RE: This too

Tuito, Jalisco, Mexico -for Ed Dorn

The only difference between
Tuito, Jalisco, Mexico and
Oskaloosa, Jefferson County, Kansas is
oddly enough....the temperature.

Cowboying is global.  Pickup trucks local.


Sand Fleas...Boca de Tomatlan

Macho aside
today I enjoy the scars

I've got the kind of legs that 'show' defects.


Hola Narcolitas

Amazing how things change when
a black van pulls up and parks in front.

More amazing the items added to the menu as
the five enter

Less amazing but certainly more welcome
is the 'one of those' head moves the guitar
player gives Sue and I.  You know the one.....
"Adios, mi amigos..."

Damn and we wanted to hear Los Golendreas......

RE: Blog is dead?

So the blog is dead.  So I find reading some of the coastal mussing recently while puttering through
a blog roll.  My my.  And I was just...well that is always been the case.  Once in high school, for a few days, I had the coolest car in the lot....faded lime green '51 ford 2 door with extreme rake so bad it hit the ground in the front.  Ahh.  Well them were the days.  Now, not so cool.  Just another "elder", "senior", "silverback" whatever and fuck you too.  The only difference between me and you is years...sweetie....I got to meet and spend time with Paul Blackburn in McSorleys Tavern on East 7th St one long long smokey afternoon and many pints of ale.  You get the twitter and a smart phone.  Big deal, eh. 

So l guess a lot of folks will just close there comment boxes and then close there blogs.  Oh well everything else gets shorter every day.  I guess I should post a really cool picture up here everyday now so Silliman can just 'grab' it when he needs it....or maybe not.  Maybe I dont get a photo being dead on his sight....oh well.  Fuck that too.

Life is good now.  Tomatoes and fresh sweet corn.  Kittys are healthy.  Sue and I healthy.  What the fuck, eh.

Blogging isnt cool anymore.  Jeez.

Part B - for Richard Lopez

Part B




I just can’t believe

if ever the thought

you don’t know how

you have no idea

idear

you couldn’t possibly



Not much thrown up over a life

time

time to look back and realize

that

nothing gained for lack of

trying

just substitute sweat for grit

who needs that either


Just coming to terms with all

that time wasted

here sits one pumped out

hole in the spirit

life trudging across

across me like three times twenty

or some such mathomatical

possibility

but don’t now no don’t ask



Why it matters

it matters

not just because

but just

and all solutions rendered on

this eyepad space seem

pointless at least

and dull now printed


Take all of this

please

if it is a moldy joke

just gather up and walk away

before I have to write

more


What’s more

this

dream don’t matter

no more

just one after another

trying to find a way out

of one more to tight

space



Saving the best

for last

aint seeming like what

I made it

up

to

be.

RE: The Comment Box

Note to all commetors...I am getting closer and closer to decoding your marks in the comment box. Thanks for taking the time. Soon you will receive direct response ======== === ===.

RE: Winter's Bone

You need to see this movie. Then after watching the movie you will know why out here no one really gives a rats ass about the Tea Party. Other cultural and social congregations are a bit more...um...stressful when encountered at large. In other words, to get from or too Lawrence, Kansas....you have to go thru Oklahoma or Missouri for instance.....don't make a lot of eye contact. Imagine that instead of driving a car you are riding the subway...ha ha.

No really....it's all good times. Go ahead flash the peace sign at the lady with nutz on her truck.

RE: In the Mail Today

New issue of House Organ, published by Kenneth Warren, POB466, Youngstown, NY 14174 and ONLY available in print. Send him some $$.

Nice to share pages with Edward Mycue, Diane Di Prima and Richard Grossinger.....the 'invisible generation" Chas Plymell calls us.

I admire Warren for his continued putting out HO and his continued writing about Charles Olson and publishing Susan Maurer, Stephen Ellis and others.

Oxycodone

To 'lose your mind' and discover that
it is wrapped in a rare and welcome
relief. Pain relief really does mean
'losing your mind' and is a rewarding
experience.

If you are going to spend
time with medication....you could do
worse.

=============================

No you cant have any. They are mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Kansas. You understand, no??

RE: Is Marjorie Perloff the Helen Thomas of PO

WELL IS SHE????????????????????????


Answer(s): who gives a shit.

If your an academic....choose from the above.

If your an un-academic....make up your own.

If your as flummoxed as I am....congratulations.
