Live Without A Net: Self Loathing
2008-05-06 21:18:00 In absence of windows, I find only mirrors. As shards of fluorescent, fake sunlight slices the darkness and reflects back the emptiness of syringes shattered against a red bricked school yard wall. Perhaps this absence has always been here, yet I failed or chose not to see it thru the thin gauze of these tired heroin eyes. Perhaps this emptiness is but another disease I stumbled upon in some unlit alley like a worn $20 bill...and now it burns a hole in my pocket as I await the cold, sweaty dreams of the next fix. The fix I pray to some frail, unknown god will never find its way into my limp veins.I am not high. I am not numb. Yet I pop 10 pills a day to keep this body sucking air. Diabetes. Heart disease. Mood swings. Depression. They have all taken up residence in this poor excuse of a man who dreams of tomorrows that never come locked inside the four white walls of this "rehab" facility. In the past few years, I buried my contemporary heroes and friends: Joe Strummer. Dee Dee Ramo...

Press Conference Poetry: Obama on Wright
2008-04-30 01:37:00 Today’s press conference was more than simply an (unsurprising) effort by the Obama campaign to pump the water from the sinking ship, it was pure political poetry. These were the Senator’s closing words and a final (contradictory) statement on his relationship with Reverend Wright… (a poem as ridiculous as the man who uttered its words) he ...

Live Without A Net: Bloodletting The Robot
2008-04-05 14:10:00 "This may prick just a bit". Her voice like steel wool raping a rusted tailpipe. Her breath stale coffee and peppermint gum tinged with top-shelf vodka. She is in my face like some sickly aunt I only pretend to like so my birthday check still arrives...and that check is always good for a 1/2 gram of uncut Mexican Chiva*.She is scared of me, despite the liquid bravado she sips on her "coffee" break. I sense it. Not because I am 62" and 230 lbs. But because I am 6'2", 230 lbs., and she is checking my blood level to ensure that the various psychotropic drugs coursing thru my veins are at a therapeutic level. If not, I imagine she has visions of me ripping her throat out and licking the blood as it drips in slow motion down her saggy 50 year old tits. Her B-movie fantasy, not mine...so ignore the cliched prose.I have long ago faced the fact that this nurse, people in general, and you dearest reader...consider me crazy. But in this society I am not too certain crazy is all that bad a pl...

5 Minute Philosophy: 3.27.08
2008-03-27 12:04:00 I have learned over time that there will be readers and even other authors who will come to hate my work, and by extension me. Being honest does that. It makes people take sides, obliterating all middle ground. But those people can't hate unless they have read me...and once they have read me, my words are burned into their brain synapses never to be erased. To my knowledge, scientist have yet to create a device that allows someone to unread something.While I appreciate those who like my writing. They are easily ignored, as I refuse to pander to anyone. I am more fascinated with those who hate my words. There is an old adage: "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer". Someone that hates you and your words will invest far more time reading and keeping tabs on you than a mere fan. Where else will they find the fuel to feed the fire of their obsession but in your own words. For certainly they lack the brain power and originality it takes to create lies that can stick. And the ...

Everything I Say Is A Poem
2008-03-20 20:35:00 She hadn't spoken since they found her. No failed gunshot. No blood trailing from the wrist like some polluted stream where teenagers toss beer bottle caps and watch them float drunkenly into tomorrow. No pill bottle next to her rain slick body to reflect the emptiness she tried to leave behind.She'd climbed to the top of the Bank of America building downtown. An old tape deck in her lap sung the hiss and pop of 70s AM radio hits. Hall & Oates. "She's Gone" lingered in the background like some soft buoyant cloud cutting thru the sunlight to erase the rain.In her hands, a 6ft steel mop handle pointed to the sky like a steeple...as she prayed for lightening. The janitor reeked of malt liquor. Ball-parked she'd been up here at least two days.A week in this state run mental health facility and no one knew her name. After noon meds, I sat beside her in a pink beanbag chair. Sipped a diet Pepsi and read through Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" for the hundredth time. She looked up from he...

The reporters who cover the team just got back from talking to Bedard after his performance. Total time on my recorder of the interview session: 1 minute, 18 seconds. Even the security guard who let us back into the stadium knew the deal."Didn't have much to say to ya, did he?" she said.Yup, Bedard was...Bedard. He set the tone right off."You get four questions," he told the group.1. Can you tell the difference from start to start?Bedard: "No, not really. I was throwing same as last week.

Without A Net: The Poetry Reading
2008-03-10 13:41:00 The cafe is cold, stainless steel. Musty air reeks of soured tea. Sweaty dreadlocks. I keep my pen and nose tucked into a battered black leather notebook. I do this not for the sake of art or even literature. I do this perhaps the way a prisoner details his surroundings in want of future escape. I am the condemned man. I yearn to replace the dull empty spaces of these white prison cell walls with windows to reflect like mirrors the shattered images of man who either lost or found salvation through the tip of thin syringe.The waitress smiles "Hollywood" through crayon greased lips. Candy-apple red. Her bloodshot eyes dream if only tomorrow could be today...and today she fills my coffee mug half-full. She is quite aware of the silver flask tucked neatly inside the front pocket of my worn bomber jacket, and the vodka it contains to numb me through this night (and every other night) of plastic people with their fake smiles and trivial personalities. Only I seem to notice the tiny red bl...

The similarities between playing the Uke and writing prose.
2008-03-02 02:10:00 Click on the image to the right to see the full size page. OK, Now blogger loves me, and I love it again, but I?m still checking out the wonders of Wordpress. Yesterday, as part of my reviewing extravaganza, I found myself at the Governor Hindmarsh, watching both the South Australian Ukelele Appreciation Society, and the Melbourne Ukelele Kollective perform. It was a three hour show, and while I went with just a few of the smallest doubts in my mind, I came away surprised and a little humbled. The Ukelele is considered by some to be a comical instrument something for the kids and the over tall clown or the Tiny Tim?s of this world. I had not recognized that the Ukelele, like any other instrument, can generate great emotional impact. I laughed when I first heard them start on Radiohead?s ?Fake Plastic Trees? but soon came to realize that they, just as I, were using the tools they enjoyed, to tell a story that they could relate to and that entertained an audience. ...

More Thoughts on the Prose-Poem
2007-12-17 17:29:00 In the latest issue of Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry, my friend Ellen LaFleche reflects on how the prose-poem genre, occupying a space that is betwixt and between, can be especially fruitful for exploring the identity disruptions produced by illness: I experience diabetes as a disease that lives on and between boundaries. For example, the person newly diagnosed with diabetes is told that they have "control" over the disease process. Achieving this "control" involves a difficult regime of diet, exercise, self-education, glucose monitoring, frequent labwork, and numerous visits to specialists. But diabetes is also a progressive disease, a reality that even the most dedicated diabetic cannot change. And even someone with tight control over their blood glucose levels can experience complications. So the idea of "control" is both a reality and an illusion. Some experts claim that diabetes can even be "reversed" with various dietary supplements such as cinnamon capsul...

Poemeleon Prose-Poem Issue Now Online
2007-12-06 11:01:00 Online literary journal Poemeleon has just released its latest issue, which is devoted to the prose-poem. In addition to poetry by Jimmy Santiago Baca, Christina Lovin, Eve Rivkah, Cecilia Woloch, yours truly, and many others, Ann E. Michael contributes a thought-provoking essay about typography as a conveyor of meaning. Poetry has been represented through the typographic art for several centuries; but until recently, few poets have spent much time considering how typography affects the form of the poem. After all, the printed page seems ?merely? physical, inanimate, without the breath, rhythm and music that vivify the poem in performance (even if the reader performs it silently, while reading). The printed page has traditionally been the realm of the editor or designer, not the poet who is more accustomed, perhaps, to confrontations with the blank page. But now that we can, essentially, typeset our work as we compose, poets are becoming more aware of how margins, ...

They show writers in the English-speaking world from Chaucer to the present acting both unpredictably, and deeply in character.The range is wide - this is a book which finds room for Milton and Margaret Atwood, George Eliot and P.

A Nap With Ken Kesey
2007-11-29 05:48:00 I love the familiarity of used bookstores. Regardless of what state or town I find myself in, I know just a few blocks away in any direction I can find an old rundown building tucked away on some un-swept street packed to the rafters with books. These places even offer numerous nooks and crannies where I can read a little, scribble a few words, or just take a short nap. Having slept almost everywhere from boarding houses at $10 a night to the most luxurious of Las Vegas casino suites, I can honestly say you won't find a better place for a nap than a niche in some old bookstore.The sleep is cleansing. It is in these places surrounded by the words and thoughts of millions that we stop trying to learn new things, but actually go back over our life and try and remember the things we once knew, but time somehow tricked us into forgetting we lost.Seeing a battered copy of Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" on the table next to me brings to mind a quote by Kesey's I remember...

Then this post is for you, and the person who wears excessive amounts of those airborne nostril nauseating sprays. Now, most anyone will agree, that they would rather be around people who smell nice, and not like a reeking fiend from the unspeakable depths. The problem is, if you wear too much perfume, yes, you may not smell like armpit, but you have about the same effect as nerve gas. Use small amounts. read more

An Untitled Prose Poem, by Thomas Edison
2007-10-10 09:59:00 A Bowery angel smoking a palm tree stubbed his toe on a comet, and pimples came out on his toe nail as big as mountains. He swore so much that God made eight new planets out of the conversation & peopled and fauna’d and flora’d them eccentrically. The almighty has a vein of humor. He made these planets & peopled them to give amusements to beings on the rest of the celestial plantation. The men were 800 miles long & 1/4 inch thick. They slept on telegraph poles, and animals with bodies as big as a pea with 900 eyes each as big as a saucer lived on these long men by catching them by the feet and sucking them in like macaroni. © RR for suRRealists Official Forum of RR now, 2007. | Permalink | No comment Add to del.icio.us Search blogs linking this post with Technorati Want more on these topics ?

Rita Dove reading her poem Prose in a Small Space
2007-10-08 22:53:00 What's the difference between fiction and poetry? A few more authors weigh in:“In the novel or short story you get the journey. In a poem you get the arrival.”-- May Sarton “I like the fiction writer’s feeling of being able to confront an experience and resolve it as art, however imperfectly and briefly – to give it a form and try to embody it – to hold it and express it in a story’s terms. You have more chance to try it in a novel. A short story is confined to one mood, to which everything in the story pertains. Characters, setting, time, events, are all subject to the mood. And you can try more ephemeral, more fleeting things in a story – you can work more by suggestion – than in a novel. Less is resolved, more is suggested, perhaps.”-- Eudora Welty“It is the difference between a diamond and an elephant…Poetry to me is more organic, more passionate, more spiritual, more intense. Fiction is about time – what happens if you make one or another choice. What...

2007-10-07 03:59:00 Roger Clemens, the biggest mercenary in sports, decided today to opine on the Yankee loss and more importantly, the bug invasion that Joba Chamberlain had to endure.He says this:"If Roger Clemens had been making the call, the New York Yankees really would have bugged out.Clemens viewed Friday night's insect invasion at Cleveland's Jacobs Field from both the dugout and a television in the clubhouse, and he concluded it was too distracting an environment to pitch in."I would have probably pulled us off the field," Clemens said Saturday at Yankee Stadium.and..."I think it's hard enough for our young kids to go out there and concentrate in that situation to have something like that happen," said Clemens, the Yankees' Game 3 starter for Sunday.Asked whether he would have pulled the team off the field had he been an umpire or the manager, Clemens didn't give a direct answer and then said his earlier response benefited from hindsight."It's easy to say now because it only lasted about...

Sounds & smells that perhaps could somehow help me escape the mundane life I had now found myself in. TVs. Computers. A few hours to break free of the digital squeals and squeaks captured on disc and pimped as music that had replaced the gentle warmth of a needle hissing across an LP. But it always comes back to needles. Doesn't it? How can one continue any type of meaningful or pleasurable life knowing a syringe can never again prick their vein.

2007-08-21 09:57:00 I realized at an early age that life was fairly meaningless. This wasn't in and of itself a negative or positive thing...it was just a simple fact. However like most of you, I attempted to lie and convince myself otherwise and buy into whatever bullshit was being peddled at the time. Some of you are still caught in that illusion of purpose. You slave over jobs that hold no meaning to purchase products that have no meaning to assimilate into a society that holds no meaning.Some of you are even arrogant enough to be caught up in the religion fantasy. Yes, arrogant. Why? What else would you call a person that actually believes there is someone out there on a second to second basis that actually cares about your mundane existence.

The Idiot File: I Think, Therefore I Am, The Wit & Prose of Gary Sheffield?
