expecting everything that comes out of his head
to be f 'in brilliant would be more than a little redundant
in theory if not down right ignorant of the reality
the dim bulb burned brightest at night with a glass of red wine
while the ambient temperature of his brain
was a cool ninety eight degrees and the wine
served only to warm his toes and fingers
both of which were numbed from the neuropathy
of overdosing on alcohol binges intermingled with
poisoned rat treats which were suitable for eating
or breathing in a small but enclosed tomb with a dozen twinkies
(Twinkies will stay fresh for thousands of years)
like the one his remains remain preserved in
and although
the embalming process has not yet been completed
he still looks like a million bucks with his plaster of paris
replica of his spleen and his appendix which were both removed
by an over anxious doctor of medicine
when he was younger and more agile in his ability
to maneuver in and out of traffic jams just outside of san diego
with the aid of a talented twelve string guitarist
and a hemi head two door sedan licensed
in the name of the late james dean and his mother
who had always claimed he was their love child
though his adopted dad insisted howard hughes was his dad
and recalled stories of obsessively long trips to the bank
to cash the checks which were then used to pay
the zombie milkman and the vampire maid.....
both of whom had never met one another.....until now.

well, that was a mouthful (that's what she said) . Glad to see you could bring the milkman and the maid together, and pay homage to Twinkies all in one sentence. F'in' brilliant, at any level, in any reality.
'THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE' and certainly not something anyone could ever accuse you of....also, you're a hoot, Mr. Story Man..marci.xox
Nope. She won't have changed her mind. t x
I was going to comment but after reading just below, i just can't...he has no good to say of anyone whoever he is.Look at the well known names in here, Trade? ? if ever there were to be one known as a 'site downer' well, it's arrived and that's not mentioning content of saids words! ! ! ! So much for peace and kindred souls at PH. Great poem anyway, I'm just ashamed to write above the one below. ~~marci.: (~~

AMAZING - Absolutely amazing, that you can cover a lifetime, from birth to love to facing death's ugly face, and manage to do it all in one sentence. But what does that leave for you to cover with your next sentence? This is just f'in brilliant, or would be if it weren't a little redundant in theory if not down right ignorant of reality. Loved it.
