HEY JACK - In the style of the "Beats"

Hey Jack J ack, why did you slash the wrist of your immortal muse? Did you stare as Red idioms pooled? Dripping, seeping, spilling, pouring streams of skillful consciousness soggy on the soles of your boots, leaving tracks along Route 66. Allen, the hawk stopped by my garden for breakfast today Majestic menacing brazen magnificent. Can you imagine having Bukowski as your mailman? And what would you Say to the academics when they ripped Billy to pieces, while his back was turned. © 2009 Dove 'Anybody can make Paris holy, but I can make Topeka holy.'" Jack Kerouac

Meeting Kierkegaard - Poetry

Me in the bath, eyes closed, He lounging on the floor, pillow under his head reading Kierkegaard. Happy to introduce us, He didn't know Kierkegaard's melancholy winked at me or how horribly sad it made me feel. © Dove Cochrane

Paradox

Lucy has a headache Lucy is confused Last week she was desensitized, numbed by ugly news. Lucy is a vegan and above her youthful breast, "eating meat is murder" is etched across her chest. Lucy hates Republicans, Lucy says fuck those who wear fur. She loves a good hunting accident, it's Karma if you ask her. Lucy is peace loving, Lucy wouldn't hurt a fly. Then she turned and walked away, her husband left to die. ©Dove Cochrane
