anarchy
Marlene Mountain and Terri Lee Grell

March 17, 1990 - October 23, 1992


news headline about sonia: forget lib, she wants anarchy

planet of the apes asunderground a wimmin's place

unable to grow a baby he's chosen war is hell of a good time

battle of the bulge in his pants fading

secretary's day a flower and more dicktation for typissed

stuck in the missionary psoition for wages less than sin


touching myself in the mirror a linked form endangered

less energy now to push beyond 'signs' to quit

not in kansas anymore belly up in the popies deep sleep

propaganda treekilling a career to hell with owls

soldiers count grains of sand wise men flee

i have come to destroy the works of god*

paper chase at the Wailing Wall missives falling through the cracks

sex tourism yeah tour them jerks off the pretty face of earth

before leaving her lover drops a quarter -- a flash

not over the blues i find a hole with a green sock to it

new world order red sand pouring through the hourglass

friendly fire from smart (ass) bombs


home front dangerous cholesterol level the poems hang inside

winterful of guilt spring cleaning the vacuum breaks

both right hands washed 100s and 1000s cling to his 'slippery slope'

straight flush one tied behind her back didn't stop her

embarrassed again to admit i write haiku with no chance to explain

just to reach out and touch the ankles of the old guard

(yikes)more(fake)freedom(like:us)global(dream-on-sucker)talk(shows)

don't call it spinning a web to trap flies call it networking

you're very welcome I could not have made it this far without myself

all wrapped up in her mother lays the flag on the coffin

red dot on white ache of clean heculture to control dirty shenature

explaining to my daughter the shape of the tampon


turning my head away from the homeless woman she laughs

still able to admit anger is art

content in a room with a vew my grandmother dying

hard now to say earth fire water aire

now's the time haiku spelled backwards is not 'renku'

new paintings: femail boxes and junk male


*after jesus: "I have come the destroy the works of the female" as quoted by clement of alexandria in the "gospel according to the egyptians". R.E. Witt, Isis in the Greco-Roman World, London, Thames and Hudson, 1971.
