Passage to Spring

Everyone has fallen into a stasis field 
put spring on hold 
fooled by a cheap cinematic trick setting off fireworks 
on a summer night 
as the dog lay shaking 
wrapped in her thunder coat
A newspaper
A database scrapper

number five 
when your fingers can't wait 
won't work and why should they? hitting it hard resending from position 
receding there's a little chart 
at the top of a daily paper 
let's get them all stirred up superhuman geriatric types 
and 
overwhelming scent 
of garlic and developing fluid
the mysterious phasing of giant gnats when you least expect 
SURPRISE!
an election panel with pills 
and pills and pills....

At a particular time of each and every violent day 
the vanishing point lives
in a force field projecting such overwhelming chatter video clutter audio chatter without guitars or paper lights 
forget about scripting 
reflecting the shadow play magnetic forces are polarizing microcellular movement 
much the way you'd use a crowbar on a molecular level.

In just about every way under the Sun every day every way every wave crashing against every adventurous ragged zig-zagging shoreline 
wave wave wave 
where the water meets the Earth their lives can be run 
and put that in the poem 
to be scribbled inside 
cheap little poet notebooks waiting for that heavenly inspiration to flow like Hollywood cinematic magic 
into the this crumbling world 
stay true at all times, stay true

Mine is not the world to spin as a roulette nor to be waited on hand and hoof as some sacred cow turned blue with centuries of worship in a far vast developing world where online voices prove you can build a luxurious patio and pool was strenuous labor time lapse function in a day or two to spend before tacking it on the wall in cyberspace

When it all comes down and the subject comes up lines will form for the necessories we speak don't get too hot or take it to smugly think of it as a bagel or a transfer for the unsalted

There is an hour inside each of us when the head is splitting the wolf is howling where we all each one must answer the most difficult question lying lying in a pit of our stomach noising the sinister knowing of the waves of the hair in the in the hair of the harpy in the howl of the engine the Great and grading crush of humankind

Of the stone wheel wake up but don't pretend that your world is real that your hopes are anything other than a posture toward pretense of ego propulsion into the slow dive following deep in the painful pit of the place where all the titans 
Wound up world 
Including the gnashing of teeth 
the day is too gone infomercial awards committees have nodded off over and out,  good buddy even the rubber duck wanted out 
by the end of the flick knowing that every road runs out of ground when it hits the coast  
went to waving you off
as I've been from to coast to coast to coast and Coast

It's a brain jacked attack 
to jam as much info 
as can be shared 
at first blush it seems 
Amid the great uncertainty 
is washing us away 
Strewn along the violent shore 
with all the fire; 
all the smoke, 
all the crazy lighting tricks 
of course the devil has always been screwing around in the details 
of all the detritus virtual 
or not sunken off 
a floating island planet 
in and atop the bottomless deep blue sea.
Check your local listings 

oh what could the trouble be?

The market gets timid but you mean 
it scared you 
can make up who is positive and who is tested negative

 time for time to move time

to run 
I can't get a thing done 
have to get all the time 
in the world 
I'm not getting worried 
tired or uptight 
just taking in the light's noise 
yes, lots of noise when you don't 
intend to 
share deep dark secrets...

Which are really no secret 
to anybody at all who has known been known been around the block 
kick the tires 
broke the rules 
just because you could 
I could voice it 
upon useful stupidity  
why would I and you shouldn't feel shackled to that stereotype things 
I did, I wanted to do 
nobody gives you a guarantee 
that you'll ever be able 
to do 
again. Right?

New day rising! New day rising! 

Rip off your pajamas
Strap something sturdy to your feet
Assume the position in the full armor of God
Everything
The whole of it
To defend against the slings and arrows
To defeat the corrosion of complacency
The conformity to bow your head and kneel in truth
To the revelation
To the truth

A slight and slender five lined skink
Came to visit me this Saturday
Should have waited 24 hours
For the feast day of Saint Francis
Wouldn't have noticed her
If Lulu hadn't been preoccupied with her daily sniffings
For rabbits and field mice
You stupid skink - I huffed
I'm trying to put you out in the sunshine
So you can enjoy your life
She slinked down the fence

And away

The cruel winter hinted by diabolical agents trying to incorporate miserable lines stitched in like your mouth stapled shut with metal staples shards jammed in with a surgical staple gun
if you ask for me 
you can ask glorious 
who saw me wandering alone 
who knew when I was hungry 
I didn't have to learn no damn euphonics 
to write my blues 
on the far horizon 
with tangerine 
thinking horizon 
in your perspective 
from the prosecutorial 
it is only personal background 
the politician will never 
tell 

Attempting to speak to you in a cryptic antiquated language over a breakfast of d'anjou and black coffee
Across the pond you giggle
To you, I feel, my language no longer travels
On the ears 
Of doves

More the soundings of rocks and shattered storefront displays no finesse, capiche?

Should attempt to borrow the pen
Mediterranean
Or loot from Dante

My small Soul tremors from Paradise you'd think the world, including e.e. & all his furry freak bros
From sea to uproarious sea in updating style books  setting American tongues free!
Who hepped you cats 
to the once upon a time brand new deal
For the real musical lyric of the Love American style we are in the middle of a revolution
For crying out loud

Now the world can see 
but cannot hear the monstrous megatech overlords and major media co-conspirators are attempting to brainwash the rest
Into concluding complacency into the fraud and races vice that we are a divided people just not true.

Yeah, yeah
Everybody's got their own opinion
Or the same opinion
Or however you wish to spin

If standing against tyranny
We jump on our horses and make it to Philadelphia with a declaration by and from the people of the great state of North Carolina or South Carolina

Poems rushed in from the periphery of the Mercurial edges 
the pool side 
the city side 
the curbside

Open up the timeline 
let's go frame by frame 
slow it down 
speed it up 
do it over again and again reverse engineering
The difference engine

The Whole Bowl Life

You wake.
You go to sleep.
You consume a few particles of food.
You expel a few particles of food.
You go to sleep.
You wake.
You swim in a circle.
You consume and expel a few more particles of food.
You go to sleep.
You wake.
You hear a voice
Overhead
'Mom! The fish is floating upside down!'
You get flushed down the toilet
And eaten by an alligator

All We Have Is What We Need


It never ceases to amaze me how much is taken for granted
stars were assigned their transitus before the beginning 
of this age
still and deep
congratulations are in order
at the newest discovery
of human achievement  

You think this ain't love?

Sounds float up from the street
Speed Street; O'Farrell Street
streets are streets
upon their surface 
paths do meet
by chance 
or precisely manufactured plan

That probably ain't love either, huh?

The coloration of the flora
blooms and decays; blooms and decays
over a matter of heat
through these calendared days
from May to May

Accredited to which law; in which universe?

Poetry grows on trees
Pictures are manufactured by bees
Buzzards circle the cul-de-sac 
for reasonable rates
(on home loans)  
“Eww! I hate it when he goes dark, with these.”

Honestly. Is love too playful for you?

Time's gear house is running down
-Happens every so often-
so say the shaman of the maize
so say the cosmic cats
with their focus of eons away
purr and chirp through the haze
all through the night
as the sky gives way

Love is light

Hee-Hee-Haw

Pulling up to the red light
in a nondescript sprawlburb
I notice a man sitting at the corner
With a bucket & a squeegee.
He runs up to cars & offers to wash
Their windshields so they can see
Where they are going
And all the marvelous things
God has prepared for them in this
Journey of life where only the smart
& the strong are necessary to carry on.
'What a good man.' I think to myself
With a slight brush of my hand
I acknowledge the wallet
Resting plump against my chest
In this wallet
Are pictures of my family,
My reason to be,
& also plastic cards
They equal so many pictures
Of dead presidents.
I think: 'It's a good job & tax-free to boot.'
The man spins his sign
In some hispanic language it says
Something about: God Bless You!
I think: He is loved by God
What good is my money
To him?

Straight from the Labs

Even when everything tanks... You can call out my name.. er... you could say 'Hi. Hello. How do you do?' Or leave a little poesy for the spacefolks. Or download all your psychosis {as is the case when we interview 'in person'} or tell me about a memory; a dream; a crazy, mixed up concept... Edge Labs SFCA awaits yr call

Editing Made to Order



Lest we forget the Polk Village Festival has taken place this past weekend. I'd like to announce that I will get the video out as soon as I am able to move it around a little bit on my thinkpad. [I'm trying to hook it up through the Linux Graphic Server but ol' Lurkey thinks it's quite a bit of bullocks to get out of his power down pose.
HEMLOCK? MORLOK? What's this Cat up to?
The party was great. The folks at the Hemlock (codename: Morlok) were as colorful and decrepit as usual. Little girls coming in from all corners of the world to stare at Bukows... wanna bees [and just regular old good for nothin's like me] Also, could someone remind that uptight Irish beechnut that she has to expect all kinds of folks in smoky little hole in the wall dives well off the beaten paths of the Gliteratzi. Maybe it's good her son turns out to be a lawyer so he can school her on human rights.
Let's not forget the talent
The ladies from KUSF were stunning on camera and off. They held up real nice throughout the festival. My hat's off to 'em! And the local visitation by the assorted urban organica was quite exhilirating. The video will be out before you know it so rss this feed.

Later

CHUGA-CHUGA-CHOO-CHOO!!

Hey, My little ducklings, maybe you would be interested in watching a video poem from Seattle & San Francisco entitled RREARTHEXP
Also called RailRoadEarthExperience if your not into all that jazzy jazz.
Mr. Bucky Sinister over @ Last Gasp sez 'I like a more 'up from the gutter' approach...
well then, my little ducky-ducks of Information security why don't you be the judge of what is and is not.
& don't forget....
Rogue 3rd annual film fest takes place on Thursday Oct. 12th @ 7:30pm!
To check out The Emperor's Regret.
SEE YA THERE

DATELINE: @ the Studion early Morning 10.05.006

I received a compliment from the Creative Writing Teacher over in Kansas last night when I accidently went poetic and started to fire off online submissions. Though he was not able to accept my submission {Me: Not a student of a Kansas University Creative Writing Program} He none-the-less thought it was good work and wished me well.

Staring @ Sea End Sunset

Alotta people believe Science to be God.
True to scientitic notation,
or so the hypothesis seems to florish,
if you rip everything down
to it's base components
all that
will be left
wiggling on the ceramic tiles
will be the undeniable truth.

A man born with a wooden head writes of 'real' things in this way. A man, with a wooden block for a head, may be willing, to expect society (in general), to pound his head with blunt metal & various older, more primitive tools.

This wooden block headed man, who could not,
in actuality,
exist outside the realm of metaphor, would never,
under highly clinical assumptive speculation,
never ever find
'real'
acceptance in society.

You see, my little ducklings, there are only,
'really' two forces of attraction on this planet. There are, however, many flavors which blossom to pervert the love/hate on/off switch.

You are initially attracted by electro magnetic impulses. After examining their mental and emotional side effects the attracted particle may turn away or towards the initial object of attraction.

POSITIVE
&/OR
NEGATIVE
[choose one only]

For a word to be scored as being correct, it must make sense in the passage and it must have the same number of letters as there are dashes. All words that meet these two conditions will be scored as being correct.

For example, a sentence might read, "The driver was injured when his 1) _ _ _ crashed through trees." You would complete the sentence by printing "CAR" in the blank space provided: "The driver was injured when his 1) C A R crashed through trees."

The word B U S or S U V could have been used, as both makes sense in the blank space, and have the proper number of letters. The words head, auto and tool are incorrect, because, even
though they make sense in the blank, they have the wrong number of letters.




Tie a chord around the neck end of a pipe
-line-
pull it tight...
Is it a balloon or the flower kind?
If you knew... you could print it in the black margins
to be an outline hero in the very last pages
of the victims' book of rhyme
pluck another feather
stick it in your hat
at the table with a pint
across the street
a neon light
buses are rolling through gray & rolling under flags celebrating
another day... alive & awake... glasses get smashed
& then they're replaced in front of your face... in this place
people got a code... they won't let you read... people need goats to carry their deeds
i wondered 'why?', when i was younger then i could be
though my eyes were wide for disbelief & humanity

Somewhat pissed
that
this
is
it
but none-the-less,... Pluto is demoted
sitting out there cold as it is... old sad jazz cat
sleeping on the bus with yellow plastic bags full of everything he owns
and a 2nd hand briefcase full of 'God only knows'
It seemed @ once such great comfort spinning out there @ distances Metro will never know...

now invisible borders keep it apart of our childtime collective dreams
it's lonely like the lawyers coming into a new crop
no reason for tear riddled panic in the Tenderloin...
our fungus is running amok... the rolling luggage still gets rolled
everything bought will be re-sold to the winners of the world
over and over again and over again...
tick
tick
tock
[tolling bells and the sound of seashells]
another wave
-look everybody!-
pointing towards the edge
even beyond molecular life
sky evaporates out in space
another wave everybody
God everybody...
another wave.
