street names, a la hai ... ku [bless you]
barcelona street:
there's no south barcelona;
why is there a north?
tarragona street:
the oldtimers will always
call it railroad street
zarragossa street:
one r? two r's? no s's,
only z's? who knows?

[untitled]
scumbled galloping hoofbeats
of a thousand gleaming black steeds
white moonlit foam streams
from a thousand glossy flanks
to the cold hard sand
of a thousand gleaming black steeds
white moonlit foam streams
from a thousand glossy flanks
to the cold hard sand

Dreams for barking dogs
from BotF Poetry Slam, 2-27-2006
raccoons on the roof
the pizza guy at the door
cats rabbits burglars
chasing the prey of his dreams
the sleeping dog barks softly
raccoons on the roof
the pizza guy at the door
cats rabbits burglars
chasing the prey of his dreams
the sleeping dog barks softly

Rottweiler puppies
large bumbling clumsy
fierce cute
try out needle sharp teeth
on the table legs
on each other
Persian cats
regal in flowing coats
of tabby and smoke
try out razor sharp claws
on the upholstery
on each other
puppies get hookworms
leaving bloody diarrhea
on the Bokharas
cats get hairballs
vomiting them up
into your shoes
small but inconvenient
facts of life
bearable because
the puppies
will grow into
imposing companions loyal guardians
in gleaming armor of black and tan
and ivory teeth
the cats
will grow old
purring contentedly into your dreams
napping in your lap in the recliner
by the fire
except for those misfits
who rip the faces
off small children
or whose faces
are too pushed in
to permit proper breathing
the caretaker
the one who wears the red and white S
must be
the Job who splits babies
the Solomon who suffers boils
kevinarno
will be
turning over the keys
to the Houses of Persia and Rottweil
moving out moving on
to observe and chronicle another nature
red in tooth and claw
surely a more civilized pursuit

Time to go
from BotF Poetry Slam, 2-2-2006
You might be leaving, but I've already gone.
I've looked back, tried to prove my history.
Now I'm standing at the foot of bridge one.
Mapped my life to the streets of Konigsberg
With all the bridges washed out to sea.
You might be leaving, but I've already gone.
Filled out the forms, the applications
To become someone else's employee
Been looking for new bridges to build.
Thought at first that I'd only lost to Ivan
But there were more: Wilma ... Katrina ... Charley ...
I'd show you, but the businesses are all gone.
How do I prove the work that I've done,
The network analysis, the modeling,
When I can't even find past employer one?
No Red Prince or Blue Prince or Bishop
Can ride out from Schloss or Kirche to save me.
I would be leaving, but I've already gone.
How do you cross bridges when there are none?
You might be leaving, but I've already gone.
I've looked back, tried to prove my history.
Now I'm standing at the foot of bridge one.

Descente aux enfers
Dancing is all about architecture
Pondering this, the decent ox infers
That the decrepit awks in furs
First got permission from the prefecture
They started off with a lecture
Demonstrating that lox incurs
The same penalties as socks in verse
Or at least, that was their main conjecture
When you arrive at the dance
Coming from Hakushu, Japan
Remember, they got there in VANS
For all the underworld's a mountan stage
Go forth without socks, be of good courage
Dance barefoot, leave your shoes at the edge
