Poetry by Jon Raasch


Haikus

Mountain Dew Live Wire
Orange melts into Pepsi
Beeps from checkout lines.

The crack of the bat
Pin-striped cans of Old Style and
Dusty Baker's kid.

Snow on R. Frost's grave.
Woman in chartreuse pants weeps:
"Robert Frost is deep."

Snow on R. Frost's grave
Poems plaqued: Norman Rockwell
Nike commercial.

The road more taken
was faster, better, much more
beautiful than Spring.

GWB
Inauguration day:
Big head
Small face.

The Beautiful Toilet Revisited
The bathroom here is 
a courthouse; justice prevails
in its urinals.

With Specific Lunar Reference
No apparition
of face from your cunt.  Petals
on a wet, red box.


Use Sparingly Like Salt
Cunt

Pesci's Philosophy
Bugs and Drugs

A thousand words.
