Omnibus Drink Selection Happy Hour by Randall Rogers

Into conscious

mechanization I

pour


into the fluid life

of a margarita machine

solid state

meandering

pulse

free to ripple


surge develop

ice cube

sugar electricity

spark enough

to blow our minds

to smithereens

weeping depression

melancholia

restricting life support


till visions

and breakfast

pull us all back


from the brink

of sanity

still breathing

pure magic.
 
 
 
 


He is Randall Rogers, visionary poet of the prairie. A cowboy, yea, a beatnik; a Beatnik Cowboy. He is an old young, sorry. Here he exhibits new work. More flashes in the pan. I hope the world, nay, you editor, approveth of seeth/something here. (Currently reading "Pilgrim's Progress") Adios! I kind of reworked these to work in booze but they are total virgins (never put out).
