Thompson's Ashes

If You Can't be the Poet, be the Poem.- David Carradine

About Me

"...We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that sixties. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously..."All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped create...A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force...is tending the light at the end of the tunnel..."- Hunter S. Thompson."...Avoid all needle drugs. The only dope worth being shot is Nixon" - Abbie Hoffman"I wish I was free of that slaving meatwheel and safe in heaven dead." - Jack Kerouacand go check my blog shitheels.

two new poems

I've fallen into the horrible gap of poetry writing. It's comfortable for now, but I think I want more. I think it was Faulkner that said "a poet s a failed short story writer. Whose a failed novelist...
