Mister Ponderous’ “Underpants Song”

Mister Ponderous occassionally scratches his chin hmm
there was thing. He is prone to pontificating
on the most arcane of subjects, especially
ones wherein he felt he was something of a gourmand.
When he moves in his vast leather chair
it is like an exclamation of air,
“Not so much harrumph as phzzzt, preposterous,
energy must have some source.”
They want to take the ego out and replace it
with some vague theory of nothingness
in pursuit of zen
moments of laughter,
you could try that.
Some ironical twist
and a change of voice.
Omelette Antihaiku.

“What’s for breakfast, Blue” (for a threelegged
dog tribute poem double self
portrait with hinge.. .
you can’t make an omelette without
you see some of us were born to trouble
son when seeing flocks of sheep idly
graze on each others thoughts
in fantasy fields of gentle lies
agreed by some mere mutuality
can’t help but bark and it’s your
job, Blue, to get ’em moving in the other
direction, they’re headin’ for the gate, boy,
even it means the only friend left to
talk to is you, Blue,
he says,
melting butter and chopping garlic.

Roll up roll up says the old priest staring into the mirror
and wiping away the teardrop tattoo again,
just another Friday night,
play that reverse
again,

stumbling into haikus,

who, haha, drunken master style,
some antihaiku drum solo
Takeshi Kitano style
someone has to expend energy and someone has to receive it
and somewhere cracks a whip
otherwise yeh dead son
roe your boat home
stumbling into haikus
and scaring flocks of birds a’flyin’
leda abandoned into zeus

who gains most from this transaction
the one who acts from
some wild reaction?
then trapdoors open
of their own accord
and spiders scuttle
thrust their way inside
some skull,
long after worms have left
even of its ghost bereft
the hanged mans corpse
mouth wide open deep
inside some diamond glitters
the pirates prize,
shining like Blake’s tigers eyes,
who gains most from this transaction,
the one who acts from wild reaction.

The Japanese pornographer crossed her long legs and smiled. He won’t go a cent over fifteen thousand she said.
Hector was dead by the time Simon got back to Brisbane carrying the suitcase containing both the film and the fifteen thousand.
She had fingernails he slurred at the Brazilian stripper later that night and each of them had a different animal carefully embroidered.
He woke up in a different city in a room with just a Japanese woodcut of a wave over the bedhead, there was a knock on the door and that was that then, he said, as I reassured him, don’t worry the warden has seen fit to provide a brand new kit given the incidence of sickness, so a Japanese Wave tattoo, as his veins swelled, there must be a story behind that,
