AD NAUSEAM
(’78 – ’79) I thought it was demeaning to use
Laurel & Hardy film footage for commercials.

– Madison Avenue’s
corn-flaky mind-set
resurrects Laurel & Hardy
to sell beer on TV…
– It’s not the water.

– One of those Sanforized Sundays…
– Beneath the clanking of my armor
wore peace-on-peace…
– To soothe my wrinkled ego
I polyethylene-wrapped
half a roomful of thoughts,
& masturbated on an idea bed.
– Purple leaves tried their best
but I avoided the woods
of Johnstown, Pa.,
for fear of entrapment
by a band of wandering gnomes.
– Far fetched, perhaps,
but it was fairy tale weather.

///////////////////////////////////////////>>>
– As I contemplate my navel,
with its crevices, precipices,
avenues & boulevards,
I say to it,
“B.B.” – I always call it B.B. for short-
“You’re more than just a navel,
you’re living proof
that we can love in excess,
a recess…”
-“You’re nature’s reminder,
that in this vertical world
of horizontal pleasures,
it’s nice to have
a non-lethal button around.”
