Stealing Flowers From The Gas 'n' Go

Iggy Pop skull ring advance

we should have rented a swan boat when we had the chance

ending up in a big butt-naked pile later

with the people who bill their

pre-Haakon VIII business trips to the ballet to the company

My family has finally moved

from beta to VHS:

a graffiti-can hiss of topicality

released into the poem!

Entertainment don't come easy

but it goes oddly off-topic this time of year

so no local parade will go uncancelled

It remains to be seen if people will go ape

over my savvy ticker-tape recycling

The girlfriend's a Vanderbilt

who isn't a nag

but rather a genius in preventive maintenance

she hasn't always been this cost-neutral

but the way things have been happening ...

is the recession breeding a new kind of relationship survivalist?

Fey action territory ethos

camo'd between Edmonton & Hobbema

all extraneous thoughts lost in the driving to our rendezvous spot

in a historic Beyond Possession tour van

carrying a tasteful selection

to be placed in a dixie cup

and presented to a Helena Bonham-Carter-type literary agent

in a Bonfire of the Vanities manuscript

unpublished by Viking Funeral Press

Stay At Home, Go Out

I don't like

the use of

the phrase

"puppies"

pertaining to

inanimate objects,

just drop it,

already!

I'm shelving

my wild trophies

everywhere

now that there's

no trouble down

at the old mill

but I'm still conjoined

by history, friend-

ship, economics,

and all the things

you can't point at

on the world's face

I Have A Rendezvous With Anamorphic Widescreen

"My dad was a circuit court judge

who settled all disputes

over the phone in a

bathub filled with gin

Since he's been gone,

no matter the condition

of our kinship,

he still always tucks my mother in ..."

The Nihilist Spasm Band is much better than the Raging Grannies.

Why Would Anyone Ever Want To Leave Saskatchewan?

Peanut butter kills people, and families. I mean

families kill people just like peanut butter does,

I'm sorry about the confusion. Our governments

kill the people that loneliness doesn't manage to.

Strident? No thanks, I prefer Dentyne. 

Did you ever think that some people choose the

unsung? That they don't need the grand 

boulevard? A place to escape the straw polls?

It's a place Voltaire would have liked,

in fact, it is much like him, kind of flat, but en-

lightened. 

Factory Seconds

for Chris Gaudet

An unroyal fog

envelops Kingsgate Mall

as the Industrial Revolution

continues unabated.

The liquor store is full 

of empties ...
