The Cast Iron Harlot, Singleton 2007 Outsider Hippie Art

THE CAST IRON HARLOT
Singleton 2007
SOLD


Neon signs
flying by,
blowing in the wind,
toppled over....
roadside crosses
blurred....
daring
us to
go faster
jump the bridge,
crash....

I woke up
with
popcorn in my hair...
and the dream,
nothing more
than
kool-aid stains,
dancing on the
white-white
of innocence
or
foolishness.

Faster, please....

Chapter Book, Singleton 2007, Outsider Art


CHAPTER BOOK
(c) Singleton 2007


The pages are wet
Salt soaked
yellowed
and sun bleached
and
there's no ending
or beginning

Faceless people
with
sorry other stories
flip
through the words
taking what they want
and making up
dimestore drama
to fill the
void.

Fate or chance?
You wrote the book.

And the pages didn't really blow away...
you were
just chicken
and tore them out
to make it look that way...

No wonder you're getting lousy reviews.....


Markers, colored pencils, ink and all that hoo-hah on cardstock

In Blue Mascara, Singleton 2007 Outsider Hippie Art

In Blue Mascara
(c) Singleton 2007

"I'll be mad"
I said.
And I'm sorry.

I don't want to rememeber your
flitting, flirting, buy-one-free-get-one-free
eyes that way,
swiping me with
stolen blinks.
Your lips
scrunching
in a knot,
thinking,
your smile,
pink kool-aid just below
your nose,
betwitched.

But I'm mad now,
and

I'm wearing
blue mascara....
