As It Happens All Around Us

over the sea’s…

under the darkened clouds

 a passionate angel with wings

dominates the weather

and sitting in a lotus position

I can be found

tearing up

at the beauty of the woman

I adore

(I don’t adore much

but when I do

it is with

all

of my

heart)

the concrete around me

begins to rattle

like a martini with an ice cube olive

and the clocks lose all of their

arms and legs

but the faces remain

with dumb roman numerals

trying to show off

for the hell of it

all panic now,

the towers of phony architecture

falls in a neon green heap

nuclear wasted and cigarette smoking

I heave peace signs

at the local officers

who demand an apology from me

but she’ll be waiting a long time

for that to come her way

she, a paper rose with no scent

of honey to breath in

but see here now

the clouds part like a woman’s legs

and flowers in flames leap out

of that sugar hole,

pedals fall around me

and my lady,

dressed in a thorny blouse and a hat made of butterflies

simply sings a tender song

and smiles at the horrific fire that

rises

like a phoenix in a water balloon

so give me that kissing epoxy

from your soft contented lips

your Easter bunny love 

that I can hold in my hand

as all hell breaks loose

but it is you and I forever

riding that wave to stage right

and we are survivors

of the Fathers wrath

and your breasts swell

and my chest

 heaves and ho’s

and we’ll be just fine

you and I

just fine
