inventions

August 24th, 2010 · No Comments

Here are some cool inventions that I claim as my own. I own this intellectual property, bitches:
- Stroller with an espresso machine
The stroller would allow the adult pushing the stroller to brew, on-demand, custom espresso-based coffee drinks without the need to adjust their walking gait or to disrupt the passenger’s stroll by noisy side-trips to […]

¡Soy el mamro, cabron!

July 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Have you stared at some shit lately?
Nude Picasso is on tour.
Like a lover, your touch will always linger,
your words will speak themselves with my breath.
Lash out at those around you;
You never know when you’ll get a chance
to harm those you truly hate.

from ear to mouth

April 8th, 2010 · No Comments

From time to time you may notice a certain ineptitude.
You traversed the ocean and came back with a cowry pressed
against your ear that speaks in spirals originating from your
breath. Someday you will realize it’s the fire you crave in your
lungs, my hot conjecture, and it will burn.

There is a problem.
It exists on expiration Mondays.
The files are processed on Monday
But the files are not found.
The problem is the finder.
He’s looking for a match.
He should have a plan when there’s no exact match.
He should be prepared to retry - he should be prepared to download the latest file regardless of the datepart

media created zombies

March 17th, 2010 · No Comments

Media doesn’t really entertain
zombies - it created the zombies. Look at
the ratio of people reading material vs.
writing it — on the train I would say
per 1000 people, 200 are reading and
1 is writing. “What are you writing?
Why? What gives you the
nerve? The intelligence?” “Oh, it’s
for SCHOOL. Or CORRESPONDENCE.”
Or “making a list of to-do’s.”
Those are socially […]

The most effective way to care about the future is to see it as a living breathing entity.
Hush; I am enjoying a secret love affair with myself.

to my son

March 11th, 2010 · No Comments

I dream that tomorrow is coming
I live for today because it is all that is guaranteed
Even if today was the last day
It would still be a success
I dream of you and me feeling warm to each other
Of understanding
A complete understanding
of thought
of cadence
of our hearts beating in synchrony
And that dream becomes a reality
every time you are […]

foot massage, wild west cafe, with hairbrush

February 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment

me giving
a foot massage to A., and then she
retires and I continue on someone else.
It is very platonic and full of
yearning, but knowledge that is
different, or more than, physical…
Next I come to a cool,
inner city-meets-Western frontier
sort of cafe, with lots of wood and
stale air. I order a double decaf latte,
and the barista nods in acknowledgment.
I […]

kitchen the size of a restaurant

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

A party hosted by N. and his wife.
He shows me his kitchen, which is incredibly
long, almost like the size of Hutchinson
Commons, although more rectangular. At
the far end, probably 90 feet from the
entrance, is the range and sink. On the
way there, I encounter various islands,
eating areas, prep areas, all lit beautifully
by fixtures. There is also a […]

of mothers i dream

February 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Of a portrait of a young girl, a woman
in her early 20’s, desperate, despondent,
tired of life, disappointed by abusive men
and her saddled life with a baby.
Large part of her disappointment with
adult life is due to her failures in it,
that were partly due to her lack of
preparation for it. She was left emotionally
immature by the infantilizing […]

of lectures i dream

February 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Of an Islamic convention; The speeches
were laughably boring + pretentious,
in one ear, out the other. The
fun was to be had in the gallery,
watching others, flirting and sitting with
them. The convention went on and on, speeches
lasting until the brink of dawn, and
me doing prayers, the motions at least,
in my own way, with shoes on.
And me babysitting […]

fuck the poetry center

January 28th, 2010 · No Comments

what a presumption to call yourself the center of poetry, housed as you are in the art institute, that racket bent on selling postcards and day planners.
when i own the material and inspiration for creating a world of words outside your marble doorways.
fuck the poetry center. poetry is within me, unaligned and unaffiliated, i bow […]

As Sally turned to walk out that flaccid doorway, she turned with all the heft of her gathering moss and declared, “Dammit, Johann. I tried to learn from you. I tried to show you that a student is a teacher’s greatest gift, the only manifestation of a questionable talent. But you treated me like a […]

The True Story of Charlie Wilson’s War

January 25th, 2010 · No Comments

This is an interesting “homage” to a gun-smuggling member of Congress. It’s compelling in and of itself, but the story has been sanitized of any unsavory details of the undoubtedly sordid reality.

This chump is lame and
doesn’t even know it. Nobody likes him
and he is socially retarded. He didn’t
get enough love at home and hates
himself. Poor guy. Life from his angle must
suck. People like to harm him because he has harmed them.

An incestuous dream, me with mother. I have been with myself many times, auto-fellatio, and anal sex with my boys. What does it mean? I am repressed, and want more than marriage offers. Oh well, dreams…
Dreamt I was in a convention hall, and waiting for A. to finish a presentation. Then it was her turn […]

Midnight and I’m looking for a
free lunch fatter than a cheap thrill,
what’s waiting for me knows no
bounds + tells no white lies.
Fast cars + fast women are the
only vehicles that make decisions,
the surgeon made a bunch of cuts
but left only one incision.
Nobody chooses to ripen like cheese,
everybody sours like vinegar,

yesterday’s paychecks

October 27th, 2009 · No Comments

Crayola heartbeats steal meats from
slovenly dinosaurs while wholesale musty
regattas earn purchase on cartwheeling stilettos
of mutton-chop fortitude. Insolvent holly-
lipped gangrened interns sip holocaust
marmalade scones rapaciously through
rubber-necked safety straws while their myo-
cardial intellect reaches subterranean
armistice on a rubber-stamped committee’s
bedpan. The homeless pisspot au-gratin
makes heat from yesterday’s paychecks while
their tongueless cousins stir bottomless
cups of tetrahedron sausage by electric
wafflelight. […]

Song for the winnowing wheat

He comes in like crumpled leather, blaming every angle under the sun. Soon he is sipping the finest oil under the sun, solving the world’s problems, burning a candle through his eyes. His fingers create as many problems as they solve, he has hacked everything together, much the same as me. But architecture eludes us, […]
