DAVID GERARDINO Poems

THE drunk has intercourse with
his booze, his old man face is
flush, and his feet shuffle like a
duck on the beach.
...

IM a cartoon character
with lanterns around my
tent.there are zebras who
gallop like horses, and bark
...

spin docters with medieval dogma,
Antiquated answers from a babylonia
fool, words that melt just like ice cream,
and a funny moment filled with deceat
...

THE child sits naked and beat,
by a man who calls himself the
king, how sad the fat king thinks,
not even jesus will dry those tears,
...

THIS darkness splinterd my light,
leaving my muscle and bone sore
to the touch, but alive, still your
beatifull shadow breaks my fall.
...

WE fattened this love, like
a preacher man on sunday,
we fed it, gave it a name, then
had it blessed, just in case
...

COLLECTED secrets with rubies,
and belly-up laughs, a hero sits
with a carrot in his mouth, and
a street light in his eyes.
...

theres a yacht on this boulvard,
and a overture pounding in my
head, theres a gypsy with a upside
down cross, and a clown to set him
...

ADRIFT, with my chaotic struggles,
i collapse into a bipoler ghetto, and
find broken strings, and dirty books,
and a friend with black smoke....
...

FACE the situation with your
cocktails and cunning art, stand
with your hands in the air, and a
white flag tossed in the mud,
...
