fifty
words for war
[there must be]
50
words for snow…!
And
only one for love.
Oh
well, how can anyone force them selves to love these neo-american grrrls?
With
their –innoculated—
Sense
of entitlement.
easy
as pie. Cold as ice.
In
the mod-waste wonder-lust of story.
Media
content
Formats
not considered
They’re
all stories.
Things
we did fresh
Have
always done and will do.
In
our ecstasy of songbirds chirping at the dawn
High
school cronies
Eaves-dropping
stories.
Jackals lookin' for werk.
What
my sister did stories.
In
the boat.
The
villages we killed stories.
We’re
not allowed to TELL
stories,
of hell stories.
of hell stories.
Fat
thigh stories
getting too high stories
getting too high stories
Ring
yer bell stories
Playing
records
Making
records
Breaking
records
Living
dying…
Killing.
Killing
by gas by cluster by metal by heat by futures
Detracted, distracted
Exploited, Polluted
Wanna
hear a story?
About
us?
About
now?
About
how? We are now?
Can
you let me tell you a story?
Wait! Don’t go.
Let
me wash that invisible
blood off your hands.
blood off your hands.
Because
youdon’tknow stories…
Because
you listen—sometimes—
but
you don’t FEEL stories.
you do not feel
you do not feel
when
you gonna pay
for
that story?
You told. From your oblivion.
Yours.
Yours.
It’s still your story/you get
To
decide…
But
you’re too busy
Fuckin’
yer brains out…
in the back of the taxi.
in the back of the taxi.
So
we gotta
OCCUPY!
Your brain...
Your brain...
Read all of yours. Love it, great. Eskmoes have 50 words for snow. Had a friend who's regulator came apart down there when he was just learning and he had to buddy breath all the way up. I only snorkeled all over Guam for three years.I like your poems better than most of my 60's in North Beach. Where are your stuffs printed. My printer is down right now. I like Jack Gerritsen too. Jim Buik is a friend and blogs too. love and miss talking to you too Lee
