POEMS

SUPERREALISM
First of all I'm naked
while I'm typing this ,
only my rash is airbrushed,
the rest is visceral energy
for my poetry , in this case
depicted objects of tough minded
harsh light that emphasizes
the previous generation of
dismayed bridegrooms at the
altar of the cosmic alienation .
I mean for instance me ,
and Winch, and our contemporaries ,
were tuned up by neosurrealist
poets , trite poets, hardnosed
rugged individualist poets and
ironic pap poets of the 50s and 60s.
We apply the new techniques ,
along with a thorough knowledge
of consumer products that share
the airless synergetic crackle
of methodologies, to our experiences
like cosmetics in the undertaker's
steady but too subjective grip .
