Holiday Treatment - PopMass Style -
{From Entirety - pmpope 2009}

trip the lights over a silvered garland tangle
as certain moments erupt
(eight toed-skink & hula albino)
You must hang fire
Jolly full of holiday folly
call it a wreath of holly w/ berries
lay it upon the mattress of time
for the dark nighted wynter
bemused of silent family cruisings
apply an extra finger to the nog
Turn on the light
inside your 'art
softly, tenderly praying
the angelic hosts
to scorch & torch & toast
everything not made as work
of the Divine in this season of joy
no one needs a money grubbing martyr
needlessly nodding
in a parking garage of life
spent in solitary hunt & peck
for the next chunk of sky
to fall
in the form of a government check
there is no intrigue for the corrupt worldly
a stale crust of week old pie
as the last object consumed
takes its' place beneath the browning tree
buried by squirrels;
forgotten by January
HO! HO! HO!
You can't spell 'Merry Christmas!'
with an 'x'
acrost your heart
May as well
drop your coin
on the dark horse
take the ride
& shine the light

Earth Without Form

2011-12-22T01:01:00.000-08:00

hours and hours from the sun
called into being by the one

more dead than alive by the looks of it
hopped up and strung out on earth credit

love for love they’d exchange their spark
on waves; on beaches; through freeway parks

acid rain soothes the dawn
along the bank the carriage drawn

never before and never again
would the atlas break back the long lost dead

Ramboed out a couple of guns
to deliver a fine, fine death to the devils’ flood

never before and never again
would the rose dare whisper what the wasp had said

a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
for the Buddhist & Muslims & Opus Dei

never before and never again
could they bust the rock off its’ orbited spin

11:11 - make a wish

2011-11-09T08:45:00.000-08:00

for once to find one heart
twice to never part
nor seeking fulfillment
in empty arms
to lie
in an uncomfortable bed

to be explained
by contributions made
to the greater good
and shine the light
which travels a-far
even though long gone
past the dying star

to love for love's sake
without price
eternally wrapped
in that last kiss
good night

Pulling up to the red light
in a nondescript sprawlburb
I notice a man sitting at the corner
With a bucket & a squeegee.
He runs up to cars & offers to wash
Their windshields so they can see
Where they are going
And all the marvelous things
God has prepared for them in this
Journey of life where only the smart
& the strong are necessary to carry on.
'What a good man.' I think to myself
With a slight brush of my hand
I acknowledge the wallet
Resting plump against my chest
In this wallet
Are pictures of my family,
My reason to be,
& also plastic cards
They equal so many pictures
Of dead presidents.
I think: 'It's a good job & tax-free to boot.'
The man spins his sign
In some hispanic language it says
Something about: God Bless You!
I think: He is loved by God
What good is my money
To him?

Blades clogged with wet grass

the sun has risen
a rooster headed Bostonian
squats in Terrier fashion
to the beat of well-oiled machine

the sun has not yet begun
to char its' flesh
what works these mama fields
before running them cool streets

the sun is on the one
whose eye this thick, wet grass
as a lover
lying in wait
to feel his whirring blade

Everybody and their mother is attempting to extricate FREE content for some reason. While some misguided, albeit kind-hearted peeps, think it in their best interests to 'rule' the literary and artistic scenes with heavy thudding and bumbling of the bygone days & carnival styled crapustic infrangelary dangly-bobs, others sensing their own mortality slip sliding underneath the bathroom door to funnel along the grommets of a well-caulked life led in vain taste the vile spew of re-cycled spew and swear on a stack of dimes that they are gonna damn sure get theirs before kicking off this big blue mud-ball.

Rumors have circled high in the noon-day sky as to the who/when/where/&why of how it all has got SO outta hand. These come from the wastelands and drop dead on time to resuscitate all yr holy rolling Rosicrucians long enough to get the final breathe of truth you thought ya'd never hear sworn on a stack of bibles by a bear in its' underwear and a top hatted Boston Terrier who keeps the butler in line.

Playing the chalumeau to the sub-division traffic for all the HOA committee members to put themselves to sleep at a quiet little Polockfest on the wrong side of Amsterdam's red-lit districk, one is able to notice the promalificant as well as the down&out hebbie-jeebies come rousting out the dusky rays of OH,... Suzanna, we barely had anything for each other when we were together. Now it's even worse if you'd only think about the scaly conditions of your mother's henchmen before they tried to make out like they were gonna let her in on a really good deal. Even her best friend has commented on several occasions 'He's a big, ol' liar. That's all he's ever known. That's all he'll ever be.'

To make a long story short this is what happens every day; to every body; in every city whether they write it down or not. I thought I'd share it in case someone was able to come to terms with this before they take a long dirt nap or as we were so fond of joking in our yout 'Take a long walk on a short pier with a lighted porch into a gasoline sea.'

I plucked the following from Daily Encounter:

According to Bible scholar, Mark Hitchcock, "Jesus' return is explicitly referred to 1,845 times in the Bible—1,527 times in the Old Testament and 318 times in the New Testament.²

"The second Coming [of Jesus] is mentioned in 23 of 27 New Testament books.

"Out of the New Testament's 260 chapters, there are 318 references to the Second Coming.

"Jesus' Second Coming is mentioned eight times for every reference to his first coming.

"The final prophecy of the bible deals with the Second Coming of Jesus.³

"People are exhorted [encouraged] over fifty times to be ready for the return of Jesus.

"Jesus Christ himself refers to his return twenty-one times."⁴^,⁵

Gone but not too distant. Here at the remote studio (East Coast)
3dge D8t8 Range & their trusty dog, Rocky, are recharging for
the upcoming events. Rocky is doing a little garden. & PM is
contemplating the life giving rays of the Sun.

If you are to set out seeking

your fame and fortune

in this really cool modern world of today

I offer my sympathies

for the dagblasted mess

we have left this work area in

being younger than us

you will be wiser

and therefore

more considerate of our short-comings,

as far as this topic is concerned

We have nor make any excuses

for the savagery hacked

into the core fibers of civilization

In your youthful all-knowing

you will credit time's swift passage

as being one of our most immediate

and mortal shock-points

while examining

our trespassings
