No Crab

Whether it's Crab soup,
or whether it's crab cakes,
whether it's crab puffs
or whether it's crab flakes

crab gumbo or crab dressing,
it's all the same to me,
for crab is crab is crab
and I detest the taste.

Philip K. Dick

There is nothing fantastic or ultradimansional about crab grass... unless you are an sf writer, in which case pretty soon you are viewing crab grass with suspicion. What are it's real motives And who sent it here in the first place It only looks like crab grass. That's what they want us to think it is. One day the crab grass suit will fall off and their true identity will be revealed. By then the Pentagon will be full of crab grass and it'll be too late. The crab grass, or what we took to be crab grass, will dictate terms.

The Grinning Crab

Come with me, said the fish to the crab
and I will show you a cave where beautiful coral live.

When do we leave, said the crab to the fish
and tell me what I should bring.

Just bring a sense of adventure, said the fish to the crab, and some sun tan oil

You forget, said the crab to the fish, my shell is thick and impenetrable by rays of any kind.

What about the metal-tipped arrows, asked the fish of the crab, from a cheeky cherub?

Oh they don’t stand a chance, said the crab with a grin.

The fish, having eyes that could not blink, felt the molten tears sting his star-crossed eyes.

The Murmur of Spindrift

A crab walks straight to show its offspring?
Life is an Ocean and we are waves.
A constant flow to the weeping beach.
Beach struggles to grab the waves but fails
and the foam smiles.

Lame Game

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same...
A lame game!

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
And the game
Being played...
Is so lame!

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same.
A lame game!

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame,
And the game being played
By the players who play...
Is so tired and lame anyway!

And lame it will stay everyday!

'Cause they 'got no' shame
To play such tired games
Knowing it's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
And the game stays the same
'Cause no one wants to change
From a game that is lame..
And each day that lame game,
Stays the same!

The Little Crab

As the little crab climbed
To the top of the basket
Hoping to make an escape
The bigger crabs pulled him down
And when the consignment
Did reach the market place
The Fisherman’s son was delighted
To find a small crab in the bag
He picked it up carefully
Drooling at the thought of soup
But this time the little crab
Reacted fast, he bit the boy’s hand
Falling quickly to the ground
As the child reduced his grip
Undaunted by the crack in his shell
He scuttled away in search of
A safer place, far away from
Fishing baskets, boys and big crabs.

Green Circle

You are peeling me off
like a crab.
Time has sunk very low.

For the hungry kids
who was growing crab apples?

Creating art,
arriving between the pubes.

A microfossil
roosting within me.
I could live without oxygen.

Incandescent,
the liquid wounds.
I will not send any salvo.

Night In The Wilderness

I could he sitting on the left of you.
Youd be looking straight ahead.
If I was adrift right across from you,
You still would cut me dead.
Ive had better deep discussions
With this plate of soft-shelled crab.
Id put some spice in your rice.
Youd give me blues in the stew.
Id give you catfish jumping.
Youd give me all this work to do.
Whos got the cheque on this hot dinner?
Whos got the tabs on the crab?
Another night in the wilderness:
Should have been a night on the town.
Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down.
Im in splendid isolation, feel that heavy silence fall.
Got all this cut out for me to do.
Another night in the wilderness of you.
Here I am drinking you with my eyes.
Youre looking at the gravy on my bib.
I go weak-kneed at the suggestion of you.
Whats wrong with the cut of my jib?
Is there a lobster in the offing, or just a fifty dollar cheque?
