Six Ways to Kill a Man
There are many cumbersome ways to kill a man:
you can make him carry a plank of wood
to the top of a hill and nail him to it. To do this
properly you require a crowd of people
wearing sandals, a cock that crows, a cloak
to dissect, a sponge, some vinegar and one
man to hammer the...

SOUNDTRACK

blaring forth in the background tinny and scratchy
a record on the gram-o-phone

oh everytime it rains
it rains pennies from heaven
don't you know each cloud contains
pennies from heaven



A SOUND

last night i was so depressed and i sat down and read the bible and turned to the book of revelations and if we would just read the good book and apply it to every day life

Sisters
brothers
and the whities,

Blacks and the crackers,
Police and their backers,
They're all political actors.

Hurry,
people running from their worries,
While the judge and his...

can i have fifty pounds to mend the shed?

It's Father's Day, so I am observing the holiday by leaving my father alone.

Still processing the events of Friday. Andy and I went over to Purvis' ultra-trendy loft apartment. He pays a ridiculously low rent payment a month because no one wants to live downtown anymore. As far as safety is concerned, it's right across...

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine

the party.

girls
sneak downstairs
brush
noiseless
past

leaning over
stairwells
listening quietly.

i don't mean to interrupt private conversations.

I write like this when I'm high. That piecy kind of poetry that doesn't really make too much sense to people who weren't really there. But I love it. It always seems to have more personal meaning that way.

AND I feel twice as special knowing what each line means as the inside-reader=)
beyond_rhythm:
And by the way...that last line is perfect. I love the double meaning of interupting actual conversation and interupting a moment. Beautiful. I live for those kinds of subtle inferences. It's what makes me love words so very very much...props to you, poet man=)

And btw, I have a poem in response to this...but you'll have to ask me for it. Because I'm feeling fiesty. That's why.

Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference
Between a father and a lover

Men

They hail you as their morning star
Because you are the way you are.
If you return the sentiment,
They'll try to make you different;
And once they have you, safe and sound,
They want to change you all around.
Your moods and ways they put a curse on;
They'd make of you another person.
They cannot let you go your gait;
They influence...

Jubilee slouches in his settee
Hes losing all will to move

He got dippy
too much telly

He watching 24 hours of rubbish
He got butane
he got plastic bags

His eyes are going square
Hes no raver, just anti-social

He not going to cut his hair

He dresses incorrectly
No one told him how

Seventeen

He not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly

No one...

K was looking at power tools online.

"My, you are a dyke", I said.

She laughed.

I could just imagine life with her as a girlfriend. Or should I say, boyfriend. I'd be the woman, off to the mall to get my nails done, while she worked at the table saw. *BRRRRRRR*

We used to go shopping at Layne Bryant together, or as she called...
