Poem For Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen

And Doc Holliday’s last words

With a spoon up the nose

And pipe up the sinuses

Leave it to the crazies to tell us the truth.

Leave it to Charlie

To pull the shades down and show

The buboes frogs

Painted on the inside of our lids.

If you have the floor and no one to say ‘no’

Why eject the same ol’ same ol’

Out the pie hole?

Go ahead, pull up the floors

Let’s see the sucking snakes

Speaking in to wooden heads

On gears

Spinning in perfect circles

Telling us all to:

 “settle down everything is just fine.”

In the top layer of public madness

The heads bob in braids of gold

Then drop in to the cheese.

Three headed dogs get promotions

To the assistant to the assistant

And speak to three cameras at once

Using used saliva to make sure that we:

“Settle down …Everything will be just fine.”

Fill the till Charlie

Reload and tell everyone

You aren’t done

There is a last flash left

In the paraffin fire.

Your life is long enough

And there are tongues that need burning.

At least you won’t waste our time telling us:

To settle down, everything is just fine.

No nursing home

No clouded eyes

No whistling white ants

No vine rotting in brine

No not seeing an obverse to this world

Claiming to be cream pie.

Just a mountain of snow and bimbos

In an unremembered heaven.

Where opiate trees rain away the pain

And we can all say like Doc Holliday:

“This is funny.”
