Someday

Someday I'll write
an epic poem

long lines
thick pages

my very own
Iliad & Odyssey

but tonight let's agree
to settle for this

you see the job
keeps kicking my ass

& right now
I'm painlessly drunk

& I never said today
would be someday.

 
Incomplete Poems

thunderstorm
mid-june
lightning
at the screen door

*

a heavy metal jukebox
drowning in warm beer

*

the midget at the door
said you'd give me
what I want

*

I tell the cops
she stuck a butterknife
into the toaster.

 

Sniper Clowns

Sniper clowns
are in my yard

they climb trees
they're on the roof

sniper clowns
aren't here

to make me
happy.

 

dig these NEW bart chaps
Sitting in the Last Pew & Vicodin & The Christian Broadcasting Network
get em at bart solarczyk publications...
