What is truth?
Said the governor
A bowl stood by his hands
The man before him
Stood silently
Before the crowd and
their demands

the image
the world is draped by blue satin
a great fire burns behind
we say "stars"
the gods pull the satin
constellations shift
we connect the dots
A Cyclops stares down angrily
with his spotlight eye
and we say "moon"
like children
the world is draped by blue satin
a great fire burns behind
we say "stars"

constellations shift
we connect the dots
A Cyclops stares down angrily

Impression of San Francisco
Impression of San Francisco
At the end of continents
Cliffs falls into the sea
Gulls circled below
Where we stood
At the sidewalk's end
Houses crowded down hill
Grasping the street like little boys
In a tug-o-war with the tide
Someone painted Moa
On the building across from the hostel
He greeted us in the morning
a smiling Buddha rising in the east
Where are our tall mountains
That we might run into them
Hidden by the horizon I suppose
Don't ask me anything
Don't ask me anything
The busses smelt of piss
Dead men huddled in the back
We stepped over them
Someone told me that
Jesus would send blessings
For my five spot
And I thought of the mountains
Dreams too fade into the sea
Like broken sidewalks
Melting-melting-melting
Into piss and madness

A chihuahua in the hood
Variation on a theme
my little chihuahua
dose not know she is small
she divines herself a giant
she does not cower under the gaze of
mail-men, big dogs, strange looking folks hobbling about
old tom-cats,
barks with abandon at pit-bulls, trucks,
potential and actual ruffians or scoundrels
she walks like she owns the street
not a foot high, she towers over the corner
shows her teeth at dealers and junkies
my little chihuahua knows her true size

Beaumont is far from Lesbos
Still I pine under pines
Watching Pleiades set
Cursing fate and time
Yes, the moon drops first
Artemis follows the sisters
Perhaps the hunt is hers
I chase only your rain
To quench this painful thirst
Yes, the night is long
I sweat in my cold bed
As night drags into the dawn
I send to heavenly bodies
My pain, my need, my song

variation on PN
The night plows into me
I steady myself for the onslaught
how harsh she is blowing past
long blue robes trailing behind
in her wake, night-jasmine
to mock me, an old man writing alone
with dry finger tips
I know
beneath her gown, alabaster smooth
what dignity is left
when the night conspires against one
with black hair adorned by diamonds
what chance do I have
I steady myself for the onslaught
how harsh she is blowing past
long blue robes trailing behind

the street
The street 2
The street 2
The street knows not
He goes in knots
To and fro, to and fro
The street sits sly
Or slides silent by
Back and forth, back and forth
The street wraps the world
While poets rap their words
Round and round, round and round
On the street the street's on you
In and out the street wants to
Assume your bones, assume your guts
The street needs bold blood,
To turn to mash or mush to mud
Me and you me and you

summer
summer collects in the gutters
gets tangled in fur of wild cats
drops on the backs of lady bugs slides
off her perfect spotted smoothness
she unhinges her wings
summer
is honey-suckle thick
an ovulation of magnolia
the earth is good
i'm looking for the transfer

step work
step work
we fathom down fathoms down
must we sink, yet never drown
to breath the thin watered air
and spy the gorgon that sleeps there
sleep it must in dark see caves
among past divers in murky graves
fearful hearts were frozen stone
who choked to death and sank alone
deeper still must mariners sink
demand air from water when on the brink
of death must rip the monster's flesh
to deliver himself, now born afresh

Postmodern Break Manifesto for Quantic
Postmodern Break Manifesto for Quantic
Comrade: This is a transmission sent via a break at 5 am. Dig? It is captured and via the groove committee. Comrade: Let us excavate ourselves from dusty crates to create funk mashups. The world as re-con-text. Comrade: if all is text then what truth is next? I can’t say. Speech is second rate, and writing simply difference. As you know it is wrapped in its own absence. But not breaks comrade. Breaks are all being. Breaks are all there, all here, all at once, all ways, mocking time, looped but perpetual. They unwind themselves in the cells, like strands of DNA, with bass kicks for proteins. They inhibit your dreams like naked angles. They infuse themselves into the air, so that you long for them like breath. Comrade: Are we not living through the last act? Is this not the last heaving joke of a dying world? Is this not the time of burn-out ? But breaks comrade! Breaks will never burn out. They will reanimate like frozen amoeba on comets after all this passes. They never go anyplace. They spin their theories around tribal fires and in binary blinks moving as code at the speed of light. They are as old as man, older. They were here at the beginning, god said let there be breaks, and there was great cosmic 16 bar grooves whirling out into infinity. They are still whirling, through all of us. Comrade: Thus you hear them. Thus you are moved.

Ask the winged goddess for a hint or sign
Perhaps she’ll let you see.
Through the darkened glass her mind
Whatever Forms might be.
Perhaps she’ll search her database
And cite the proper page,
Or she’ll lead you on a blind seers chase
To never play the sage

Bonobo in Ameirca
Standing in the doorway of a junk shop, hair purple, evil cracked face sucking cigarette smoke, face contorts. Rotting America. Big bouncing Bonobo under a moo-moo, on the game show, new ultra light juice maker, just as justice is just ass, hey look. Yawl crazy, say, yes, yall my niggas. What did you expect of them? I feel as though you are headed for some terrible crash, where everyone turns gray and whittles away under the lights of ten-thousand television sets. What did you expect of them? Ha. Prometheus? Right. Kiddies got Daddies Adieus’ Addie ride single gear bikes, yawl no yawl my niggas, my dogs. Go sniffing back to their vomit, one laughs until hemorrhage, bloody sardonic sneer, teeth smeared, what did you expect? A seer? Sheer idealism. Blind Sardinian from Create. Certain Cretan bards. Yea right. Drinking out of cups.
Did you go hunting like Holden? Did you dawn a feathered cap. Did you see them piss on each other in bathtubs. On my face, on my face just not in my hair. Etc.., Did you go dreaming like Basquiat under the breaking surf of the dawn, waves of light blasting your hair, Spike Lee style, only to find a pawn shop on the corner and a chicken head. Go figure.

Pathos
Pathos (Zealots Mix)
In Sardinia we laugh until hemorrhage
We claw our eyes out from the podium for public sport
The fat is torn from our bones by the Sphinx
We languish like lotus eaters dripping VD with temple whores
In Rome mothers bear the belly that bore them monsters
Asks a Praetorian to cut it open smiling
Our heads fall off like over-ripe poppies from the stem
Along the Via 100,000 slaves are crucified
From Crete to Rome stinking in the noon sun
Flies darken the horizon and the overwhelming perfume of dried blood
Sickens the soldiers who stand guard, poking them
To see if they still live
