Science Fiction Woman
She was my science fiction woman,
I was her science fiction man,
Yet our love was no fiction
In our science fiction land.
I wore my science fiction spacesuit,
She wore a spacesuit just like mine,
While we were floating together
In our science fiction minds.
She said her name was Taylor Trippy-
A flower child light years beyond-
She was a science fiction hippy-
A spacey and vivacious blonde.
She told me of our global warming,
Greenhouse gases, acid rain,
She told me everything I know
About the structure of the brain.

The Secret Revealed
The whole world is retarded,
Proving once again the infallible
Law of attraction of the prey
Attracting the predator,
And the predator attracting the prey.
But if you vibrate at a higher frequency,
You will only attract the lower ones,
Because the universe levels
Everything back to its retarded
State of perfection.
So you repeat again and again:
I'm stupid yet I'm perfect
Out of the fullness of my stupidity.
In the world where ugly is beautiful
Many doors open up everywhere.
Because it's all a matter of quantum

Siren's Dance
She's a psychopath, now married to a geek,
Who brings the bacon home every week
From working as a local data dork,
While she just loves not doing any work.
I wonder why I loved this girl at all,
She is always thinking big but acting small -
She's better off being married to a geek.
It isn't love or honesty she seeks -
She only takes the most that she can get -
The little dork is just her little pet.
For if her equal were to challenge her,
She'll see her real self and want no more
Of all her games, control and jealousy.
But she'd rather be a little girl,
Living inside her childish little world
With a much younger prepubescent geek,

The Origin of Species
A dinosaur with feathers
Became a bird one day,
And with the warmer weather
The mammals came our way.
Some comet hit the planet
And dinosaurs were gone-
That's how it all happened
Millions of years ago.
Wild creatures roamed around
And ate the dino eggs,
Some close to the ground,
And some with longer legs.
The flora and the fauna
Exploded with a bang
With ferns and protozoa,
Then came the whole shebang.

Number Debate
Once pi and i had a debate
About which is better
A square root of minus one
Or being a Greek letter.
'Be rational, ' said i to pi,
'You make things complicated-
No matter how they measure you,
You always come truncated.'
Said pi to i: 'So what, my friend,
It's really no big deal-
I'm transcendental unlike you,
And you aren't even real.'
'But if you want to be exact,
Then you come nowhere near
To finding areas of disks
Or a volume of a sphere'.

He Was Known For His Ability
To create nonsense, come such
and what not (flailingly
and surreptitiously) he
was unopened, when she
(darker than life) underwent
through the narrow passage
of his undergarments, kimonos,
cheese sandwiches and galoshes-
it was really spectacular,
come to think of it,
as the crowd cheered in horse-
like procession-
it was all in the wind,
the chains, the valleys and
the lonesome meat grinders
swooned like a pack of
wild elephants and tearful
virgins, what if, what if,
reverberated now and then-

Some Women
Some women are like poison
That stays in your bloodstream
For many years,
Telling you remember me,
Remember me-
I'm the one who slept with you
That night, engulfing
Your manhood and ripping
Your heart out,
I'm the one who made you
Lose sleep and obsess
Every night over that
Fatal encounter when
Our paths crossed and
Our lives meshed,
And we promised each
Other the world-
And then she leaves you,
Making you cry, blaming
Yourself for something

Places in the Heart
There are places in the heart,
that are still unmarred by
understanding -
those places that we have
kept hidden for so long
from all those prying eyes,
prowling in the darkness -
There are places in the heart,
filled with childhood memories
of laughter and joy,
hope and new beginnings,
those places that we revisit
secretly and tenderly,
those places that make us
feel alive again -
There are places in the heart
that know no boundaries,
no limitations, but unrestrained

Take This Body
Take this body, my love,
my body, my love,
feel my knees and my arms,
feel my fingers on your hair,
cold fingers, sad fingers,
kiss my mouth, my love,
ever so gently
caressing my chest and stroking my hair,
play with it-whatever is left of it-
I'm sad, my love,
and as I hear you laugh,
I feel the water around my eyes,
my brown eyes, the eyes of a poet,
the eyes of a stranger-
I'm a stranger, my love,
I'm a stranger in a strange land
of secret kisses and lovelorn faces,
of cold bodies huddled together,
hiding behind stiff dresses
and tightly fitting jeans,
