The muffled voices carry a promise of what’s to come, for you, your remains.
Everything, you feel everything. The wet, the cold, the steel, the metal, the saliva, the blood. A small patch of skin uncovered, pressing into a rusty nail poking out of an old mat covered in dog hair. Empty bottles, rolling around, occasionally whacking your skull.
You’ve been closing your eyes and opening them, checking, feeling, pulsating. I’d say, you have like maybe three hours. The destination is taking some time, because there’s some people joining the group, but you don’t know that. You’re, haha, in the dark. You’re thinking about some strange things, like weird memories that seem to be growing out of the cracks in the pavement like rebellious flowers. Remember: cutting off your licorice and using it as a straw in your can of Coke.
Remember: when your friend laid down in a mud puddle for two Canadian dollars.
Remembering, like a ghost. You have no words left, and there isn’t, really, much to say. It’s sort of like the final stages of realizing how drunk you are, you’re going to stand up, and feel the soles of your feet turn into mush, goosh, oatmeal. Your knees will start to buckle and you’re finished. Some people might say, oh, yeah, a great time to think over the past, and sift through a million old memories, but when you’re this scared you lose control over the ability to do this act with reason and precision. You try to think of some good stuff. Good food, books, colors, animals. Instead, everything in your mind turns into one fucking dark panorama.
You think there might be snowflakes falling in through a hole in the trunk. But maybe not. Maybe those cold drops on your skin is your blood. Or gross old beer from those cans flying around. The thing is, its not so good to do much thinking in here, because all your thoughts feel more like time bombs. You’re saddened that you’re not going to be going out the way you wanted, in a burst of fire, combustion, explosion, preferably in a basement to propel full evisceration potential, the idea of your guts flying and splatting around and getting sliced and diced by glass, how funny, how satirical.
Something just went bunk. Someone in the back seat, banging around. But still, the cars going, somewhere. Three hours of nothing time. You ain’t missed.
top things to love about you
There’s no home for it, no shelter. No way of excising this filth from underneath my skin, burn you away.
You’re really, diseased to the top of your snotty nose.
It wasn’t since my own father that I grew up, looked up and saw that it was possible to hate someone the way I hate you. Your unassuming fashion, the shamelessness, still you can look right through me, there’s absolutely no emotion there. I leave you to it, okay? I leave you to your preambles and disintegrations and amazing, scrupulous LIES of whores! You’re just really quite a fucking disgusting person.
Time passes, and still no tickets. No nothing, time passes and I really will retreat except for small pleasure, worthless. What’s the time? Don’t call me names, don’t tell me anything, its best if you all just disappear.
Many times sitting behind you, I’d see your neck, and could totally imagine, like, slamming an aluminum baseball bat into it. I really believed that sound would be like a crowd of pigeons taking off, a mercy on me, a complete aura of peace to erode all my doubts and pains, and then I’d use the bottom of the bat to crush your teeth out of your jaw, tie you up and strung from the ceiling and bat you around, listening to the ribs splattering around your insides. I’d like to shove things down your esophagus. Really, I think any of your orifices, I’d just want to stuff them. I’d like to see some emotion in those dead ugly eyes for once. Like to swatch you with some chains hard enough to break your nose, maybe, you don’t bring out the creativity in me, just the animal, just the brutality, the huge hatred for your existence, your certainty, its just a good fucking things us animals got separated and are far away. Imagining your hair I feel my mouth sweeten at the thought of tearing off your scalp with my teeth and grating them against your skull. I’d like to carve you up, once I got started don’t know if I could stop.
You’re just so, really, unbelievable. A total child. Pathetic. You’ve painted the way for me and changed the way I had to live, have to live, my future, fucker. It just sickens me to know you exist out there, and sometimes, once in awhile, you pop out of the woodwork, and remind me why, how much I despise you, how listening to the sound of your breath is like pulling a nail from the flesh under my foot.
Now, let’s color a picture pretty of you and your dumb saying, ect. All your fake bravado and huge ego that has no reason to be there, and your great acts of heroism, really just lies and so on, really I’m just fucking tired, as tired as can be, and I’m tired of really everything. Buying things is no fun anymore. There’s no fun to be had. Even the pain doesn’t seem to feel as good these days. What a lousy deal. Be cool to strike up some conversation sometime soon. Get out of this place. Soon, I think. Meanwhile I’m stuck waiting. Poor kid.
sitting there
Looking at me.
What is seen is what the mind wants to see,
As you look at me, looking at you as the mirror clouds over.
Juggling apples and oranges, toss in a pineapple,
Into the fruit salad of which an aroma rises.
It filters through your nostrils and you want a taste,
But as you begin to fathom the journey across to the orchard that is.
I turn and run, to get lost in the vast array of trees that spread out,
Into the greenery and into the sweet plumes of scents that continue to rise.
Beckoning me to places that you would like to follow,
Yet each foot is carefully planted on the soil which has been sown for you.
Seeds of expectations, roads to travel - not for you, but for?
Hermetically sealed, each foot of yours stands still and your eyes dance,
Over each small hill and into each crevice, looking.
Looking for something that could very well be me,
Or it could be anything you have wished each day of your life to be.
But the familiar odour of your orchard is all your senses know,
Although they care to travel, it is only a wish amongst all wishes.
Into the street I have turned and the soil changes transforming into a dirt road,
Something yet untouched by the hand of modern machinery.
Marvelling at this, a land so untouched sure I think of you standing,
Way behind, somewhere once upon a time ago.
Standing and pondering, looking over horizons asking yourself questions,
Of what the hillsides look like on the other side, and whether there is in fact a harbour.
For it has been read, it has been spoken of between you and I,
It was my wish to find it, which germinated into a seed that implanted itself somewhere I cannot name,
Yet for you it was a dream, and like all dreams the vision fades into a memory.
Of what could have been in the possibility of time had you desired it possible,
Yet you reclined on your rocking chair, took the pipe in your hand, lit it and watched the sun rise and fall.
At each turn, as the streets change colours and feature variations of scents,
My feet stumble upon a marketplace and I hear a voice - very much like yours.
It speaks of the best fruit, the most spectacular colours and for only half the price two bags may be bought,
Nearing it, yet fearing it, my eyes dart forth to catch one glimpse,
Into the orchard that is spread out on the stall and the colour red catches my eye.
Red shiny apples all in a row,
Red the colour speaking of passions, passions of which you and I used to know.
The smell so fragrant yet so bittersweet,
Taking me to the very place where you have planted your feet.
In one second, plumes of thoughts that swirl up around me and want to take me to their home,
Yet it is not my place, it may have once been.
A memory in the marketplace,
What you and I could have been.

Party Time
(And how do you dare staring at me this way while I'm that nekkid ?!)
... From Wes Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums" with my beloved Bill Murray.
personal point of view :
Everytime I see the generic title of "A Little House in the Prairie" with the tiny sweety cutie Marie Ingals falling down into the high grass, I wonder out loud :
" Ain't she fed up by now of falling all the time in this high grass ?"
And immediately, i burst into mad laugh.
Any shrimp in the audience ?

what really matters
i stood transfixed,
gazing at the sky falling
into my cup
and everywhere around me,
aware of all the spaces
that continuously frayed
like the hem of my jeans
lined with dreams.
i sense the collision of verb tenses
in the dampness of the ground,
sense a pregnant universe
in the buoyancy of the grass.
and then i wonder
if my coffee tastes like rain.

but then if yer working on some long epic thing and the epic simile is sort of the cell phone some imagine it is. well what can you do? i mean beats and stresss, shit dude, thats not the thing is it now?
You lean that from that lecture Prof. Del g'ave and Chantal tol you about it?
no sweetyI learn it from her, Clair, P. and she was dialogue to my__
The prose pome cuts that out. ok. so in yer fictions there's a detail to narrative the abstracted poets don't have and then there's there overly personal onthe other side, right?
no machines at all.
I mean, you take Derek Walcott in Omeros he 's pretty good, right, lengthy long pome it is, called a novel, or chapters are named novels. he go a long way but he still work with a pretty iambic line and the terza rima thing.
in his newer book he admit he in the 19 century. he sad about that.
Shhh. Kiss me, we're on the radio. I want them to hear.
No!
Wheras Kazantakis in his long pomes he bust out of it. butin english language it be hard to bust out in long pome of them old lines and hexameters and stuff.
Yes? and ?
well so then how you gonna do that?
I don't and do.
It's a question of making other machines happen and letting the alternates float where they will. Antin was doing some of that in his talk books, right? and some others. But man do that now, you get hung. they dont like that shit. Or someone like Genet in his poem novels, or even Dickens and Burgess, they are long poem novels. right? and Martyrology too?
Honest, I am not certain as I did complete it reading it, I mean
kiss me,
No! we're on the air!

On 8/15/06, and you said
for me, the question in writing is how to get outside of the I, and the me, me, me, business. I think that's why I work on these fictions blogs, with their narrative elements;the fictionsofdeleuzeandguattari.blogspot.com which flirt with the edges of the personal but take it somewhere else. I mean it's more like particles and stuff.We all know pomes are filled with personal elements, but what interests me, at least most of the time, is how to transcend them....
As for long lines, well I love them, and the long line in American poetry is very strong, and goes back to Whitman, in Canada, its history picks up after WW 2 though some might argue that EJ Pratt was a precursor, with his sweeping "epic" line _ hexameter? _ and that then works through to all sorts of other poets. The question I guess, or the problem, perhaps, is how the long line gets too long and becomes a prose poem, which is beautiful because the regular lines of verse, how ever irregular they are , tends to fall into a sort of solo act. On the other hand, think of Ferlinghetti and what he can do with those short spaced out lines of his, especially in his first book . So long lines, short lines and their contrast, _ i suppose each of us takes where it feels right for us, and where it works best. I could go on all day, after all this is what I do.
to be honest honest I am not a creely fan or olsen either. but some rhythms stay not dem. but i can be rong as always. right ripe?
i mean its a machine, a medicine machine. some with bone of
oat know this. i work between the french line and english.
between the machine of its percolating rhythm
oh how swiftly they forget! (Show off! thats Walcott!)

and juggles three thoughts minus

When Art Attacks
1323: the Synod of Cortona hastily reimposes the Catholic Church’s ban on the colour yellow after a premature liberalisation leads to rampaging yellow-toned Virgin Mary altar pieces in the streets of Naples.
1599: Caravaggio self-portrait found guilty of sexual harassment of Vatican altar boys and innovatively sentenced to ‘not hanging’ (Caravaggio retaliates with his Well Hung series of 1601, revolutionising modern painting-hanging techniques).
1898: Giant man-eating water lily, disgruntled at depiction in previous Impressionist canvas, conceals itself inside Monet impasto, smothers four.1911: Cubist exhibition shut down after Juan Gris’s Man With Saxophone repeatedly pokes viewers in the shins with a pointed stick to soundtrack of badly out-of-tune jazz.
2003: Marina Abramovic’s ‘No One Leaves the Gallery Before They’ve Swallowed a Razor Blade’ exhibition runs into trouble when Tate Modern’s air conditioning fails and three people are hospitalized for heat exhaustion.
A Faerie Tale
Billy got a bag of beans in the mail. His brother Jack was a serial killer.
Billy wanted to plant the beans. Jack wanted to cut up drifters.
They went for a walk in the woods to see if they could talk it out.
A compromise was reached:
Jack would find a drifter and Billy would plant the beans inside.
(Outside the moon hung like a hang nail on the finger of night.)
Sure---let’s open her up and see how she shakes out.
…
Billy breathed out, and when he breathed in he tasted death.
They disassembled the girl and planted her in the earth.
Jimmy kicked some dust over the grave with the heel of his boot, while Billy smoked a cigarette.
Billy threw his tools in the trunk and pointed the car out into the desert. They were almost to Las Cruces by the time she began to bloom.
II
How Las Cruces Came to Be
(an interlude to provide some Historical perspective)
The most common theory is that in 1830, there was an Apache massacre of a party of nine travelers, including a Mexican Army General, a Priest, and five choir boys. Only one choir boy survived the massacre, and buried the other, marking the graves with three crosses. The area became known as "El Pueblo del Jardin de Las Cruces."

How History Would Have Liked to Record the Scene if it Had Been Given the Chance (Or the Story of How Shade Entered the World)
Jakob and Wilhelm hitched a ride with Don Fernando to Albuquerque.
In Albuquerque they took in the sites, prayed at the Mission and ate a stew
of Navajo and Apache. They trekked down the El Camino Real to Chaco and had their pictures taken among the ruins. In the photo Wilhelm has his arm around the shoulders of Jakob, they both are squinting into the sun and the photo captures the wind as it moves through the canyon. This is where Billy and Jimmy should have buried the girl. Placed her among all the bright things risen out of dust.
Melting

I did not all of the sudden blink of the eye

I did not wear socks up to the knees

Couplets for rejection
But my declaration requires, a profounder inspiration.
There are no charms, trust me, that you don't possess,
But curse my heart, it cultivated a different aspiration.
If you make it too easy, the love just shies away,
We appreciate things, gained by considerable perspiration.
Don't cite the examples of similiar couples who made it work,
Least valuable ideal of love, o dear, is loving by imitation.
Why ask me, if you I'd chose, if my dreamgirl existed not,
Who knows darling, why fish for such a consolation.
You mean a lot to me, I certainly value your feelings,
If I can't reciprocate, its just my own limitation.
These tears are too precious, to be wasted on me sweetheart,
You'll find a better match, the one among billion in our nation.
The time together we spent, was a happy time, I agree,
Good-bye my co-passenger, we chase different destination.
We all outlive our passions, you too will pronounce later,
I hadn't the qualities, worth a perpetual fascination.
Last note, I add with severity, it must be a neat cut,
Untouched it will heal, caresses will cause aggravation.

You’re not me.
Lucky so lucky,
As a horseshoe can be.
Hanging on the door,
Pointing toward the Sun.
As I toil and ponder,
Which way the road can run.
Up over the mountain,
Or into the well.
Each day is a story,
A story only I can tell.
Show me a picture,
I ask you one day.
You merely hang there,
Suspended all day.
Nothing forthcoming,
For the traveller within me.
Thirsty and ragged,
From all the roads that ran dry.
Some feature waterfalls,
Or rapids rushing white.
Cascading over mountains,
Crashing on rocks.
Rippling through rivers,
In warm currents that flow.
Silently still,
Or rambunctiously loud.
So many places,
All in the mind.
Regardless of the structures,
Close by or far beyond.
Pointing in one direction,
As you sit and frown toward murky ponds.
You’ll never bring me luck,
That much I know.
For you simply hang there,
While my feet continue along.
Walking over pebbles that may or may not obstruct my path,
Over valleys, through sands, toward many mountains.
Always on the move,
In a circadian fashion.

Spectated, but insouciant,
Not a speck of shame to wet the face.
What a fine pang that she should injure heaven so - with her spirit of recklessness - the sound of laws shattered - and Jesus takes a backward step,
Many more like her and there could be no commonwealth.
While Rhesus draws finger patterns in the sugar,

limpid calm,

some gender fright
come to my body wound you worked breasts,
eyes, legs, rooms, and
they delight you
5
when resting his head
there it was peace
yer heat spreading like a vein
or soft sun gathering Mars
on his pillow
you were lesbian as he was
not Baudelaire's frightful femmes damnes
but les biens temps a u dela
lover the orgy was
12 beat feet popped by fingers
'drummin' on subway poles
and Ihor who has a Ukrainain background
supports the war
says call me call me
she hold me closer to her finger
by dishes of pillows
I gotta meet someone at the Metro
