her distinction
to be in love with love,
her, a confession of failure,
why should i not love her
the black heart of jealousy chatters
vile deeds, behind the curtain i surveyed the third-rate gallery,
corked eyebrows, dainty cap
low comedians grotesque as the scenery,
eyes that were unmoved,
dingy rows of the dress-circle with a terrible consumption of hopped beer,
whatever was good for our father’s...
The healing of the planet
Boundary dissolving, shattering experiences

The fall into history
Suspended between eternities with bad advertising
Subscribed to prepackaged religions, the control room of reality
We line up and take ‘em, beyond the debate of method
With political obligations we borrow against the unborn
We neglect nature, we look for answers from the little man
The minded world,
We are the herded cattle, the human-being,
Dominators of absolute value
watched movies on netflix for 11 hours today. awesome. my only break was a brief dinner.

Well there was many more perplexing details I've...
the vigor of a young boy, young man has at the height of first leaving home to go off and see the world. Hasty, invigorating; playing with the glory and despair. Dashing and damned, a little bit of both. Gee, he meant well.
Bold, naive, lustful;
blending of extremes. Making an absolute mess of things. Digging, writing, investigating. A portrait, a conflict. The grand review of one’s self....

she saw to that
there’s five people in the bed
the psychoanalyst, my symptom,
her, my woman on top of me
the fast track of my mind, reeling off images of the ones before
that lead me to her
me, with my hands holding her
yes, that’s one,
okay, two is the symptom
three, her; yes, yes
four, of course, the mind
five, me

to the insipid follower
be willing to suffer
in the pursuit of an orgasm
to write ferociously honest
that lead to despotic rampages
pissed to your eyeballs
too many fall asleep early
you wont make it if you can’t take more than a few drinks,
a few blows, a few cheats
there’s no such thing as an overly sensitive writer
who prefers the vast massage parlor
over the dank room, the fan hiked...

bohemian slavery
Foreboding raw images of the conscious
Circumspection, subversive attack of censorship
Obscene static
Feed the ally gods in exile
Take duty to the slave that you are
A center to come down in order to watch and mimic
You want to be everything and everyone but your own self

the pope of dope
Noose, lasso, tangled, tousled
Life in prison without parole
In difference with the rules that be
Embroiled, enmeshed, ensnared
Unknot with tinkering of consciousness
Disheveled, unkempt
Outside the law
Destruction of the status quo
Where?
A hidden terrible thing no more
Out in the open
The junky upbringing of Americano’

a decent charade
A bounty, to be killed, skinned by scalp
Leaving only the parasitic carcass
The vulgar bare lines shown on the upper crust knuckles
The longest and greatest betrayal of your own being
There you are, possessed
Living in the soft machine where the disgrace continues to whirr
Humming, buzzing, droning, whining
cold, stifling, wintry, stagnant, neutral, dispiriting
Midwest? Sell.
Not having it.
Michigan? Indiana? Ohio? Illinois?
Sounds pretty darn exciting, i know. I bet you’re tensing up just thinking about it.
Nahhhh….
After visiting some of my family & friends back in the midwest for the past month, it reminded me on why i moved the hell away in the first place. i belong...

you hold her arrested, you take her prisoner
man relentlessly claims stake, calls possession of what once was
out of fear he desperately clings on
like attempting to hold water with clinched palms
the past, a remembrance,
a running dry of your memory’s well
such as with life, such as with death
you never do quite let go
with this, you are to never be free, until you do so
“If I were a girl, I’d despair. The supply of good women far exceeds that...”

the wiring in my brain has been going off weirdly, strangely, nervously, excitingly
back to the substitute teaching gig next week. ha. kind of missed it. those mischievous rascals. teaching sophomore english at the old high school to make some cash before my travels.

make the most of it
haunt saloons, don’t pay your board on time, attend operas, take on a new name, take up prospecting and mining, put a revolver to your head in the name of the mental goose, visit a whorehouse in new orleans, drink, smoke, play billiards, stay restless, contradict yourself and everything you believe, attack cruelty and brutality, go west, play shuffleboard if you have to, good god just do...

a backwards boy who inherited his father’s financial failures,
he was full of tall tales accumulating a lifetime of memories,
always restless, always full of contradictions
delivering his most long cherished secrets to all by pen
a passing merchant that started over time and time ago,
much to his parents disappointment, he gambled
he was a boy who played craps during sunday school,

my natural hair again
my hair is thick again, my hair is , my hair is my hair again!
i forgot what my hair felt like!
gone from the high arid dry climate of colorado,
where the hair grows thin
oh, so thick! so luscious! keeping my momma’s genes alive! again!
oh, if a woman could feel my hair now!

naked in a chicago loft on north avenue
the poet, the read man,
the man of letters
he is a delicate man
he lives in a world of the fully-clothed
while he, the liberated man, roams
see him out there among the tight linens
there he is stark raving naked
clothing the ribs of the canvas paper with his pen and mind
May your life’s true experiences be the travels that you so boldly partake .

the good stuff
it feels good not having any money
it feels good telling the cheap collectors who call to fuck-off
it feels good not getting laid
it feels good taking a long hot shower and not caring to masturbate
it feels damn good
it feels good being down and out with means, yet full of life
it feels good not having a job
it feels good giving away all your possessions to friends for them to keep
it...

i get under their skin
they are never quite sure why
i represent the sin and loud in them
i am the reflection of the starkness they want to be
i am the pal down the street, i am someone you’ve begun to hate
the evil, the good,
we find this all very fascinating
never knowing exactly why
never trust a man with a perfectly-trimmed mustache
see the swine wallow in their own mire. see how they love to play with proofs in trial. in this world of hogs, the one-eyed pig really is the king, now isnt he? oink. oink.

born to raise hell
got kicked out of 3 bars in chicago tonight. not bad for a fella who doesn’t even live here. god save the irish.
after the bar, I sat at the L-train with 3 homeless guys asking the white swine in Wicker Park for their loose change. WHat a grand time. We all gathered enuf’ silver coin for Flash Taco! Those bar-goers sure do love giving to the needy from time to time, it makes them feel like...

aloha from the windy city
drinking myself some southern bourbon , then off to the subterranean. rock n roll, ya’ heard? if yalll in chicago wants to join me, get at me soon before i head out for the night. i ought to be stomping-about till 3 or 4. i suppose too, if one of you gals and fellas has one of those nifty time-machine buggers, you can make some headway that way as well. Up to you, of course.

many faces, many stops
I rode on the train all afternoon, digging the city and her people; it was nice. Actually, after typing that last sentence out, the more I consider it, Chicago is more of a “his” “him” ….a man’s type of town. Every city and town I go to I always like to get the feel of whether it is a female or male. I’ve been calling Chicago a female for years now, I was...

fun?
what a joke the Lincoln Park ZooLights is. that is their idea of holiday nature fun? I advise anyone in the greater Chicago area to stay away as far as you can. last night i felt a small glimpse of what it would feel like to be locked in a cage like the animals are. even the music they played during the event sucked; they played some holiday itunes sample through the speakers, where each song was...
