corporate mentality - doug draime

Once the Masters

of the Seas,

porting only

for supplies

and a few

days of 

debauchery

on the coast,

where the

dark brown nippled girls

bathed in

the sun.

We know the

story: disease

spread

throughout the

villages with

mind altering

syphilis; first

creeping, then

rapid

insanity.

Doug Draime's most recent book is More Than The Alley, a full-length collection

from Interior Noise Press. Also available are two chaps: Los Angeles Terminal:

Poems 1971-1980 (Covert Press) and Rock 'n Roll Jizz (Propaganda Press).

Draime has been a presence in the literary 'underground' movement since the

late 1960's. He currently lives in the foothills of Oregon.
