Their spouses
Them and That
Who begat a slew
Of Anywhos
Which married Those
the entire clan
of Alls and Nots
both She and Man
brought the Nobodys
to peace again
(stealing of course There land)
to give an Else
Each fathered a Some
gladly went Out to shake their good Ins
Somebody said that We are the best
North South East West

---

The earth's a rocket
                                blasting to mars
to see if anything's
                                traveled that far
some how I think
                                the superior race
is nothing but
                                a human's waste

---

no buddy of mine
could find the time
some buddy was never there.
any body meant well
but now doesn't care
his body is draped on the stairs

---

I sold
my first book
about a fart
the second someone
decided
was art

To my third
WAS art
now isn't

---

I've written 8 on its (side of poems so far-
each one of them has been a good look-
but theirs always a 9 about to take form
in the legs, I can see through the books

---

my friend            is studying            to be undeclared
is hard at work
           how does he fare
      professing his failure
as i am the student
I am unsure
If it is prudent
To tell him class hasbeen
dis  
missed

etc.       I wonder, what is within
&         the roller coaster ride
@             a place, I call my home
( )         somewhere for me to hide

$               is what, can make me rise
*         I wish on every night
^         I wear, to make me wise

                and that brings us back to
                       etc.

                       ^

Death wore a Tuxedo
Befitting it was blue
With silver dollar
Cufflinks
And a bit of me and you
The hostess cleared her throat
And Death was welcomed in
He bore no gifts and helped himself
To the punchbowls little grin
