I wish I had an angel friend
January 17, 2007
I wish I had an angel friend
to watch over your tiny travels –
to walk with you through wander worlds
of daisy, stream, and meadow.
I wish to have an angel friend
when it becomes your time
to go exploring on your own
to catch you if too high you climb
above this grownup world of pace
too fast to see my child’s face.

what the HELL does that mean!!??
QUESTION AUTHORITY!!??
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!
But Dad…
WHAT IF THE MEN ON D-DAY
QUESTIONED AUTHORITY!!??
OR THE SOLDIERS FIGHTING THE INDIANS
QUESTIONED AUTHORITY!!??
or the Hitler Youth,
or the Conquistadors,
or the Crusaders,
or the…
“SMACK” the big open hand hit his young face with a single head turning blow.
GO TO YOUR ROOM – MISTER QUESTION AUTHORITY!!!
AND THROW THAT FUCKING BUTTON IN THE GARBAGE NOW!!!

I am no better
or worse
than others.
I do not pretend
special powers
or treasures
to inform you.
I can only tell you
what I think,
not what to think.

see what eye see:
one school shooting

What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
pushed through
its fragile shell
overwhelming
all that exists
above the big hole.
What if bricks fly
like leaves in a hurricane,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips paper.
Will you hail the second coming?

Diner Diner burning bright
sober beacon
drunken night.
Java Java steaming hot
swore I wouldn’t
drink a lot.
Eggs Eggs slimy soft
all too soon
I send aloft.
Run Run for the door
retch my innards
to the floor.
Wake Wake tormented head
sweating gin
wish I were dead.

why a following
and not faith?
why signs
and no horizons?
why flesh
but no sight?
why not faith
and no following?
why not horizons
with no signs?
why not sight
but not flesh?
