The Haig In Me

I’m not asking for your money no I don’t have any matches no lighter I don’t smoke I’m sorry I am just a man a middle class hero if heroes still exist in America sometimes I’m not so sure sometimes I’m not so happy are you a happy camper I haven’t gone camping in years but I’m not asking for your money and no I don’t have any matches even if you offered me money it doesn’t mean I have a lighter I don’t smoke


Literary Pocket Rocket

hickory dickory dock
there's a novel in my cock
plug it in your socket
feel my literary pocket rocket
my 12 in. single would
like to take a spin
on your sultry turntable
scratch your needle into
my grooves
and dig the sounds
as i do it to you
IN THE EARHOLE


POEM FOR A GIRL THAT STRAIGHT UP REJECTED ME

my big dumb stuffed animal face
like a killer clown in a circus mirror
huntin u down like a bum lookin for a dime

u got creamed corn, smoked ribs, AND tangy sauce
and i’m the big bad wolf, baby girl
TIME TO GET ME SOME OF THAT PUSSY

U DONT STANK
U DONT GIVE ME LIP, BUT U GOT PLENTY
DIP MY CORN COB IN UR DOWN HOME GRAVY
AINT GONNA MISTREAT YA JUST GONNA EAT YA
SO PASS THE PEPPA, BUTTER ME UP
THIS NIGGA GONNA FILL UR LOVIN CUP

IT’S SUMMERTIME, FOOL!


Circling Swan Lake

walk through the park
enjoying things like bark
and it’s getting dark
i’m thinking about you, baby
your tight cunt, glistening with angst
me, circling swan lake
like some kind of faggot ballerina
watching ducks go
“quack quack quack”
it’s a QUACK ATTACK!
i want my money back!

I just stop for ONE HOT SECOND
and breathe in country air
and think about machines
and how funny it would be
if there was a duck machine
like a mechanical duck that you wound up
and it had a little baby duck tail

but it’s autumn, my sweet flower princess
and it ain’t the season for corn on the cob
so BACK THE FUCK UP, BUTTERCUP
it’s time to get a job



Oh! The Horrors

"My awkwardly composed postcards professing juvenile affection, hanging on your walls like an unrelenting document of imperfection / Oh, the horrors of vodka before class!"

Tell Her I'm Dead

It’s 5 am I woke up dead I had an epiphany a purple rose a circus show is lying if front of me I wipe the tear away from my eye I ask myself another reason why a little piece of you a little piece of me a little piece of everything has died you go to sleep the doctor weeks we’re doing all we can the secrets we keep the blood on my sheets the knife that’s in the palm of my hand the tears on my face the nights of disgrace the damage that you’ve done to my head tell her that It’s over tell her that I’m older and you can tell her I’m dead

101 Things You Are

baby, you are. . .
the deus ex machina to my trivial pursuits
the knees to my bees
a hidden track on my favorite cd
the lost episode of my favorite tv show
a little baby kitten in my pajama bottoms
a wet dream in the scorched desert earth
a chain saw peepshow in the back of homeroom
murderous screams in tight leather pants
siouxsie sioux’s private panty pantry
a bunch of decimal points, rounded UP
feedback that only the hippest of the hip can hear
a black hole devouring itself
david bowie’s wicked croon
an alien abduction party with skittles & rice
a telepathic fortune cookie from mars
my date with destiny in a lollipop shop
autumn’s first chill between my sheets
he best campfire story ever
the reason i shave
so pretty
so mean
so fucking confusing
the key to a brand new dimension that would make

stephen hawking cum in his wheelchair
pabst blue ribbon, on SALE
a steam powered penis pump under our xmas tree
the loneliest person I’ve ever fucking known
the queen of all the nerds
a sphinx without a riddle
my streetcar named desire, with no breaks
so accepting of my vampire obsession
a hot chick
always there with a bottle of gin when the bartender
makes the last call
my little happy pill
a shit load of happy meal toys
sorta like that girl that indie singers always sing about, even better
a dick in heat
better than pepperoni, cheese, and crackers
a bona fide nigga
happy hallucinations on a summertime night
always sucking my cock under the table at sunday school
this kind of moon goddess
the mother of my little ghost babies
the only translator for my misfiring neurons
a seedless form of birdseed
midnight movie madness in a porta-potty
really fucking funny
cunnilingus performed on some conservative bitch
a legendary hunny
the first newly emerging star of the new wave
the only gal that could make me read for fun
alterna porn with family values
love’s cruel whip, unforgiving but true
the voice of angst emanating from my phone after midnight
the woman I would like to bag my groceries

my obsession
my compulsion
my disorderly delight
french bananas on a thursday night

baby, it’s you. you is. and you ARE. the hostess with the mostest, by FAR.


Abstract Furniture

sitting in this seat is like
drinking gin from a dragonfly’s pussy
it tastes like
david bowie
but china girl was never really your thing

i was never good at spelling beaz
do you spell it “hunny” or “honey?”
i think i had my first heart palpitation in the second grade -
“oh yes, it’s hunny, bunny”

when people fuck on film
it makes me want to puke


THESE NEXT FEW LINES WILL EXPLODE IN 10 SECONDS

but i am addicted to amateur porno
just put a band aid over the red light on your camera
kill me with your language, and exclude your
pornographique coma, you question mark masturbator


Sci-Fi

as the ill-boding odor rises
amidst the pretentious pantomime of banal spires
in the apocalyptic glow of sun's nuclear rays,
he rises slowly from morning's paralysis
and makes his way toward the museum of human emotion and fond affections...

he sees the voguish, art deco-clad bodies
of beautifully chiseled creatures
glide across each other, and the marble floors
of the expansive and darkly lit museum,
aghast, and slightly disentranced with
these depictions of days gone by...

louise brooks coyly poised on silver screen. . .
andy warhol soup cans & silk screens. . .
think white duke emerging as feedback screams. . .
archaic depictions of cinema dreams. . .
....and time's savage jaws have left the 21st century beaten, bewildered,
and dumped in this cyber playground, another barcoded exhibit.....

but the android felt his spirit reach across the sea of time
when he studied the early 21st century artifacts.
then he perspired with phantom pains of remembrance
and for the first time, he was aware of his own existence,
and the betrayal of the Thought Gang.
The images and text from a prehistoric Internet exchange between two lovers
caused his metallic frame to bust in an electro-epileptic frenzy
and his brain cried out for more.

It was quite puzzling.


Letter From A Dying Fan

dear mr. haig,

i’m sick of your fuck. sick of your holy roller baptist tv preacher, gimmie gimmie attitude. you’re a retarded hippie and you’re demanding that we all stuff your pockets full of cash & send you on your way to bed & breakfast in west palm beach. you washed-up rip-off lazy liberal bastard “art-EEEEEST!” don’t bother sparing a dime for the broken back children sewing your howdy-doody “i’m so retro, i’m so punk rawk” t-shirt. . . or the arthritis ridden stock boy that hangs up your taiwanese sock puppets!

you’ve caused me so much suffering that even a needle in the center of my mind’s eye cannot conquer my hawkeye stare into the vast void of deception that is my suicide. you praise women yet claim that they all flood the seas with blood from their miserable mail order cunts (in vain), and you LAP IT UP like a pussy in heat. jimmy haig, you have killed me with lies and raped me with promises of a new candy cane generation of hope, stuffing their rockwell faces with cake straight from grandma Death’s bakery!

go fuck a duck. and drink blood from a dragonfly’s pussy!

write on,

a dying fan


My Art

my art
december 18, 1998

pretense has always been my middle name. i finally admitted to myself tonite that the reason i began writing was to get fucked. i didn't get fucked until i was 18, shortly after i began writing and passing love poems to this fat chick in my ameriCAN history class. she'd always cross her legs and kick her top leg up and down. i always assumed she was masturbating in class, thinking of me and that my poetry was blame for her arousal. i guess i'll never really know if she was masturbating. but people will believe what they wanna believe - one of the many key ingredients to my success. so the poems kept getting more erotic and finally she accepted an invitation to fuck me at my house while my parents were attending a potluck party in the next town. i guess i started off as a sellout. writing poems just to get fucked. i guess it was worth it. she let me give her anal the first time. you know, i actually didn't EVEN enjoy that.

i'm nothing special, really. i'm a poet. i arrange words that most people know, in such a way that gives the illusion that i'm delving deeper into the understanding of the human condition and beyond. what is it about me though... that led me to some kind of.... success. i guess it's the fact that i'm nothing special. it makes people believe me. people don't trust beautiful people. in fact, we hate beautiful people. jealousy is such a popular and underadmitted human "emotion." but anywho, why do you think people liked dylan? it's because he didn't look like elvis. he was the anti-elvis. an ugly guy with an ugly voice, and quite frankly, ugly words. you see, we respect ugliness. it's down-to-earth and it doesn't intimidate us. we love standing next to an ugly person, too. it makes us seem just a little taller.

i don't even care about WHAT i write anymore. who REALLY cares. who even cares about SHAKESPEARE. he didn't write anything that we hadn't felt before. nothing that cavemen hadn't experienced. he just captured it nice in a snobby, expensive frame. and he hung it on everyone's fucking wall so that high school students could agonize over his archaic bullshit drama. a poet only captures the divine, they do not invent it. a crazy brain with an offtrack thought train departs from the station as you and me, brother. even the fake prophet with the dirty afro on the street can dive into that pool of infinite intelligence. it's not about WHAT IT IS man. we know everything that is. we see the molecules looking at us thru the microscope, teasing us with the answers. we know the makeup of every planet and solar system. we know that red and blue give you purple and a dick and pussy give you a lifetime of child support if you're a fucking piece of trailer trash. but why. you see, that's why i still write. i don't care about getting laid. that's why i'm pouring out my insane brain of a heart onto this fucking computer screen. i need to know why i do and why you do and why the eggman said "coo coo ca'choo."

fuck it. i'm drunk and going to bed.


What's The Skinny?

Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy!
Gimmie, gimmie Jimmy!
Oh, Jimmy, oh!
Ooh, baby, ooh!
(spoken ---> What’s the skinny, Jimmy!?)
mommy and daddy, they just don't know

drink your parents vodka,
and you stumble into class
study charts & graphs
then ya smoke yer sister's grass
you hate the girl you love
but ya hit that bony ass

Oh, Jimmy, hunny, why you wanna chainsaw?
Oh, Jimmy, baby, PUT THAT DOWN!
Oh, Jimmy, gimmie, just one more chance!
Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy! I just wanna dance!

You put your head between your knees,
and ya hyperventilate!
You do 10 hail marries,
go to bed and masturbate!
You go to church on Sundays
make a list of who ya hate!


Don't Give Kitty Acid!

don't give kitty acid!
i said don't give kitty acid!

just leave the cat alone, and don't give it acid

hey fuckhead, you gave kitty acid!
you gave my fucking cat a hit of lsd!
that's it, no more beer for you, mister!



Johnny's Got Seeds

weeping willows always look so sad.
is it because they’re really weeping
or did johnny appleseed
or some other wacko from ameriCAN history
just start calling them that
and so now they weep?

L I V I N G U P 2 A N A M E

shut your pretentious tail pipe!
my alternator died yesterday.

even if a pig pulls you over for speeding too fast
in literature class, at least you “did it all for love.”

are you proud, mom & dad?
