Gonzo Feline Dream

8/3/2015

A poet spends hours sewing a costume for A Midsummer Night's Dream while listening to Tom Waits and The Doors real loud.... HEY! This poem got published in Jersey Devil Press's January 2017 online journal!
And then AGAIN in Leopardskin and Limes in Apr 2017!

Gonzo Feline Dream

The cat will only
eat ballerinas now
I brought home
just one tutu
and her blood lust
laid it down
like sunsets in soup cans
our supply hits
hot rod tail spins
so we roar off
through all deserts
breaking cardinal laws
speeding records
principles of physics
she smokes and tells me
we should only eat
what we can catch
sets her iphone GPS
to the nearest grand ballet
I let her drive, kick back
and drink a rootbeer float
as time drifts off
in melted desert skies.

I write and perform poetry. I have been published on many websites and print publications at various times throughout my life. I live in NYC where I also create as an actor. Acting makes me forget that I'm a poet for long stretches of time. But I mean to work on that here: I'll be posting old poems, new poems, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!
