 Dean's latest Long Poem:
Night Of The Living Dreams
“Dreams never die.” So wrote an old friend.
This is scary, new dreams born every microsecond --
you can hear them: POP! POP! POP! POP!,
and they never die. Scary enough the over-population
of dream space
which may be OUR space, and
for that matter, or non-matter, we may be dreams,
or dreams and dreamers both, for why may not dreams
dream?
not to mention the horror of dreams,
though deathless, yet aging, rotting, decomposing,
like the Strulbrugs whose deathless stench
left Gulliver with nightmares, hordes
of senile, stinking, slinking, staring, gaping,
drooling dreams crowding round us like the brain-eating
zombies of horror films – to eat our brains? or to suck out
the truth of our dreams? How much blood
is spilled by dying men possessed by undying,
but corrupted dreams?

A Selection of Dean's Recent Short Poems
published 11 November 2012
From a paper cup
dangles a sign with tiny print –
some teabag’s cry for help.
--------------------------------------------
Restaurant ads – pictures of food
don’t make me hungry, but somewhere
probably a picture of me
is hungry.
--------------------------------------------
Double Spoonerism
Sand gets on condoms
By the sea shore.
Sue yelps as Don comes –
Ooh, is she sore!
--------------------------------------------
Hannibal’s Strategy (a palindrome)
Plan A: an Alp.
--------------------------------------------
End of the day,
left heel bickering
with the parking garage floor.
--------------------------------------------
Hundreds of channels,
always some movie on I want
to want to see.
