The Drunk Mason and the Stone Carpenter

Gee was a man who built teepees

out of planks of quartz, ground, shaved

sanded and drilled by his brother

Smokey the Carpenter:

Gee called Smokey the bee boy, though no one knew why

as he was his younger brother, and together

they roamed the towns around their

home, nodding and whistling, Smokey with

his calabash pipe puffing like a chimney

and Gee pulling down his mad mead.

From Marysville, swinging down to Delltown

they knew the way to Jack’s Bridge, to

Zoox Dam way up by the Great Sea.

Beyond the valleys, rivers, all could see,

the grand designs of these mad monks,

the loyal duo, brothers, who built these teepees of quartz.

Gather Around the Magnificent Troggle Tree

A & E’s Trivial Pursuit

my GENE took the Clay Man, rubbed him

in the dirt, packing him up against

the loreli tree to form a reedy, leafy skirt.

when up slivered the babbling birdy, its wings

all broke and hurt, through the spines

this waxy bark climber had 8 eyes fitted

upon a smiling rainbowy shirt.

a salty taste shot up into the spiraling

umbrella of yellow earth, radiating reds, blues

and golden arrays of intrinsic arching worth.

then down came the olive rain, the sky

grey and inert, and now we see the evening

nodding in its stony entangled flirt.

In The End . . .

HOME BASE SAFE
the goldsphere solid imploding into light
reflecting and refracting in hyperparabolic
flight, this night the ALF and the BEZ take
fright to a new chromador, a gate birthing
shadows into a lone goldball racing and
chasing its utypical shadow in dreamscapes,
sandscapes and the blue sea beyond the
valleyways of the golden sunshine known
planely, simply as 2B HOME.
