__Diety

If,
and this is one great big IF,
Shirley McLane and 600 million Hindus are right
(and we are reincarnated into anything other than melons)
then I want to apply to Celestial Employment, Inc.
to come back next time in the Diety tax bracket.
I mean, I'm not asking all that
much.

_ Chess and the Jazzman

Charlie Manson mated with Santa Claus
and formed the man
to my right
smoking my cigarette and glancing, glaringly at me.

 _Lingo in Major

And in his withered arms nestled
his child's child,
transcending appearances for something that blood knows,
and in those two pair of alien eyes
I saw a slight grayish glimmer of love,
bouncing,
from this withered beaten skeleton of a human being
to this perfect little chrysalis cooing in his arms.
