For Sinnead O’Conner:
I’m sorry I didn’t get you then (Saturday Night Live, early 90’s) but I’m feeling you now(LA Times interview, P.3, approx. 5/5/2010)
GUILTY WITH AN EXPLANATION
To help the Roaming Catlick Church
Grow up Behind the sex abuse scandal
(I know, poor choice of words…
Not helpful)
Your unfortunate approaches
(Again, not helpful…)
Forgot…
Something……….
Somehow.
Modeled on Jonathan Swift’s ‘Irish Solution’
You forgot,
That was a parody
Not a policy
And maybe you don’t know
In California
Guilty with an explanation
Is an unacceptable plea
Because you have never
Appeared
In traffic court
Never been instructed
That it is not an option
In this world
To say, Sorry Guilty with an Explanation,
Not even in the lowliest
Of venues.
You are not righteous
Your chi is weak,
Instead of suicidal tendencies
You forced on us
And a pathological aversion
To truth and honesty, those
Clandestine machinations of yours…
Why don’t you do something
To liberate my soul.
If you won’t go away
Since you are…
Infallible
Think of something else
Something not as easy
Shallow
Ineffectual and hollow
As an apology
Something less egocentric than
A house cleaning
Something not sounding in Law
Like giving unto Ceasar (“Gee, we can’t make you whole,
So coin of the realm will have to do.”)
Is divine inspiration
In my lifetime
Too much to ask of you?
Are you beyond repair?
On a spiritual plane
In the battle of good
And evil
I do not speak war criminal.
Are you the hopeless
Corrupter ,
The banality of evil
Or just irrelevant?
How do we make you understand
Omission is conduct
Just like official Vatican silence during the Holocaust
Do you intend to silence your best warriors
And reduce Holy Scripture to maudlin
Dust
To be blown away
In this storm.

The ancient Irish believed that a poet
Could kill with satire.
Reported in LA Times, May 12, 2010

Channeling Imogen Heap (sort of):
ON WHY THEY THINK I AM BI-POLAR
Or
THE PROXIMATE CAUSE OF YOUR DISCOMFORT
(THE ENERGY THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO BLOW ME …OFF)
It is just past first light
Not yet the time for Dawn Patrol
Day 12 of another cycle,
What Bill W. experienced as an awakening
Profound enough to relieve him of the craving
And conquer alcoholism,
But what you call
Manic euphoria.
May 13, 2010
Where are we:
Struggling
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking feeling
Heavy ,
Onset of anhedonic lethargy
This morning, for the first time in a
Weak,
Instead of an Africanized Messian
Composition
The conference of the birds is
Automatic ,
Devoid of lyrical empathy
Just another transcript from Nature’s
Court reporter.
And I was thinking
Maybe it’s true that we all
Pass thru the physical universe at
Different rates of speed
And I remembered things:
2 am, leaving the gas station
Across the way from the book
Depository where Lee Harvey Ozwald
Made that kill shot, and I hit an oil patch
As I accelerated
My Norton’s real wheel spun out,
I put down my foot
The bike spun in a circle , still upright
And only the rubber of the left foot rest was worn away;
And I am thinking
Christopher Isherwood wrote “I am a camera”
I am a camera
I am a camera that captures
Lateral thought
I am out of phase because
These expressions pulse ¼ of a second ahead of our stipulated subconscious consensus
Irritating the rhythm of American
Cultural perception
An aesthetic,
Banal complexity
That is
Proximate cause of the energy that
Makes you want to blow this off (Thankyou for sharing, David…
Up next, a glimpse into the troubled world of people who say, “Derf!”)
Hypothesis: We have created an anthropological
Speed trap as we pass thru the universe
To compensate
For our fear of God’s vast imagination.
Maybe, since their music is cool
I should try Mali.
So where are we,
Passing thru the universe at different rates of speed,
And maybe, if there is a God,
He’d be so vast he’d look different
To everyone
And maybe pleasured moments
Would return to walls (oops, there goes gravity)
So, spin me around again
Yes, do it
And if you feel it too
Lay a flower, in the snow
Or at least send your regards
And have a nice lifestyle
Don’t forget to breathe
As the hands of man sweep across the face of the world.

EPITAPHS SHOULD NOT END
IN QUESTION MARKS
At 3:00 in the morning
You can face any direction
And it is still night.
Is that why Jamie said,
“Acid is a jungle gym
At 3:00 in the morning.”

The title of this idea is upwelling.
Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomena where surface conditions draw cold deep water to the surface. My coastal water experience of upwelling occured most frequently in Southern California when southern hemi swells hit.
UPWELLING
this is the truth

this is not a limerick,
punnishment from the underground
ON GROWING UP
I am not a psychic
I am.........mental
I am not a kidney anymore
I am a.............wise guy
For example
When i learned that pi is an
Irrational number
I experienced empathy and envy
Pi goes on forever
I am........transitory, finite
Pi cannot be rounded off
You have been trying to round me off my whole life
Ahh, defiance expressed in an
Adolescent philosophy of mathematics
Isn't it wonderful

DERF
On my creative process,
Dr. J
Of course I want to do things
Your way
Breathe
Avoid conflict
Enjoy life
(As) a pillar of the community
Membership in respectable
Pier group, a veteran viet nam era
like water
with strength
patience, endurance
a perpetual flow state
prosperity
wisdom
love
vulnerability
asymptomatic
and i look into this hall of mirrors
and i wonder
am i delusional
like the shining
all work and no play
no i can't get any play from this
and jack a dull boy and all
is it credible
can you see what i see
and, if you do
is it worth the effort
how am i driving.......
this long distance manic euphoria.
LOSER
One delusion
A palpable god
Symbiotic
The secret made perfectly clear
There are no secrets this year.
Obey only this law
The master plan
Peace and happiness
Are active verbs
Like you got one shot
Over and over
Because 10,000 bodhisattvas
Wait
Now it is personal
Fuck off world
