You haven't looked at me that way in years
You dreamed me up and left me here
How long was I dreaming for?
What was it you wanted me for?
You haven't looked at me that way in years
Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear
Someone turn the lights back on
I'll love you til all time is gone
You haven't looked...

FLESH THEORY
Morning.
My lips wade on a shoulder blade
as I hook an arm around and seize
a breast n press
something hard against her backside. It
presses back. The eyes fall shut
in a swoon. And the whole thing's
awfully pleasing, although ineffably so,
for this is not the language
of the id; here I am enthralled
by the dialogue of bodies.

Can you take a picture of the back for me? I want to see what it looks like all stamped - it's this long-time fetish I have for rubber stamps on mail 
Serendipity doesn't sound right - isn't that more about discovering goodness in life? My feeling is that the progs in question are more about some mysterious third party purposefully coming to and showing people the good in things. A slight, but important, difference. I agree with 'hope', though. Confidence in life. Faith. Yes.
..."for this is not the language of the id..."
I like.
Where have I been? Man, I'm not so damn sure my damn self. Easy answer... heh... "easy".... relationship struggles and bliss. A new long-distance thing, and it's so very sweet, and so very difficult. It's driving me crazy in good and bad ways both. Been focusing all of my time and energy on that, plus doing some psychological house cleaning... old shit from way back surfacing. Dealing with that. And etc.
But I'm here. And back in the swing, I reckon.
Glad you liked the poem and the art. Thanks! Can't wait to see those pictures realized. Those are digital sketches made from my own photos of textures. Look just like my paintings, though. You get a real good idea of what I do from looking at them.
Bouville looks great. Really nice issue. Did I tell you that already. my brain has been so shot-out.
Hey... you think it would be a okay if I promoted the new Bouville on the "Working Artists" and "Artists" boards? I could use the promotion, and you might get some nice traffic. "Working Artists" is a decent, diverse group, but "Artists" is kind of stuck in this glorification of a conception of a Punk/Goth wonderland in their tastes , for the most part. But it might be worth a shot.
Wanted to run it up the flagpole, and see who salutes...but I wanted to check it out with you first. So let me know what you think...

SPANISH-CANADIAN
And then there was
the girl who wanted me to
sing for her in Spanish
on her birthday, as I'd
spontaneated once before
in what must have seemed
a romantic gesture
when in fact I only needed
something to occupy my
hands and mouth once
our stormy little folly
had evaporated fully
in the daylight
For reasons I...

san diego is full of pod people and has the best weather ever. arizona is all mystic and shit and is hot as balls.
good times
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah
- yes
y'all behave yourselves! i'll bring you sticks of rock.
Good news about the Bouville.
Aspasia does great photography.
No harm in asking her. I'll ask, ok?
Consider the controversy en route.
By the way - what's up with the half-formed hoolet on Bouville where 'Honeymoon' should be?
"Drab as a fool, aloof as a bard."
"do what thou wilt, barring shameful perversions of whom, shall be the whole of the law"
I agree!
Palindromes were my first words-toys. I've never really understood their creation, but they are wonderful friends.
hehe glad you liked my photos.. no one ever told me i look like poet before
my funny
valentine
sweet comic
valentine
you make me smile
with my heart
your looks are laughable
unphotographable
yet you're my favorite
work of art
is your figure
less than greek?
is your mouth
a little weak?
when you open it to speak
are you smart?
but don't
change your hair for me
not if you care for me
stay, little valentine
stay
each day...

What did you do, use that Babelize thing on everything?

Lines For The Fortune Cookies
I think you're wonderful and so does everyone else.
Just as Jackie Kennedy has a baby boy, so will youeven bigger.
You will meet a tall beautiful blonde stranger, and you will not say hello.
You will take a long trip and you will be very happy, though alone.
You will marry the first person who tells you your eyes...

yeah man, it's an awfully esoteric business. though i'm sure if you tell a poet "i can't relate to your writing", they will argue that you just don't understand it, and that's not their problem. and so on.
On the infrequent occasions that I write poetry I've always written for me. I don't care if it's accessible (or even intelligible) to other folk, and I'm more than quick to tell them so.
That doesn't stop me from touting it like the bloated prize boar at a three dollar country fair.
The Quiet World
In an effort to get people to look
into each other's eyes more,
the government has decided to allot
each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it
to my ear without saying hello.
In the restaurant I point
at chicken noodle soup. I am
adjusting well to the new way.

I will keep an eye out for the new Bouville. Man, poetry is a hard-sell. But the ones that are really good are really fucking good.
well, not really. more of a shot in the dark. i'm hoping to poach a photographer for Rain Over Bouville. my friend Lucy Wren has contributed in the past but these days her creativity is somewhat consumed by her studies, and i get tired of nagging her for new material when she has real work to worry about.
