He was not especially handsome, he was not especially smart,
A great big lumbering fellow with a soft and tender heart.

Morning was her favorite time of day. Night was just a space between sunset and sunrise where people snored and snorted and sometimes got pregnant.

There were more mice, and more mice,
and more and more mice,
and by midnight, there were close to a hundred,
slidin’ and skatin’ on the waxed wood floor,

This much we first

Tried to eat every doughnut, Dunkin could make.

I Love my rice, with all sauces, lentils, chicken or plain,
I love to lick my Kulfi, when it drips and i catch -
the falling drops onto my tongue as it melts away
swiftly.

Ice-cream, doughnuts, candy floss,
Sugar dummies, stripey rock,
Fish and chips on cardboard trays,
Treats galore to stuff our face.

Every morning, I feel tired, to go down through the steps
Tired even if it means just to reach the escalator
Drown to a total frazzle, like a man that never slept
Enough lately. There I toss the drained, carton coffee cup.

At sunrise often may his voice be heard
As jauntily he wends his homeward way,

for the bus to school

A Warning About Donuts

Never ty to ring donuts
Pigeons' legs - yes.
...

Difficult time again for you;
no safe haven for you to go?
Where are your friends you call true-blue?
Some friends! You can search high and low
...

O come buy doughnuts
doughnuts
doughnuts
doughnuts for sale
...

In the right corner sits the rebel
Blowing doughnuts with smoke
Slitted red eyes
Searching for a high that doesn't recognize
...

On the road….drifting between cities and corners..
On the path…cruising between forests and rivers..
On the alley…shifting between take- outs and stake-outs…
On the prowl…looking to nail a buyout…

Stanza on two places
the moon down beats a beat
on her shiny skinless drum
she beats a tune with without a beat
...

when the dog began to sing
the people ran amok
a man shinned up a flagpole
a woman chewed her sock

children danced the drainpipe
a policeman robbed a bank
the mayor and all the councillors
fired doughnuts from a tank

the queen embraced the dustman
the clergy showed their knees
librarians in their thousands
begged mercy from the trees

the dog sang in the market
it didn't understand
the panic and predicament
it'd loosed upon the land

its head had always been
a lot where songs were parking
but when it tried to sing
the noise came out like barking

maybe this time the air
crystal-clear since rain
stripped raucousness to leave
such a melodious strain

none could bear the sweet
enchantment of their ears
dogs sing - then pigs could vote
such an avalanche of fears

they called the army in
to ring the singing dog
with cannon mortar small-arms
they shot it dead as a log

but when the log stood up
and sang a christmas song
the people fought themselves
over what was right and wrong

so harsh and hoarse they came
(to beasts within their hearking)
when they joined in the song
the noise came out like barking
...

(an ascetic poem for karen's birthday)

fancy having a birthday on a thursday
when you do the buying of the doughnuts
and others lick their sticky fingers
thinking good old karen letting
us share the eating of her birthday

not me of course - i sit at home (alone)
reflecting it is purification day
today and i do not have a doughnut
thank you karen for letting me have
a taste of self-denial on your birthday

and such a spiritual gain- in this way
you and i share the high-church position
while others lick the sugar off their lips
guzzling their souls away benightedly
with you great circe in your birthday play

luckily i have no envy of doughnuts
i sit here (alone) appreciating the pure
a step aside from doughy lust and greed
enjoying your birthday in its proper light
-a time of abstinence starvation longing
...

In a precisely lighted room, the CFO speaks
of start-to-start dependencies.
Says let me loop back with you.

Says please cascade as appropriate.
It's that time of morning, so we all can smell
the doughnut factory. If scent were white

noise, doughnuts would be that scent.
The factory won't sell at any price.
The building next to it burns the animals

we experiment on. I have worked
on a few preclinical reports in my time.
The rhesus monkeys become

so desperate that they attempt suicide,
over and over again. I am legally obligated
to spare you the particulars.

How could things be any different?
Here many choice molecules have been born.
Here. This pill will dissolve like sugar.

Your last five months will be good ones
...

Tingle my taste buds for it's that season,
To joyfully indulge with adequate reason,

When Winter's gone and sprung has Spring,
...

The heron resolves itself from the gray lake the water
conversely the woman dissolves in sex, her own
...

The Pontalba Apartments in the View-Master
and the cardboard cathedral as if trapped in the dream
twenty years early, the whole a furious search
...

A drive in the country on this crisp sunny sparkling day
Snow laying on the vast expanse of fields beginning to melt
Leaving patches of bare faded brown stalks of a harvest long gone
Countrified roads and lanes that were recently awash with a frosty icing
...
