for PATTAYA TRADER 174 (C)

BLUE-TROUSERED-BELLE
He's home from the navy
for a very brief spell.
His girl grabs her guy
by his jacket's lapel,
then cruises on a kiss
the bell-bottomed belle.

QUESTION-EVEN-ME-SAID-
THE-NIRVANA-QUESTING-BUDDHA
"Question everything, sure,
then question the question,"
I once overheard
in a buddhistic conversation.

THE-ONESIDED-WORLD'S-
OVERHEAVY-OVERTURN-VERSE?
Where there is love
the balance is hate?
Where there is good
the balance is evil?
The early bird gets worms out late,
beware Saints the imbalanced devil?

YES-LIKE-A-DOCKSIDE-
DAISY-ARE-YOU
You are my port of call
and I am your sailor.
You're the torn nylon-stocking
and I am your taylor.
You are the cell's open-door,
I'm the key and not your jailer.

BOOK-BURNER LOOKS
Communists burn books,
fascists sure burn books.
Fanartical Islam's burning looks.

VANITY-IN-VOGUE
When it comes to spirit
she is meritless,
though materially
she's a success.
She lives for cameras.
Let the film roll.
There's a tribe says
pictures steal your soul.

NEAR-THE-OTHER-SUN?
Are we the other world
to some out there?
Are we the alien beings
to some by another star?

Maybe we are way ahead?
Might we be behind, perhaps?
Neither planets to come close
like the sun and moon in eclipse.
