In Miniature– Sort of a Monster Mash-Up
Plymouth Rocks, the Grey Album
by cocteau
“All wordz/ belong to all people [‘cept these].â€
— Marty Esworthy
History, c’mon, tell me a story: GAUL!
Three parts! Yeah, one part pet rock,
two parts, poison-dart. Mais, dans
l’obscurité, tous les chats sont gris.
…
Those flowers in Spring:
a search for luv & glory,
m-m-m-my time, your time–
m-m-m-my time, your time–
of a moment, of an aeon,
of a rhyme. Like a rock.
…
These things/ I offer you
for a lifetime. Time has come.
…
Sample this: my time is your time.
Like glam-rock, or, fraggle rock
simply, irresistibly, irrevocably
Green Prell. & so fine.
simply, irresistibly, irrevocably
Green Prell. & so fine.
…
Yeah! You’ mama! Mine,
mine &Â super-fine! Hunh!
Motha-fuggin’ Yank in a clanky old tank
zo, how how, how-how, howhow
Motha-fuggin’ Yank in a clanky old tank
zo, how how, how-how, howhow
how-how, how do/ y’like me now?

hi, cocteau! i totally wanna make love to this poem! i feel as giddy as a bashful schoolgirl. i’m especially tittilated by fraggle rock&glam rock in the same line. this fondled my funnybones!
ever so thankfully yours,
c
that is sa-ho satisfying to read out loud.
Great rythym here. It’s like a Quasimofo w/ less quasi and more mofo.
wow. green prell. that’s a blast from the past.
In the caves all cats are grey–my favorite song by the cure.
p.s. how dyou like THEM apples?
Some parts are so ‘out loud’ spoken word and yet others are so visual custom made for the eye-cooties. Stream of conscious from the subliminal unconscious…always a pleasure to read. Mash-up boomfest. Damn, i guess when a woman comments that she’d like to make love to this poem that’s the bestest compliment ever. lol.
this poem gave me a boner. there, now you know i’m actually a guy that just seems like a girl.
