Addictions (6 lines) A Golden Stater born and bred, I never eat a meal that lacks a salad-without greens, it's not complete. My gal's from Texas, and her tastes and mine don't mix, for I'm a slave to chlorophyll; capsaicin is her fix. The Gym Teacher's Sudden Bust Reduction (15 lines) She hadn't any choice- the biopsy had made that clear- and yet she wasn't sorry that she had it done. She'd sweated off each needless ounce of fat, and cut her hair and nails, and now she felt the process was complete. Her goal had always been: eliminate whatever isn't muscle kept in perfect tone. They'd tipped her balance on the tumbling mat, and flopped around when she was on her daily jog, and bunched against her swinging arms, and throbbed with every impact of her chest on the uneven bars. The way she figured it, she'd gone one better than those Amazons who lopped off only one to ply their bows. The Choice (350 words) It's not irrelevant, believe me. If you're a writer, the choice you make may tell you something you'd never know had the issue not been framed this way. CHOOSE THIS: You live every writer's fantasy. Your books make the biggest hillock in the barnyard, and hardly anyone hears the other cocks for your crowing. You win every prize, including one or two expressly invented to further populate your groaning trophy shelf. Third World villagers who know no English know your name. Each morning, a coin toss decides whether you wallow in royalty-generated Kubla Khan pleasures or write a few pages toward financing more. Every writer's fantasy…while you live. Before your skin gets pricked by the embalmer's needle, people start to wonder why they ever liked your books. Ten years later, the billions of copies you once sold are, respectively, in landfills or in the afterlife for deleted e-books. While your literary contemporaries are having their centennials celebrated, your name is a cipher to your own great-grandchildren. OR THIS: You live the tragicomedy of a person who fails at the one thing he cares about-in this case, being a writer. No play or film script of yours is produced, no book released from any of the dozen publishers who hog The New York Review of Books. On your deathbed, you wish you hadn't bothered. Then a few mourners talk about your work, and influential friends of theirs seek the few volumes they can find. And a cult becomes an industry becomes a mass movement. Your stories and characters end up as common references, and you contribute more familiar phrases to the language than Shakespeare and King James combined. In the distant future, successor intelligences, organic or cybernetic, think fondly back on your work after having neglected the other artifacts of Homo Sapiens. THIS IS THE CHOICE. The greatest possible appreciation, all now or all posthumously. What if your career must follow one and only one of these paths? Don't say it's not realistic. Don't say it's not fair to ask. CHOOSE. Marshall M (6 lines) Dear Marshall M has passed away, His musings in abeyance; His relatives and friends receive a presage. To hear the last he had to say, They soon arrange a séance; As one might guess, the medium is the message.

modern verses for tears after a certain interruption people have symptoms of analgesics of a search for money of a desire to be not for profit how to be able to take what is needed when being for profit and not turning one? good small black dogs are not cheap to set down on a front lawn clean as a red bicycle all the good home movies are just of children doing nothing with the fresh snow melting on their jackets in the future everyone might drive cars as sensitive to fate as makeshift wooden sleds that is the problem with wanting control is the skill of letting go is considered obsolete what is to be done when everything breaks down? when the music crackles apart? when the hand drops the ball? remember not to hold on for life while it is still dear or all of us will circle time in the same old clunkers forever ------------------------------------------------------------ super power in an effort to stay alive our hero recycled all of his inner resources to rekindle that uncanny ability of never giving up on giving up what he loved, which was the agony of each ray gun boring a new warp in his spine, the hair of a gorgeous woman floating on a pool of blood under her cold skull, and his belief that no one in metropolis cared to estimate the heart of its loser ----------------------------------------------------- the plaque on bob's memorial in the middle of the mourn... he'll be here stiffening flat against this flower lousy earth as the chisel plows black all the goddamn soup crying night here lies bob taylor his cock was a wailer, a blind teiresias blurting out heavenly soothsayings that made terrible swells in a head soaring above such old, wrinkled dugs a black girl once said he should do porn that his parts were beautiful business people calling in connections to rise up in the world, sharing their private jets with anyone willing to open their eyes to such slick propositions others simply could not pull themselves together without the thought of bob stirring up great sorrow with that butter churning eye of his twitching above a mouth whispering to say the flames licked the wall is not a personification of the paint peeling inside of us bob loved to laugh the punchline of that aborted fetus joke made even the most bereaved wail even harder, making his work that much easier... where he got off gracing our faces with such brilliance, we may never know for certain if possible, bob would have wailed at his own funeral the warm, tumbling blues, dangling coruscant on the edge of his cheek as that timber made thing slithered into the seventh rib of the earth, would've been worth every zero since bob is not here, & neither are we, rest here a moment take in this memorial of a t-rex sodomizing a sick triceratops after all, everyone tries to atone for the tiny shriveled things near their hearts that always seem to come in twos. bob did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bio: KJ is a common man without fanfare.
