Howlin' Babble

Satirizing the moral heart of the country, the artist builds a bridge between ideological linguistic islands, calling out the treachery of society’s crimes against humanity and crimes against earth using humor of the absurd. The artist sardonically reinterprets many biblical parables using literary devices of riddling allegorical whimsy to paint the absurdist’s abstract apocalypse.

In the American South, The Holy Bible is pronounced “howly babble.” In the biblical story, the Tower of Babel is an attempt to reach divinity materialistically, and God’s punishment for this is to confound speech to babbling. 







Here in this incoherent dimension

Descartes and Einstein debate enriched uranium

With brown polar bears

On icebergs drifting unto providence

You wouldn't want to be a fly on that wall

Nor would you expect Mexico to pay for it

Perhaps you'd tow that iceberg into Cape Town

With several steamboats

Perhaps you'd ignore the colossal irony

One might even say, titanic irony

Floating steal and iron rivets

While knee deep and dying of thirst

Evaporating thirst with steam-powered drought

That sinking feeling

Pale horse-powered deluge of doubt

Don’t ever let go the diva the delusion drowned 

Her feathers still float with broken wings

Representative of peace

Pecking order from chaos with beaks

The dove is grateful as the dead

Realizing Purgatory isn't Biblical

The Catholics made it up

Then took over The Court (7 of 9 “justices”)

Grey area looks pretty black ’n white to me

Two blacks and a hundred whites hung the apolitical branch

Morality hangs on the tree of know-ledger

Politic forbade picking non-theistic fruit?

Slithering supremacy singing coup coup kachoo (they are the egg man)


This grim brimstone acquisition

Smells of the beach and eggs 

Dawn downpour of sodomite sulphur

Same mirage lost in the desert or lost at sea

What color should doves and polar bears be?

Who’s the first horse, my love, at the end of time?

Inuit skipping stones somewhere over the runway 

Red carpet sunset showcases sealskin sheik 

Dorthy’s serving salted leprechaun meats

A variety of flavors from the prism of light 

Judge can’t retract refracted crimes against earth 

So sings Chopin’s funeral march

Howlin’ babble’s gavel lands the gallows hand

The tower showers all across the land

Noah’s nightmare, nature’s fire extinguisher

Nero’s number fires mammon in impoverished dory-hunky

Flipping merchant tables, who recalls Humpty Dumpty?

Who likes their eggs hard and who likes them runny?

Side of apocalypse, my love?

My brunch is revelatory, how’s yours?

Is the ship sinking? Where's the music?

I thought the band kept playing 

I thought the people kept praying 

Where's the part where we tear each other apart?

What exactly is this we’re eating?

Or is it four horseman with arrows in their hearts?

Cupid, you devil, you smell of sulphuric farts

In the ass-raping wind


God hates? God hates? God hates? 

Y’all ain’t just morons

You’re oxymorons

Angel-raping takes precedence over homosexual sex

And that’s all God had to say on this

All of the horses and all of the men 

Couldn’t put the queen back together again

God save the queen!

Or is it, "God stave off the nihilists"?

Is it "love" or "what I think love is"? 

Is it “the greater good” or the faulty mind’s menial ethics?

And what do you think a dove is?

You don’t know the ethics of ambiguity

When you say, “I want to make the world a better place”

You really say, “I want to make the world more like me”

Stiff, rigid judgement stuck in karmic lapse

Refractors of light selling hot air

To push riveting stolen irony

Across a desolate ocean of mirage

No love in tow 

Fools of Purgatory, the tower of the babbling brook

They learned nothing

Still trying to fit God into a book

Creator of the eggs

Is not your personal cook

And the antichrist is MONEY

You dumb fucking crooks!
