2001 It’s Cute with Beef
It’s cute with beef
Let’s come together and be one
In saying something stupid
Let’s let our hugs outweigh our words
The warmth and fuzziness, a protective fur
The freedom that agreement lets you feel
Feels itself to be real, if not useful
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty little bitty peeps
It can be captivating just to watch them sit
Billions of dollars spent in development
Trying to find out what they like
It gives them white T-shirts with crap on them
For all of them to buy
Sit sit speak no more
One is at his feet, one is on the floor
That one’s cute with beef, give the other pork
Deck them out in rings and dye
Phillip Morris rich on June Cleaver’s sighs,
PAY ATTENTION TO THE ADVERTISEMENT, THE RICHNESS OF DESIGN,
MAKE THE IMAGE FLEETING, MAKE THE PRODUCT FINE,
It’s great, it’s fantastic, it’s real
Let my love loose on this one here
I connect, I relate, I feel
Hurry, hurry, hurry to the store, to the rear
Gargantuan gregarious nihilistic nefarious bastards

2002 Wisdom
Wisdom
There is milk in my shoe.
The trashcan has not yet moved.
A chair with two legs is really a broken ladder.
A computer is empty when the power is out.
Three monkeys and the Jones boy have pondered the matter.
Sometimes people stare at things that attract dust.
Cold and delicious plastic has made millions of children happy.
The love of a pig can be found in your pickle.
Carpet is really permanent dirt in the color of your choice.
When one cleans their hands, one trains bacteria.
Where the light is rare, I am tired and sleepy.
In the future, farm animals will fax love.
There is a third world republic in my nudity.
A sentient being will sometimes eat what it cannot digest.
Most followers of Christ own things.
A war in a country of plenty will get you laid,
But a war in a country of less will get you high.
Democrats will blame the pencil,
And Republicans will blame the paper.
The first line will be a general statement,
And the second line will either contradict or compliment it.
The first line will compare,
But the second line will contrast.
When white people adjust the color,
Black people will adjust the contrast.
The trashcan still has not budged.
An intelligent person may raise something to kill it.
The lactose intolerant crave milk and feel left out.
Some people would rather have a successful enemy than a successful friend.
Some people will risk the future for the moment.
A museum and a baseball have very little in common.
Would you like to have a picnic on me, I said.
Thanks to modern technology, humans are the only predators that do not hunt,
But graze for their meat.
The trash can not.
1 2 3 4 7
While evolution naps, culture has the run of the house.
Seven is the most special number because it has two consonants.
Zero counts for nothing.
No one pretended.
Sometimes things mean something,
Sometimes they don’t.
No pun intended.
In an overpopulated world, the intelligent tend to have fewer children,
So the future tends to belong to the stupid.
White people have made certain that only black people can say n*****r politely.
As long as the threat of rape exists,
Women will require the protection of men.
There is magic on the day you turn twenty-one,
The booze fairy sprinkles you with the maturity required to become inebriated, responsibly.
When something is not spiritual, it is a hobby.
I wrote a poem about two days ago,
About how in two days I will refer to this poem.
In the far past,
Toilet-like creatures bred us to keep themselves full.
All life is a reaction.
I was going to bring you some distance from me,
But I dropped it on the way.
One cup of coffee is worth two apples,
But one pop tart will get you three cups of coffee.
The farmer’s son has eaten the farm.
I sleep when I’m sad so that I can be awake when I am tired.
The name of a hole is denoted by what creates it.
The last line may have been an ambiguous reference.
You may be wondering just how this will end.
