As some of my friends here may know, I'm a mid-level manager at a Fortune 500 company. Very corporate. I only note this because of the context of what I'm about to tell you.
So one of the people on my team usually sits at his desk and eats a microwaved TV Dinner for lunch every day. Well, in the midst of eating it this...

SAMANTHA SODA
Human history pauses.
Reaction motion full stop, sputtering figures,
Samantha and you, two and two,
voices fading in an undefined space, a concrete
hallway that absorbs word and noise.
Distraction, collision, fingertip detachment, a final
release of sweaty ice filled hard paper cup, jumbo size
plummet hammer, Samanthas
face straight on, eye on eye, pop dropping drink,
pop dropping drink in this concrete...

i have to say- Jerry is a pretty cool guy
The story is this: over a period of about 3 months, the model has a brief, but intense relationship with a member of a rock band that travels through time. Though there is no evidence of the male lover in the photos, he brought a Polaroid camera with him and took some photographs of during his visits.

It looks like a neat show. I know it's been in SF, but I don't know where else. I secretly hope art spiegelman will be at the opening reception, but I don't know how likely that is.

MILK TATTOO
I am the eater of bacon and bread.
You are the princess, milk-face, ultra tattoo.
Rulers of the hackneyed corners of this hairy, flustered,
dish cracking room.
Landed in softness. Hampered in loom.
That cornflower sweater is wrapping. It unwraps.
That T-shirt is netting. It releases. Those boots are
boxes. They unload. Those pants are
canvas tarps. They uncover. That brassiere is

I ws worried you were gone, glad to see you back
As she rolls backwards,
the telephone cord
wiggles between her
legs. Her tone is smooth:
I swear we should tie
the knot, I swear it.
My eyeballs are penned.
I follow the curve
of her back onto
a worn mound of clothes.
A bra dots it, a
snow capped peak. A vague
image, a faceless
phony brushed my
eyes. Her --- yet NOT her.

I'm glad it's your favorite because the poem you posted in my journal inspired it. You posted that same poem in my journal a while back..and I loved it so much I saved it. Stumbled across it again just the other day..and it started the wheels spinning.
Thank you.

Wow, great one. Reminded me of good ol' Ferlinghetti for some reason... a kind of pensive erotica, I think.
THAT TOUCH OF MINK
1)
She walks in Mink, hot pink
hear chimes, bite stars
and all thats best of human cotton.
True, the aspect of hazel eyes
marshmellow phase and chalky bubs,
sharp angel feathered cloud denial.
2)
Sheets your head, burn your bed
unwind, unhinge your crispy Bible
ripples on white glare pond patter
or powder puff pales oer her high cheek
candy...

I need to learn more ways to show appreciation for good poetry. I come and read you poems often, I honeslty do, but my comments do no justice to your words,. Dont hate me for not commenting much...I do read...
And what is pink but that which you cant hold in your hands?
The softness of your lips (rubber bands), twitching, moist, and expectant; you are ready to speak, engorged, you are ready to weep, enraged, your lips trembling, you remember anything, everything, wanting to be held but not wanting to be touched, you are pink, sweet, sweet, and pink, pink, pink.
Maybe Im guilty...

thanks for the words, my friend. excellent to hear on the studio time and current project... it's like therapy or something, I swear...
Yeah, the career switch can't happen soon enough... Though it's good to see that familiar face at work now...

I don't think it's a hoax--he talks about it at length on his board, both the project and his own personal faith. And Jamie Rich, about-to-be-former Oni editor, has mentioned it too, saying that Allred envisions it as being a massive project, page-wise. It's really wacky--we'll see what happens, I guess.
I don't go in for any of that religion business, and sometimes I tend to just assume that people I admire creatively think along the same lines as me. So it comes as a shock to learn that one of my very, very favorite comic artists--and someone who has consistently been one of my favorites for something like ten years now--is a very devout and suddenly very vocal Mormon.

yup cops do suck
Theres holes in your face, not only for breathing
holes in your face, and no regard for innocent life,
breaks in the wall and space left for eyes
drains in the earth and legs bending backwards
Your arms break back,
your car turns organic,
and sky balls churn in butter thick black soup to nuts.

The two Martian apes have split up, thus forcing you and your assistant to hunt separatelyThe tracks are clear, your heart beats faster, this time, you feel you really have found a quarry worthy of your skill!
Then suddenly, a horrid shriek rends the still airYou race to where the voice came from! Then you freeze in your tracks! Before you lies your lifeless assistant,...

i recently listened to a radio program of...was it 'the time machine'? hg wells? but your story totally reminds me of it...these strange ape creatures that live underground and are feeding on the oddly childlike people that seem to be their 'crop'. same spooky next of kin feeling. 
thank you for the miracle wishes! the tax thing is because i'm self employed and just didn't realize that to make it work you need to save every receipt and get an accountant. i naively thought i just would pay the same as everyone else, all at once, at the end of the year. but it's actually more, and then i did my taxes wrong last year so i owe back taxes...bleh. it's really comin down the pipeline....but your comment reminds me that magic can always be right around the corner.

Before things get any worse, Sgt. Stoner returns just in time, using his pistol to end the cat-and-dog death-duel. Pressing on, they see various creatures of the northern wilderness, including musk oxen and even a wolverine (who doesnt look a thing like Hugh Jackman!)
