I was thinking about the spikes along a spectrum and what a contrast between incisive/chsarp and the kind of gradual, smooth blend of a continuum

Hey, gang...

I feel I must apologise to anyone who, lately, has been attempting to have an online conversation with me.

The past week has been crazy!


A few months back, after living a closed-circuit gypsy lifestyle with my girlfriend, we broke up, and I moved into my elderly grandmother's unoccupied house with my mother, whose fiance had left her quite suddenly.

Well, just as...

from: five poems for Frank O'Hara


(clarity)

Did you see the paper bearing twilight?
When you're feeling sexy, I guess
You hold your breath. I want
To hear more about
English hiding under cheekbones

Pretending to be roses...


(five)

Kill time stares back.

The idea they were afterwards
Is not to master understanding
But to whistle stretched against
The sunning harps

Waving beyond the corpse...

You may also want to look at this one (and the ones at the bottom of the page). Though it'll cost you a pretty penny.

I wonder of your birth. What
Nurse of bruised-feet made
An enemy of fear? I wonder

At the voice of crow and lion,
The cry of slighted beast made
Whole, the caw and the purr, the hurt

Of human heart now made to laugh.
Who laughed as the broken water trickled?

Who strapped the blood to the bandage made still?

llona:
I'm sorry you feel that my choice to remove you from SGATL was elitist. I let you into the group even though you'd never come out to any events, which I almost never do. That was hardly elitist. The front message for SGATL states very clearly that it is a social group with the express intent for socializing in and around Atlanta.

All you needed to do was to post why you weren't coming to the party. I accept most excuses for non-participation at events, if members are actively engaged in the message board. You have made a few random posts, have never attended an event, and did not post in the holiday thread. I clearly stated that I would be deleting members who were not participating or did not have an excuse.

Perhaps you feel that the rules of SGATL membership are arbitrary, but they have been carefully decided upon by the majority of its members to ensure optimal group interaction and the least amount of lurking. It is a social group, remember? You have the right not to participate, and I have the right as moderator to enforce the rules for the greater good of the members who are consistent and involved. I think you'll find that the vast majority of local groups operate this way.

Please know that there are no hard feelings on my part toward you, I am just doing my job. Thank you for the feedback.

You're cage

And so am I

Knuckles dark as silver. Pavement

Of cremation, the dust

Of celebration, stamped-truth

Between the boot and youth. ( I walked

Upwards a mile. I returned all the while

In falling. I lost my calling with a wet throat.

I learned of the layer, not the coat. It's cold.

"What is?"

It.

Dude I'm talking about the 60 ounce bottles!

There's a movie coming to town next week about Andy Goldsworthy. I forget what it's called but I'm really looking forward to it.

I just came back after being off site for a while but man, is there ever a lot of stuff in your profile that used to me in mine.
I'm a huge Swans fan, I'm listening to Satyagraha as I type, the last CD I bought was CRASS - Christ The Album and there's a Schabel poster on the wall beside me.

And Kudos. You're the first person in 2+ years to recognise Clemente.

I live in the boondocks so I'm more than a little disconnected from contemporary art.
I had no idea there was Schnabel bashing going on.
Jesus, has art become like music where your image and "ethos" is more important than your creative output??

I'm not so much into early Swans.
My favourite period is the "White Light" era but I too adore Soundtracks for the Blind.
I saw the Children of God tour which at the time was the loudest show I'd ever seen.
I've seen Jarboe at a club in Portland and seen Gira do spoken word.
Gira is very, very imposing in persona but really quite easy to talk to.
He made me a little sad.

pouting stems from desiring certain intimacies that are denied to me by the frivolity of distance and the responsibility of my counterpart to his studies. makes me cranky in the pants, it does. and now i've developed the female equivalent of blue balls, a consternation not easily remedied and usually accompanied by a headache.

grr. top it off with the fact that i am having a weepy weird day, and that's the making's for wackiness. an orgasm not elicited from masturbatory practices is the only thing that will cure me.

thus, i pout

fuck.

is this brand new? if so, i admire your celerity! and of course your form in general. smile

i don't know the name of the route, but the bus was a 4C and it was about 10:30. i was thinking i'd just date it (08/12/05) and leave it at that. i hate giving titles.

i finally got round to submitting something to Litkicks.com after your suggestion. it's called Joining The Mass. no comments yet but it's nice to see it share a board with some cool other work.
