Who was singing when NY burned and Rudy played the violin?
What if Augustine never lived to dream up Bosch's hell?
Why didn't we listen to Julian instead?
Why did we have to wait for Aquinas to reason?
…and Patrick, what of Patrick?
Where is his loving God currently?

The Babari no longer bark at the
they are already here and living in
Wouldn't you if you could?
Wouldn't you want to also?
Imagine yourself in the Cadillac
…you never knew you wanted…
Believe me!
I saw it on Murdock's Network Panacea this morning!
Every Episode is now available on Blu-Ray DVD
with Bonus Features and Short Subjects!
and Cool enough to include
Chapter Selections and Out-takes!

What will we loose this time as the End-Age whimpers
for the Middle there may never be?
Thank OUR GOD I am musically challenged;
I won't even attempt to play the violin.
Even when I have the urge
to purge or blog about it.

I have no idea who to vote for at this point…
Whatever happens next the law says:
The Cheerleader must go
whether he wants to or not
Anyone know how to play the violin?
I'll give you my vote for old times sake
then we can all sing along
and follow The Bouncing Candidate!

I'm so disgusted, I would go live with the Penguin's
but paradise is crowded with vacationers now
So I'll just sit here, writing and watching
the weeds die in the road leaving only cracks
as The Aqueducts fall prey to the New World Order
humming to myself in memory of The Bee's
marching numbly, blind as a bat's carcass'
eaten by Guano and Oxalates
on the cave floor of 5th Century Democratic apathy
a posit of unnecessary grace
~
Don't kid yourself, the panacea is prevalent and your poetry is proof!
its lack of fame condemns this age
I would print this out on acid free paper
place it in a sealed vault in the mountains
but that I'm afraid it might become Canon
to some L'enfant terrible Civilization
~
This side of the
the Vandals know!
Patrick! Patrick! Where are you today?
…lend me your skinned skiff
I'll paddle home gladly to your adopted
and try to be fearless in the face of God
When he comes to call and reads the Good Spell
out-loud while you play fiddle in the slower Antrim style
~
I Graduated from The Junior "Collage" of Apathy TWICE!
I am an educated watcher with diplomas to prove it
When my living Civilization dies
of late Antiquarian Sisyphean
I know how to shrug it off…
but If Augustine can confess so too can I!
…I don't wish give this world to my children…
I believe as Julian did; and Pelagius said it best
only good deeds and rigorous asceticism can save us now…
~
Play that Fiddle White Boy! Play!
Wade in the Guano! Your World is Tumbling Down!
Follow the bouncing Candidate; record it all on TiVo
so your descendants can watch it from their bunkers
Someone threw your fiddle in the Guano man!
…the birds on the middle panel of your triptych are singing at last…
~
It's taken 7 years for me to mention 9/11 in a poem
I've been busy working for change
Rigorously
I'm tired of good works and Good Spells
So you tell me… Who the Fuk are you going to vote for?
I'm done with marching, its time to pray.

A yellow jacket is trapped in the decorative bowl of my ceiling light, pacing back and forth like an innocent con in his cell on death row, and I ain't gonna do nothin' about it. 'cept maybe write another goddamn poem. It just goes to show ya'! Larry Rapant
I'm removing the yellow jacket now - deader'n a door nail - from the decorative bowl of my ceiling light. I will transport it, in a dirty yogurt carton, to a little spot in front of a birch tree in my woods that I have picked out for its proper burial. The hole is dug, with a teaspoon, the jacket laid to rest, then stabbed for good measure with a cross. Finally, the cross is buried, the urine is sprinkled on, the appropriate curse words are spoken and I back away from the site and tumble down into a gopher den where I am mistaken for a spinach plant and utterly consumed. Amen. Larry Rapant
THE HERBIVORE
I does luv
to git my ass
high!
