Medusa's Overbite is a story told in poetry of growing up in the suburbs. This is different poetry, it in your face and not sing song,just plain and direct. It is filled with a sense of alienation and observations of people, places and things found in the city and suburbs.



Excerpt

An American Story
A short, choppy,
Post-Modern comment,
buckshot spewed words,
shedding bitter tears.

Chaotic, unstructured,
and totally meaningless.
It whispers a woeful lament,
live hard—die fast.

The character, an anti-hero
feels like discarded garbage,
and is consumed by the calculated
ambiguities and ritualistic
suicide committed in America.

Experience transient paranoia,
milk crates for chairs,
and a large wooden cable spool,
(courtesy of LILCO), as a table.

An outlaw past, filled
with motorcycles, fights,
drug dealing, and gun running.

It’s a rock and roll ride with psychedelics.

Watch the strobe
and black lights flash,
burn and tarnish
as bubbles float
drip, drop, lava lamp,
amid drift and decadence,
personality disorders,
narcissism, cynicism,
hedonism, nihilism,
a witch’s brew
of antisocial behavior.








A classic example of bad taste,
morbidity, plot-less naturalism,
a misrepresentation of American
history, society, philosophy,
and psychology.

Soon to be a major motion picture,
appearing in a neighborhood near you.
