Category: Poems
As of October 2011, I’d posted over three hundred poems on this site, including many sonnets and search poems, as well as numerous poems that didn’t make it into chapbooks such as Abendland and Morgenland. I then ceased posting poems here, choosing instead to distribute them via my poem of the week newsletter. Then I stopped doing that too. Every now and then I post a poem here … but not as often as I’d like.

Stars & Stripes

I have seen things you do not wish to see, in any theatre, not even in war. Together we have seen & done what few could ever imagine, even inside these dream machines. The men emerging from cubicles with their dicks hanging limp & out. Or the couples fracking with impunity by the dance floor.…

You seem to believe that you have a right to live in a world where you still get paid one thousand times a day or even more for the three chords you banged out (by accident, might I add) on an ageing Casio synth in 1986, & which later on was used as an obscure…

hills without trees and dried-up rivers intravenously wind their way through towns verging on sleepytime status as down in a park people light barbecues or play football ruckmen and rovers all blend into one in the twilight as seeing the ball gets harder noses get bruised laughter echoes down concrete canals from under leaves and…

Brace-face

The day I got the braces put on my face was not the happiest day of my life, to be perfectly honest. In fact, it was horrible. The weather was wild and windy, and the procedure took about four hours. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt. It hurt like hell. Once they…

The latest song of the week from Parry Gripp is a cheerful tribute to that baby monkey riding the mini pig … Our facility is USDA and FWC licensed and has over 20 years of experience. We are a wonderful facility, torturing the baby monkey and baby pig and laughing about it. The monkey clings…
