The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical
substances if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
YOU are around the corner from everything real.
YOU are the first of your kind.
I want nothing that YOU are not.
the people
Charles Bukowski
all people start to
come apart finally
and there it is:
just empty ashtrays in a room
or wisps of hair on a comb
in the dissolving moonlight.
it is all ash
and dry leaves
and grieft gone
like an ocean liner.
when the shoes fill with blood
you know
that shoes are dead.
true revolution
come from true revulsion;
when things get bad enough
the kitten will kill the lion.
the statues in the church of my childhood
and the candles that burn at their feet
if I could only take these
and open their eyes
and feel their legs
and hear their clay mouths
say the true
clay
words.

Some of my Favorite Poems
Horse on a Fence
George Evans
b. 1948
We might have died by now
could be among the dead
where the numbers are greater
but for courage course
or luck,
meeting like roads
only to divide like roads,
or regenerate,
wild,
performing the act
out loud, in the open
forgetting what
made us want to kill
made us kill
believing ourselves invisible
though passion makes us
visible
even
strangely out of place
the way the present always is,
our hold on it four hooves of a horse
stopped mid-flight in a leap
standing now on a fence
between two worlds
-----
All in Due Time
J. V. Cunningham
All in due time: love will emerge from hate,
And the due deference of truth from lies.
If not quite all things come to those who wait
They will not need them: in due time one dies.
-----
The Bathtub
Ezra Pound
A a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
-----
The ISM
Wanda Coleman
b. 1946
tired i count the ways in which it determines my life
permeates everything. it's in the air
lives next door to me in stares of neighbors
meets me each day in the office. its music come out the radio
drives beside me in my car. strolls along with me
down supermarket aisles
it's on television
and in the streets even when my walk is causal/undefined
it's overhead flashing lights
i find it in my mouth
when i would speak of other things
i like fire.
i love TOOL.
Where love rules, there is no will to power,
and where power predominates, love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung, "On the Psychology of the Unconciousness", 1917
Swiss psychologist (1875 - 1961)

Your brain and its ablility to be washed.

If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire.
------
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

I don't know, but I like it.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl G. Jung
No words can describe her.
When I PANIC.
Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart
I love Gertrude.
Sometimes silence is like a sympony.
