Parrot,

Purvis
Moses, Jesus of Nazareth,
And the holy prophet Mohammed
Were sitting in a bar one day
When in walked L. Ron Hubbard
With
a bright green parrot
On his shoulder. The bar was called
The R&R and catered
Mainly to servicemen,
Active
and retired. The parrot
Had a sense of humor, could
Float an emeter, and was generally
Quite a bird. Nevertheless,
The
sun, exploding in slow motion,
Beyond the shadows, impaired,
Our solar system not a jogger
It seems, broke, really fell
For
a Korean lady who just
Then rumbled into the parking lot
Aboard her Kawasaki,
Insouciant, with muscular thighs.

SC. When he is not writing, he is bothered by odd coincidences,
occasional glimpses seemingly revelatory in perhaps sinister modalities,
private obsessions and the like.
