for PATTAYA TRADER 152 (C)

A-HORIZONTAL-HEAVEN
I look deep into her blue eyes
where blue seas meet blue skies,
as we lie; like-the-horizon-lies.

A-GLOBAL-GAIN-AND-LOSS?
We are free to multiply.
Free to give the globe a plus.
Free to swarm the earth like flies.
Free to be the death of us?

A-DESPOTICAL-AND-
HYPOCRITICAL-RULE
"Don't do as we do,
but do as we say."
That is the tyrants
who hold damn sway.
That is the despots who
do as they'd not have us do !

BLUE-ICED-XMAS-DAYS
A white Christmas
turns to icy blue.
Frozen fingers
fidget through
the old names
on cards brand-new.
Yes a white Xmas
turns to icy blue.
Ends another year
for everyone who
lives or cares
to see it through.

A-SO-PRETTY-JAZZY-DOLLY
Find she was a Bright-Young-Thing
who to jazz-music liked to swing
in the modern city, grey and dull;
her home in the country just beautiful.

A GOOD-TIME-GIRL'S-DEATH
Legs in stockings encased;
wrapped in a fur coat;
pistol beside the girl's head;
on the pillow a suicide note:
'Find the body on the bed
all debts has now erased.'

ELEPHANT'S GRAVEYARD
Elephantus, with animal-head
and his body of a man
(one of the many Hindu gods
who's worshipped by the Indian),
find upon his throne sits high.
No bone-yard shall he go to die.
