Wounded

My cat has
the genetic code
of a goddess,
and the claws of
temporal queen
which should
remind anyone
inclined
to apotheosis
of regression
toward the mean.

[Camachee]

brought up
the by-product
of middle class malaise
and bowling alley mentality
i pictured respectability
as a country club
under an august moon

[Camachee]

i should write
the sounds
i hear
of fuzzy guitars
romanced sitars
and strummed balalinkas
let loose
in a market
of barter
and better
ideas
