this poem showed up...it's from 2002
without form to exhibit or am i suppposed to
leap horizontal on catholic 3 a.m. frame bed is theater
when i slay for 20 hours the fine seldom erotics
hairy descending calves to toe clusters served in tortured pieces
of interruption, elements divide as a heart—
shaped mathematical wrist swerve at the slipknots
every sweat you gave as...
my tarot for today
Whirlwind: Winds of change bring new visions, opportunities. A god-send or stroke of luck. Outer turmoil concealing inner truth. Stretching your boundaries. Reaching a turning point. Unseen forces churning below the surface. A good time to honor your gods.
i'm reading
i’m reading homosexual desire by hocquenghem and i’m reading eroticism by bataille and i’m reading various printed presentations from AGGRESSION conference panelists and i’m reading excerpts from various printed presentations from AGGRESSION conference panelists (as david and i are publishing some of them in the next Try! magazine—pasted up last night!), and i’m...

helio / trope
is what we expect of our writing…can that be true of our lives? i’m worried that the post below is too shallow, doesn’t go deep enough, but the question is compelling, and this is where i currently am. something is here. radical / roots digging, is there semina? what is it’s nature and form? what is imposed upon it? does it stand a chance? is it in topiary? in pavement...
slippage
what is it to EMBODY negative capability? in poetics, in personal life, and in a broader political / civil / social / cultural context? i’m considering this, and admittedly at the very beginning of this consideration. it is a personal consideration, and it is a radical personal consideration. is it possible to be in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after...

i am pedro almodovar
my poem I AM PEDRO ALMODOVAR just came out as a tiny book from 24th street irregular press. the whole book is half the size of a business card! i love it! the series is called poems-for-all and it’s a publishing project richard hansen has been working on since 2001. in that time, he has done roughly 800 of these books (some w/o permission such as the artaud, the spicer,.. some with...
becoming a shape of sort
i thought it would be interesting to put up a poem i started last night, which is neither revised nor finished…much of this is drawn from some poems a friend was reading me aloud in both the original language and in translation, while i was writing…a sketch to be continued—- . they ate wind, walked sideways in wonder who, Baby, do you love, this transformation, this ease to...

whirlwind weekend of parties and bbq’s and readings. lots of margaritas, lots of beer, lots of sun. lots of tooling around the east bay, dancing, and drunken, honest conversations w/ mis compadres & commadres. didn’t make it home much. hence, i know someone who probably DIDN’T have such a good time:

the marrow of caesar genitals
i thought i’d spend the whole night reading instead i spend the whole night writing— 4 poems simultaneously and all totally different is this the multi-tasking contemporary flashflash interupter-consciousness carried over from worklife into my artlife?? . not sure, but this time i’m not complaining.
one of the poems from tonight:
PHILLIP WHALEN IN MY LIVING ROOM LAST NIGHT you who do collapse in a dream, with no bucks no benjamins . the face plucked out you make me frolic in my blood . i don’t know what to call this thing i’m about to declaim . it hath the gift of healing ready to cook my goat-head with the shoulder bone she stuck it where...

letter to nicoloff
hey michael nicoloff, i noted on your blog (http://nicoloff.blogspot.com/) what’s been said regarding your reading at the new series, and thought i’d tell you i thought it was a fucking brilliant reading, and i’ve been hearing your voice and cadences in my head ever since. here’s something i wrote w/ those cadences running in mind, though of course our work cannot help but...

so it’s may day…here on the ole blog, i’d like to give a nod to the achievements of the labor movement (8 hour day, yo! weekends! …tho i’d prefer to work even less…). may day also commemorates the anarchists of the haymarket affair, in addition to the strides of the labor movement - thus it is a day to remember that yes, our government has in the past, and...

highlights from earthworm reading series #1
for me to intelligently talk about the multifarious nature of the earthworm reading at my place this past friday is just too daunting at this precise moment, as i am in a much too-tired state this fine monday. i will say, however, that this was like no other reading i’ve been to lately…it couldn’t have been a better beginning to this fledgling series! to begin, we said...

ok. if you hypothetically (or actually) knew me, say, 10 years ago, you would be shocked at this post. cause, man, i never liked the smiths. i kind of had the impression that morrissey was a whiner (untrue??)…haha. but the tide turned maybe 5 years ago. and right now, i’m rockin them mucho. i mentioned this to julie, who has been my friend for 16 years, and her response was...
