Poetry by Catfish McDaris
Catfish McDaris was a gunner in the artillery, a hippie Mestizo bricklayer from New Mexico. He's lived in a cave & a 63 Impala. Catfish has 9 chaps out, one with Bukowski, 7 with Micheline. He's been published with Poe, Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Xavier Hollander & been up for 6 pushcart Nominations. He gives no rat' s ass. He eats boogers! He's a slammer, a lady killer. An eater of poontang. Bios are in the words. Read on!
| the wino & the mermaid he discovered her sipping from his stash under the pier when the bottle was empty a whimpering sound came from her neck gills sea green eyes pleaded for more the wino turned his pockets inside out & shrugged she dove into the surf & returned with five golden coins at the liquor store the owner smiled giving the wino a bottle for each coin moonlight reflected off her scales as they passed the bottles silence sat between them she passed out the wino slung her over his shoulder & carried her to his flop he put her in the bathtub sitting on the toilet finishing the wine he fell asleep & dreamed he was Moby Dick SKY PILOTS
