Persistence of Vision

Persistence of Vision

When I was 
a little kid
I wanted to grow up
to be a donut shop.

I thought being
a donut shop
would be good career
for me.  
I liked the color red,
flashing lights,
ladders
and Dalmatians.

Today 
I may work
in IT,
but when people
ask me what I do,
I tell them
I'm a donut shop.

Cyberpunk

He's a cyberpunk
listening to his cyberfunk,
with his interface
surfing the netwaves.
Looking for the netgirl
in a digital world
made of pixels
which he mixes
into his electro-drink
at Bar Cyberspace
in this cyberplace.

Audition

Audition

How deep
does love run?

Daughters
taxi
at airports
for
daddies.

I wonder,
about
French cool
and photo-chopped
shoots.

I audit
not to attend them.

Though...
maybe I should find out.

Tears
on shoulders down
motherless fathers
for the sons whose 
dad's were
bagged.

Audition (1999) is a film directed by Takashi Miike.

In another life, I was a dog

Barking senseless.
Falling in love
everyday
all over again.

There I bit a pound
out of Eliot's 
cats.
I didn't have a reason really, 
other than they annoyed the shit out of me.

I barked at Sylvia too,
to get her head out of the oven.
She died.
The holidays were black that year.

And Emily.
I guess I was her dog.
Running down by the sea.
Barking.
Incoherently.
