ho ho ho’s (not to be confused)

bricks on the skillet
hope they aint overdone
I fashion chipotle charcoals
that plagiarize the sun

baked potaters smothered in butter
and marijuana cigarettes
young nurses in their outfits
and pornographic vignettes

I grappled for the bottle
and took in hand a breast
swallowed 3 Valium
and forgot about the rest

this ornate masquerade
is racing against the sun
as I race against the clock
to get her zipper undone

yes, it’s rather crude
to go on in such a fashion
I’ll attempt to bounce back
like the checks I was cashin

I give thanx to the USA
and all that patriotic trash
sell the flag on a shirt
and mop up the cash

the cry for war
and the price of a whore
are even more outrageous
when viewed on the showroom floor

It can all be labeled babble
if your insight is circumscribed
but the inner revolution
will not be televalgalised

it will not be saturated
with corporate sponsorship
and other pop culture blinders
that AutomatonMan finds hip

set down the remote
and credit card dot com
wait for my cue
to explode the wake up bomb

I am coming
as you may have guessed
and will appear as a witness
at the soul of your inquest

Know yourself
and re-invent when neccesary

Yanno? This deserves a serious critique, but for the life of me, all I can remember is that myself and my two sisters once had t-shirts made, white print on red--each one stating, "HO"--

together we made quite a statement.

Seasons Greetings, friend.

(with an oops to boot!
