Captain Rave
The ship’s broken rubber rudder
destines him to the satellite lands of
clickety-clack, spin, wobble, spin
Murmurings olden tongues
bolden mariners navigate newest worlds
Captain Rave
Black, moldable garbage bags
shield deadly heat rays of summer
Captain Rave
Landlubbers give wide berth
deferentially, under his charismatic,
aromatic visage
Captain Rave
Carrier of treasured acquisitions for trade:
Pizza box covered with ripped pictures
of hungry people staring without
Never empty urine colored
olive oil bottles
Assorted left shoes &
right wing magazines
Eating what others leave behind
cruising from nightly port to port
Captain Rave, he’s the Captain of his cart
Surreptitiously engaged in infinite searches
in bagged goods for a match to your
distant pupating needs
Thinking the better
surveying the roiling Seventh Avenue Seas
he retires to a subterranean estate
Spread cardboard bed
complete with newspaper sheets
He lays to slumber
Oversleep!? … not to worry
the rats are alarming
Unseen water all around but none see worthy
Brew an old recipe from the golden recipe
Amass, compress & ferment
Captain Rank
Smells of what he muss
Reach into the mystic cart
a little punched fruit helps
all the filth go down
Clip, snip, rip coupons
looking for discounts on morality
Plays solitaire repetitiously
Seeking an opponent
In a flurry, furry fury
The new Jester’s balls are airborne
Screaming quietly he feverously
scrawls a note to apologize
to all for tomorrow’s chaos
Captain Rave
In darkest mind
Rave wrests the daggered hand
of pseudo freedoms
Keeper of old troubles
He’s a rancid, rancor, rakish, rapacious
and rambling tumbleweed
Peering out of a stylish powder blue bag
a time hardened pink flamingo
invites the Good Captain
to fly south
Declining the gracious offer
Rave, explained in flamingish
I, I’s, me, we and us
so long ago took flight
us-es were the only to arrive
His cart tied up at the stair dock
challenges every bright-eyed
steel box that approaches!.
The Captain,
pleased at his power
views the boxes aggressive rush in
but always slink away!.
He is the ruler of the under & above!.
Captain Rave!.
