eschewed (gesundheit) the safety net, a monologue

early years later chains saw choked and throttled O lies! lies! lies!

Lon Chaney returns the hunch back the circus bowl of lemon scents

my knave (add sage) Were cranky Ross and stern Guildy gay?

Angels whom no obscenity summons?

My wife's rage Dr. Phibes the labyrinthine pipes play

dance me O Son god little buddha Mammon

Who shot the sheikspheres out out the brief canon?

.

SONNET #2: Teaching in Port Moresby

preaching the gospiels Marley strum and drum drum prophets

Profits the lost, the found, the O ring them bagatelles!

Sunday sails past rascal-filled banana boats mudmen smile

chain smoking cargo cult girls with Maybelline eyes

flotsam boggy mangos riffed rafts all washed up ashore
