STEVEN J. FOWLER: MUG

MUG

To decide to become a philosopher seemed as foolish to me as to decide to become a poet.

  Karl Jaspers

because needs are a decision

One will have One
a human foot? rather prison

fun for the better ones
a kind of people, Royal cockney

women by with armpits, skin & short & curlies
peach scented await our return

hide our women away in bedsheets
put them on hard horses

selling soap from suitcases
like the legs of a duck, we are the flapping

no shame to never win the dressage
kicking the boy in his teste-grapes

a eunuch royal, the horses back, our greatest ally.

LIRIO

Querer ser un filósofo me parece tan tonto como querer ser un poeta.

Karl Jaspers

porque nuestras necesidades son una decisión

Uno tiene que tomar Una
¿un pie humano? mas en prisión

hay diversión para los mejores
para una clase de gente, el Noble obrero

mujeres comparando axilas, piel y cabellera
que huele a durazno espera nuestro retorno

esconde a nuestras mujeres entre las sábanas
ponlas en caballos indomables

metiendo jabón de contrabando
como el andar de un pato, nos vamos contoneando

no hay vergüenza al nunca ganar la corrida
pateando al chico en sus pasitas

un noble eunuco, vuelven los caballos, nuestros grandes aliados
