RKS Poetry Anthology: “Slime in the back lanes”

Slime in the back lanes Greasy bacon fat hair Not exactly popularity on the suburban to downtown bus Toothless and urine fumes Scabbed red hands from the Oedipal clasp of sherry bottles Decorated by black nailed claws That must not touch! Fleeing refugees from a spineless napalmed society? Victims of a hedonistic society? All dependsContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Slime in the back lanes””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Legless Lager Louts”

Legless Lager Louts A phenomenon in the United Kingdom I am told A few pints and the timid become bold Occasionally dampered by a police chokehold You see them as tourists in countless European cities and towns in the ubiquitous Irish pub Safe and comforting place to eat bangers and mash grub Eaten by aContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Legless Lager Louts””

RKS Literature: On the Abyss: Murder and Suicide (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)

“They say that people standing on a height are drawn downwards, as it were, on their own accord, to the abyss. I think that a lot of suicides and murders have been committed merely because the revolver was already in hand. There’s an abyss here as well, there’s a forty-five-degree slope down which you can’tContinue reading “RKS Literature: On the Abyss: Murder and Suicide (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)”

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La”

Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La Newly arrived the previous night at the awesome Shangri-La Singapore 27 hours travelling perhaps more Could hardly raise a snore Float half senseless to buffet breakfast at The Line A quick peek on the way to the table My goodness this must be some gastronomical fable Asian,Continue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Where can those Americans in Singapore be?”

Where can those Americans in Singapore be? They choke the streets in Barcelona Making the locals moana They flood Venice and Rome Thank God with McDonalds they feel at home They storm Paris congregating at the Eiffel Tower mouths agape pointing up and down Some locals begin to frown They flock about in London searchingContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Where can those Americans in Singapore be?””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Spare change required for Harry”

Spare change required for Harry Ex-commed by Daddy King Short on cash Time for Kardashian strategy But difficult as no breasts to bare So controversy, scandal, tabloid fodder Skills limited to paparazzi cultivation Must be maintained in the limelight Back in the royal graces your chances are slim So give it all up and partnerContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Spare change required for Harry””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Set the alarm”

Set the alarm Agonizing daybreak Punch your timecard in the slot of mockery Distant from the Club Med Packaged release Can be cached When the rat trap salesman and the countess Frolic in the bathtubs of seedy motels  While fantasy hawkers crouch behind the armchair teasing pulsating veins Praise aortas! Alas it beats Arduously battlingContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Set the alarm””

Honeymoon at Saratoga Springs (Circa 1961) Well it certainly was quite a day Let’s go to bed Wait! I’ve got to brush my teeth You already did Come on why don’t we go for a walk But it’s two o’clock in the morning Oh all right Turn off the light and look the other wayContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Honeymoon at Saratoga Springs (Circa 1961)””

LIBERATION DAY: NAKED BEFORE THE QUEEN: LOSING A BODY PART Bob mentioned to me in his law school days one of his professors told his class the utmost honesty was a must for Canadian lawyers.

Monarchist dribble by today’sContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: LIBERATION DAY: NAKED BEFORE THE QUEEN: LOSING A BODY PART”
