Apollo

Will you sing for me
if I **** a goat for you
will you heal me
for two or three
or will you just
stand there a statue
regardless of how much blood
pools at your divine feet.

Fill in the blank

when the music blares
And you keep talking
I make up your lines
You say really mean things
when I can't hear you.

Janus

two faced
by nature
A smile and a frown
would be typical
for an actor
what two faces
would a god deign to wear.

In increments

how you change
by and large
is bit by bit
you are what you are
till you are something new
maybe you can feel it
maybe you need a mirror.

Fatherhood

my mother always told me
if you want to be
A good father
watch Steve martin.

specifically cheaper by the dozen

who am I

Palpatine eyes
and a grimace
mixed with
pale flesh
a mediocre shave
but just
on the surface
underneath
Underneath
well
nothing much
just me.

Poet ship

Down the rambling river
we go full of drama
and curiosity of the soul
will wit keep us afloat
hopefully yes if not
at least we'll have fodder
for a tragic new play.
