a Long Tedious Semi Spontaneous Reference Poem written on Halloween
 
  It feels
as if I knew U
in a Past Life!
U could have been my
Sister, Friend, Cousin, Mother,
Girlfriend, Lover, Or Wife!
All i know,
is that your Definitely
A Kindred Spirit! !
But I don't remember,
Vlad thee Impaler,
Impaling on Spikes, Whole villages!
& our time as North American Indians,
During the Greedy White Man's
Pillages!

I don't remember
the 'Love' & 'Pain'
that we experienced in Spain!
Seeing the Tomato & Bullfights!
through thee eyes,
of a Drugged, & Drunken,
Baby's Brain? ! ?
Outside the Dali Museum, In Figueres!
Violently making love
in the Rain!

& 'U'
Don't remember,
The Divine Inebriants of Heaven & Hell!
The Garden of Eden!
Us having Blonde Hair, & Blue eyes,
While Living in SWEDEN!

& U can't remember,
Nero,
& The Burning of Rome!
The Battle of the Gods!
Getting 'Ruined',
In Ancient Ruins!
Baby, U Can't even Remember,
Receiving the
Black Hooded Executioners
Shiney Axe!
At the Haunted Tower of London!
& The 'Evil' Inquisition Judges,
of The 'Holy' Catholic Church!
Us
Being Crucified
on Wooden Crosses!
Listening 2 the Sounds of Space,
Aztec & Mayan Soothsayers!
& Us Drinking Bootlegged Liquor,
Eating Hallucinogenic
Roots & Berries!
Beaming up
2 a land of Mystics, Maidens, & Fairys!
While picnicing in Central Park New York!
In the 1920's
Hiding From the 'Pork'
Moments of Realization,
Really seeing,
What's on thee other end of the Fork!
Me telling U
'If Anything were 2 happen 2 me,
or if I was 2 go!
Don't forget me!
Because even if I had
Alzheimers,
I couldn't Forget U! '
& Our Time as
Dinosaurs! Leopards! Neanderthals!
Birds! Elephants! Monkeys! Pandas!
Foxes!
Sloths! Lions!
Butterflies! ! ? Penguins!
& Fish! ? ?
& The Time we spent
as a Dying kids Wish!

& 'I' can't even remember
Auschwitz!
Mesopetamia!
& Babylon!
& I can't even remember
The Eleusian Mysteries!
The Milky Way!
The Torture Chambers of Europe,
& The Middle East!
The Burning of St.Joan & The Shaolin Temple!
The Renaissance of the 1500's,
The silver paint, the tin foil wall paper,
& The Breath taking scene,
of Andy Warhol's 'Factory' & the Taj Mahal?
& The exploding plastic inevitable!
The Rue Git le Coeur!
The Beginnings of Afro Cuban Jazz, & Bop!
The Six gallery 'Howl' Reading!
The Doors, Zeppelin, Motley, & G'n'R
performing at 'Whiskey a Go go'!
The U.s Government
killing
JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon,
Countless Black Panthers, Unarmed
vietnamese Civilians,
Lee Harvey Oswald! David Koresh!
& Malcolm X! ! !
The Ken Kesey merry Pranksters Acid tests!
The 1st,2nd, & 3rd Diwalis! !
'The Human Be-in'
Pink Floyd's 'Games for May'!
Woodstock &
The Pop Festival at Monterey!
Studio 54! !
Us living in Skull Mountains!
African Tribal Drums
whipping us,
& Our Now Extinct Tribe!
into Shamanic Ecstasy! ! !
At Celebrations of Existence!
'The Resistance'
& The Red stars,
Blue Snow,
Gold Water,
Pink Moons,
& Grey Skies,
of Andromeda! !

But I can! Vaguely Remember
Clashing with Cops, & Looting Stores!
During the Rodney King Riots!
The Blue Jays Winning the World Series Back 2 Back,
Toronto Losing it's Mind!
Us Being Lynched by the Klan! !
Walking the Plank!
Picking Cotton!
Making the Pilgrimage 2 Mecca!
FACING THE FIRING SQUAD!
& The First time U ever called me
your Man!
when we were armed with Samurai Swords,
Smashed on Sake,
Writing Haiku!
& wearing Kimonos,
IN the Floating World of Japan!
.... When the 'Black Ships' Came.

I can Clearly Remember
us & our Families
Dying From the Plague!
Whoring ourselves
on the Cobblestone Streets of Prague! !
& the Beauty of
Napoleon, Robespierre, & Tallyrands,
PARIS!
When I was a Libertine!
& U were an
HEIRESS!

& I know this long, Tedious,
Semi-Spontaneous,
Reference poem, Sounds Bizarre!
But I'm Not Tripping out!
I may B wearing a Strait jacket in an Asylum!
But I'm not 'That' Insane,
2gether we really experienced
all of this Sh#t!
Only it was
'On Thee Astral Plane'!

I love a poem overloaded with allusion: ] And the sarcasm wasn't half bad.
