THE STARS RUN THEIR COURSE



a beggar-king
at Burger King
asking for The Impossible

now I'm a SpongeBob diver

beneath the 12 mile reef

a broken lance

torn underpants
it undermines
all my carefully curated bravado

so many lifetimes


you think Bigfoot

is concerned about 
his carbon footprint?

and the case against

having anything
is that you've so much
to lose
(I'll send obligatory
condolences
or maybe congratulations)

but anytime you switch on

the radio
and Steely Dan
comes wafting
(like those Santa Ana winds)
you're ahead of the game

the bathroom down the hall

always has somebody in there
beneath the hand-scrawled sign
that says 
Please take a seat

you can

of course
always hang it out the window
unless it faces the street

let the stars run their course

it all makes sense 
in mysterious ways

one day your writings

will be all that's left of you

WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT
















All right
NATURE LOVERS--

Let's talk about the NATURAL man

When you get right down to it...

It is UNNATURAL to
trim one's hair

It is unnatural to
shave one's beard

Or to shave one's legs
(and I knew plenty of women in the 70's
who were fully cognizant of this!)

When you get right down to it...

It is unnatural to
get a bikini wax

Or to allow someone
to unceremoniously rip off
the hair
that is naturally growing
on one's back
with that sticky tape...

AAAAAGGGHHHH...son-of-a-BITCH !


When you get right down to it...

Were we to opt for the completely
NATURAL LOOK
we would all
(eventually)
be the spitting image of BIGFOOT

Just like the aggressive
chest-thumping
barely evolved past apehood
species that we are...

And wouldn't the Victoria's Secret fashion show look funny then?
