The Empress Lends Her Clothes [Today's News Poem, April 1, 2010]
“Gold, considered a hedge during times of high inflation and economic uncertainty, tends to follow oil and move opposite to the U.S. Dollar.”

“Life & Style magazine claims Jesse James paid for sex. Sandra Bullock's biker dude husband reportedly often visited the San Diego strip club that employed alleged mistress Michelle ``Bombshell'' McGee.”

Disease is just the price of doing business with a slut;
And likewise sorrow follows us, regardless of our cut
Of pleasure—call it love—but still we seek to find and claim
The peace that others promise waits for all who call its name.
The value floats: we gauge its worth by market force demand;
So when that feast of passion's gone and lover's taste goes bland,
We question whether love exists or whether it's deceit—
But happiness defies this notion—losing love's defeat.
We chase the golden mean in search of meaning in the gold;
In search of sign—not signified—and what makes value hold.
These treasures we can only know from inference at best;
And so we play along in hopes conformity has blessed
The others—never ill at ease—at least it seems that way.
And since the other option's worse, along we'll have to play.

the agony of last proofs,
The massive struts and metal support framework;
Inland Empires,
& blast in NYC:
time's running out.
Take 2 lipitor—
There is nothing emptier then a full trashcan.
a road trip Easter basket full of candy
can get up again
can listen to the radio in France
can come only from one place:
Crazy shuffle, eclectic is not the word.
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed.
to burn a flag
to braid my hair
to challenge Red Bull
& reclaim the middle.
Find yourself needing a peaceful space in your day? Enjoy "Beyond Controversy"
A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.
I think I will give up tryin to hit u back
Give up and buy him some cigarettes and a deep fried Twinkie
Return To I Surrender.
