Ode to Liza Minnelli
I spray Paint Your Image on The
Graffiti Mural'd Walls
Between Dundas West & Keele
Subway Stations, As a
'Red Headed Beggar Girl'
Crawling Towards Me on Your Knees,
Against the Backdropp of The
Copper
Metal
Chasm?
With My Black Eye Liner I Draw You
As a Crude Stick Figure on The
Smudged Up Mirror, of a
Filthy Public Washroom,
I Finger Paint You as The
Forbidden Modern Primitive!
Wintering a Tropical Soundscape of My Heart,
I Scribble You In Gold & Silver & Violet Crayon
On a Pink Piece of Construction
Paper,
& Magnet it on My Parents Refridgerator,
& Wonder if They REALLY
Like it?
'There is No Chosen Race in Nature'
….The Droppings of Last Weeks Trip out
are Still Scattered upon our Floor,
You Stand, Sandwhiched Alone Here, WHOLE!
In a Divided Kingdom Between
Heaven & Earth! Death,
& Re-birth!
Ready to Flee away from Me
With Shelley's 'West Wind', You Stand!
Knowing
That 'The Elements in Modern Society
Destructive of The Best Qualities
Of Human Nature'
Have Been Laid out Mercilessly
For our Insatiable Eyes
Countless Times, You Stand!
Hands on Hip, Knowing that The Wise
Words
Of the Greatest Souls who have passed
Through this Terrifying
Place
Have Fallen Upon Deaf Ears,
You Stand for 30 Years! Where only The
Holy Ghost Shall
Shall Come upon Thee,
All the Infinite Beasts of the Bitter Fields
Yield to Ye!
She of the Serpent Woven Skirt!
Your Tattered Robe is The Whole World!
& I'm Dying to See you Shake it Off-
You are 'Something Words Could Only Caricature & Diminish'
I Can't Help but Masturbate,
Watching
You Make Love to Life!
I Look at You Young Liza Minnelli & I See My DESTINY
My Future, I Think?
You're the Lode Star!
& Doomed Salvation,
The Aromatic Essence of Green Blood
Red People Smell when Dead Birds Start
Falling from the Sky-
The Incommunicable Pain Soothing
Transcendant Bliss,
The Attack of The Hunch Back'd Creep!
The Random Attack of The Nitpicking
Couch Potatos-
The Attack of the Self Injurers,
The Attack of the Bull Dyke Heterosexual Men Kissing
At Picnic Tables to the Ewwwwwwws'
Of Spectators gathered, which
Includes ME!
Massacrerer of Liberty, & Childrens Toys!
Let's Impregnate the Distorted Music
Of Complete Silence
With a Single Collaborative Word, ``Let us
go where the omens of the Gods and
the crimes of our enemies summon us!
THE DIE IS NOW CAST! '
Let's Solve 'The Mystery of The Leaping Fish'
With that Fiend
COKE ENNYDAY!
Let`s Defile Our Chapped Lips with
The Cold Soul of a Defense-less
Creature!
Let's Commit Harakiri, & Do a
Hart Crane!
Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Glenn Gould, Alice &
John Coltrane,
Charlie Parker, Keith Moon! Cliff Burton,
Maria Callas, Nicolo Paganini,
Randy Rhodes,
& Janis Joplin are Battling Pythagoras,
& His Followers tonight at Massey Hall.
You See How I Now can Bring the Poem
Back from it's Wanderings,
To Where it Supposed to Be?
-Everything is Moving in Stop
Motion-
You have NO F##king EQUAL!
To You, Dear Girl,
There Can NEVER! BE a Sequel!
Our Smoldering FIRE!
Can Ne'er Cool to a Fine Ash,
RUTHLESS TYRANT,
The very IDEAS of what it Previously
Meant to Be Women & Men have been
Dramatically Altered!
What it Means to be a 'Human Being'
Is Next! ?
'Would it Be permissible for a
Miseducated Alien to try to the
Truth & Beauty Pill'?
Old age is Savagely Beating,
Beating! BEATING! ! !
Our Fleeting Beauty & Youth,
To a Bloody Pulp!
So we Must Make Haste,
Because We're all Innocent Little Children,
Infested with Microscopic Bugs!
Being Molested,
BY the Perverted Hands of Time!
O, the Crude Violent Colors!
Lo! 'The Horrible Honest Toil'-
Hark! The Hot Cubicles of Diseased Pepper! !
'Alas! The Hopeless Wretches'!
can our Broken Snow Flakes still get Hung?
Must the Bewildered Music of The Bruised
Articulate Oboe always
Get Smeared
BY
Grotesque Monotone, Liza?
Must You always Remember the
Unforgettable times You Opened up
Your Audacious,
Permanently Sealed Mouth
To Speak!
& A Million Different Exotic Birds
Flew out.
Must our Samson Always get Seized,
By the Philistines,
Like Gondolas in the WIND?
