and

The March 2018

irreverent review

of taxi drivers at

Rapid Taxi, Rapid City,

South Dakota, USA.


Motto – “We'd rather die than go off the road.”





APOTHEOSIS


We're shot like a

missile

into this life,

our trajectory

must end,

spent

in an

explosion

into death

and worlds

unknown

experience-able

or not

it's best to

go in clean,

unseen,

by all but

the watching

judgmentally

your corpse

rot.





FACEBOOKS


New world

mathematical

firebrands

bewildered

meeting

slide-rule geek

Gods

and complaining.




LOCUST LORE


Why not the

intelligent

insect?

Ever try to

lose

a swarm of

mosquitoes?

Prevent a

buffalo gnat

from

kamakazing

up your nose?

Hide

underwater

from

a horsefly?

Kill a

dragonfly

with

anything

but your

windshield?

Escape from

a crazed

June Bug?

Don't tell me

it's instinct

these critters

can read!

A “Scowling” Mustache


I get poems

out of what

I read,

and

think about,

usually just

a line

or a phrase

sets me off,

and I write

expounding

upon the idea,

the notion,

attempting to

flesh it out,

to capture the

kernel

of truth

or humor

signifier images.

That's why

when

I heard

the phrases

“blithering idiot” and

“incredible butt-head”

I had pause for concern.




“HELLO, NOT MY DAD THOUGH!”


If you're that old

and not dead,

you failed at life.

You failed at death.

Jesus!! Suicide

if you have to!!! you failed!

Bein' grandpa cool

Gettin' to God

is better than

gettin'

your ass kicked,

in the nursing home!

By some

minimum-wage bum

flunky pissed off

because

he can't afford

rent!

or clean water!

For'christ's sake!!

Let's be free!

Nobody can

stomach,

that ugly truth!!

Jesus!

When they asked me

if

I could live my life

over what

would I do?

“Voluntary death,”

I responded,

“at a

much earlier age.

A much

younger age.”

Take my advice!

Whenever

the

extra donut

arises

choose gluttony!

Eat the whole

box of chocolates!

All Drinks from

now

on

one more for the ditch!!

'Why not?'

the new,

'Might as well'

refrain!

They tell you

“don't get old”

nobody listens!


Me


I believe in

the unbelievable

because science

has so repeatedly

been so absolutely

wrong,

in the past

in the present

folks

rationalize

attempt to

justify their

wrong ,

as right ,

in inverse

relation

to its

believe-ability.


When examined

most 'truth'

turns out to

be a most

egregious

conglomeration

of lies,

facts not

facts but many

minute falsehoods

Piled higher and

deeper as the

experts maintain!




THE DECLINE OF HISTORY


Reactionaries

vested interests

status quo

scoundrels

seem

to win

every battle

but lose the war!




Shiva


Even

if we

didn't

have

Earth


Though

no

Terra firma,

body-less

pure

spectrum

surf

I

need

brain?




Sinless


Christ coming back

is genetic

re-constitution

of humans;

believers, that is,

when God destroys

the world,

walk free.

Cleansed

on earth

thru Jesus.




RUNNING THE RAPIDS


If I looked into

the mirror and

thought

I looked good,

that would change

next time I looked,

the view would not

be the same,

meaning is a

swift current

the brain

editorializing

trickling

streams

to mighty rivers

an

inevitable

volcanic truth

spilling. Maybe.
