MORE ABOUT MY NOSE

BEAT POETRY

My wife says

I have pretty eyes,

also she says

I have great lips,

too bad.

God put this amusement ride

that I call my nose

right between the two.

God has a sense of humor.

"A Good-Talking Candle"
I had a good-talking candle
last night in my bedroom.

I was very tired but I wanted
somebody to be with me,
     so I lit a candle

and listened to its comfortable
voice of light until I was asleep.

"My Nose Is Growing Old"
Yup.
A long lazy September look
in the mirror
says it's true:

I'm 31
and my nose is growing
     old.

It starts about
     an inch
below the bridge
and strolls geriatrically
     down
for another inch or so:
     stopping.

Fortunately, the rest
of the nose is comparatively
     young.

I wonder if girls
will want me with an
     old nose.

I can hear them now
the heartless bitches!

"He's cute
     but his nose
is old."

LEXOPHELIA

BEAT POETRY

ABOUT WURDZ….

I suffer from LEXOPHILIA.

An incurable condition, I fear

Yet far better than lexophobia.

I’ve always liked werds.

I like how they are spelled, mispelled

Used, misused and abused.

Wurds is werdz

Unless ewe bee mee

Then they bee toyz

Play wit dem

Arrange dem,

Anounce dem

Pronounce dem,

And fine alley…

Denouce dem

Clobber a sill ah-bull or too

Just tween me an yoo.
