CURRENT MOON moon phases -The Stranger Man-(by Charles Simic)It isn't the bodyThat's a stranger.It's someone else.We poke the sameUgly mug At the world.When I scratchHe scratches too.There are womenWho claim to have held him.A dogFollows me about.It might be his.If I'm quiet, he's quieter.So I forget him.Yet, as I bend downTo tie my shoelaces,He's standing up.We caste a single shadow.Whose shadow?I'd like to say:"He was un the beginningAnd he'll be in the end,"But one can't be sure.At nightAs I sitShuffling the cards of our silence,I say to him:"Though you utterEvery one of my words,You are a stranger.It's time you spoke."----------------------------------------------------- ------That's right. I can be deep. As it turns out, I really enjoy thunder storms. Still like to poke at gross stuff with a stick. Watching people pick their noses in their car, heat delirium, climbing that fuckin' tree!, cartoons, learning how to do shit(and I DO mean, whatever), showering, infected gashes, video games of horror and gore, imaginary numbers, flicking dudes in the nipple/running away from those dudes, wrestling girls for world domination, dancing to no music except the tune in my head(I like to think it's mostly the Go-Go's[Wham's "Last Christmas" for the holidays]),time travel in yo pants, singing horribly at work, making millions off of my not yet recorded CDs-"Ben Wormell Sings Madonna While Crying" and "Ben Wormell Sings Madonna While Lost In A Spooky Cemetery", I still like poetry but don't expect me to quote nothin' 'cause I suck at that shit, theology, your aunties, drinking at gay bars, cyborgs, fresh fruit, watching movies, whiskey, I like to wear pants and I've planted some garlic(yum).

Michael Ian Black( but not while I'm working), Chris Elliot(but I think we're scared of each other),Ossowatamie, Marc Bolan(I'd like to get smooth lover-man tips from him but he's dead)that dude in Albany that kept quoting classic rock songs and rubbing his belly and showing it to Busher and kept telling him he can stay at his place anytime and he showed us his shrapnel wound from the war that was on his affore-mentioned-belly...I'd like to shake that fine American's hand. Not you, so fuck off. ..
