G is for geometry
G is everywhere
G is glowing over
Ben Franklin's shoulder
Quick w/ the dip
& improv
in the shop
the orgy in the lodge
of the 9 muses
He watches us
in his apron wig & beaver
If drag queens ruled the world
no kabals no secrets
the temple of solomon
could be re-imagined differently
Conrad: " We need to look at some
chocolate after that experience." A
chocolate ear on a plate is sold as
"The Mike Tyson Special." A choc-
olate man I think is Teddy Roosevelt
is nobody, really. I'm seeing Masons
everywhere.
"Oil Bottle Poems Found in Harry's Occult Shop" by Philadelphia poet Frank Sherlock appears online at the poet's website. He is the author of Over Here (2008) and collaborated with poet CA Conrad on the book The City Real and Imagined (2010). In an online interview in Mad Poets Society, Sherlock commented after a struggle with meningitis: "Well, having the opportunity to have an outlook on life has done wonders for my outlook on life. I think about it less as a battle than a surf outing. Just without the water, the temptations, the sun, or the speedo. But I did have an assless gown in the hospital, which was less comfortable and even less flattering, if you can believe that. Surfing in a hospital bed in late January takes some imagination- or in this case, sick delusions & hallucinogenic painkillers."
