I won second place at the slam last night.

Go me!

Here's the revised version of the "I Want You" poem that I actually read

I Hope You're Not Vain If You Think This Poem is About You

I want you,
and not in that collared and chained
leashing up your life and leashing up your brain
kinda way.

I want you,
and not in...

First draft. Feel free to bash. tongue

I want you,
and not in that dog and chain
leashing your life and your brain
kind of way.

I want you,
and not in that fucking you raw
until the morning light and then hopping the next
out-of-town-bound train
kind of way.

I want you,
and not in that marble and bronze
statued girlfried hanging
on my wall...

This is slightly... it's a bit avant garde. Something new I'm trying.

To His Coy Mistress (The Slam Poet Remix)

Had we but fuck enough, and Time,
This fuckness Lady were no fuck.
We would fuck down, and think which way
To fuck, and fuck our long fuck's Day.
Thou by the Indian fuck's fuck
Should'st Rubies fuck: I by the fuck
Of Humber would...

I Will Learn to Love the Smell of Communion Wafers in the Morning

A swirling tricklish whisper drip-drops into my aural lobes,
"Rant, ramble, and ridicule. Never let slip the three R's of slam."

I soaked the suggestion for a second and spewed a smarmy spit-take back,
"Dear Disembodied Voice, didn't you forget Repetition and Redundancy?
And naturally the expert-only Flying V of VOOOOOLLLLLLUUUUMMMMMEEE!!"

Slam loses a touch of its verve when read rather than recited. From what I've read, it's better than 90% of the Orlando stylists.

I think that I officially resign myself to lurking for a while.

Stirring up discussion has proved to be a relatively unfruitful and somewhat frustrating act. It seems somewhat inevitable that ego, stubborness, and other related bad things will tend to get in the way of two people sitting down and just *talking* about something.

That's what I love, in my heart of hearts.

Well it's understandable but don't go a lurkin' - you asked a fascinating question which as you pointed out to me did get some kind of answer. (How many threads get to 14 pages, even if much of it was acrimony)?

I just think it would be a shame, that's all.

Vonnegut is a God though, (even though he often bugs the hell out of me), but his writing is so intelligent & humanistic I always forgive him.

Hard Liquor for the Fevered Ego

I am a pubic curl of lint drowning in the juice of a fuzzy navel,
a spot aiming to be spectated against a background of black,
angry souls pitched against the brick walls of societys halls.

Black not as in skin but as in blacklisted,
spider-kissed by domestic long-neck drafts of controversy,
and black as in blowin in the...

So...

I'm cast into the waters of confusion once more, dodging pirates and rocky cliffs and fishing around my mind/heart/soul/etc. for some glimmer of something.

Girl troubles, what else right?

Long-distance + Secluded Girl + Declerations of Apology but Necessity of/for Seclusion = Confused Boy = Me.

wow, you even confused me!.. have you talked things through with her?.. yeah, i know that is obvious... but i mean truly said everything that had to be said? and maybe some more...

I am smile about your radio show!.. where do you go to school (if i may ask that is)?

and finally i think that you have no need for the skin dealership...smilewink

take care confused boy!
5alvani:
I didnt take it as it being about ugly, but then again i didnt take it as it being about being white... i took it as you trying to say that being yourself was hard and wanted to have an escape for just a while.. sorry..

I've got my own radio show at the campus station now, yipee!

Although I can't play anything with profanity, explicit drug references, or heavy sexual innuendo.

Still... I can whip out all that Autechre...

Another day, another slam.

I went to another Poetry Slam last night, and I did fairly well for myself. Made it to the second round this time, although I think that I ended up in 5th place since everyone in the second round scored better than I did.

Although that's not saying a great deal, because practially no scores were under 9.0. Besides, I blame...

The Skin Dealership Wont Return My Calls and Its Starting to Hurt My Feelings

My skin was imported from Germany,
shipped across a Trans-Atlantic Autobahn into my mothers womb and
custom-fitted to my fetusical-form, factory guaranteed to stretch though adolescence.

The catalogue read weiss,
but a pinch or two of sand must have fallen into the gears of translation
as my fleshy coveralls reflected more...

I went to a poetry SLAM tonight, and the poem that I read placed me a mere two tenths of a point away from the top three and the second round.

A crime that was noted not just by myself but also by the host who asked me to come up and read again anyway even though I didn't score well enough to earn a...
