John Clark und ze Funnies

behind
reaching          was aching
been real shore the solar thong strung
ate in silence with the mouth
aching the tens of tonsils terribly
unbosomed the secret to the crew
it grew sudden to show a green leaf
bearing bouquets of knees
bird calls boil the vortex'd & vex'd soil
with anklebones of a well-turned heel

pigeons pulse of city      the manholes scab
pile re: aching
pillory misery with public abuse
via transit sub station
         conspiring to violets

way down low in th'buried creek
notes tell tales on the pianopoly
spavined spiv spinning slowly
limp-wristedly lifts his finger, points

"up above my head I hear music in the air"
bog thwarted          the bank robbery
moctezuma mxyzptlk anandabijou bizarro
out of ideas come rope

& lonesome as the last of the galapagos
kamandi sits on fatfat          smokes
our guy refutes
squats & shoots
smile superman hello
