  • white bears

     

    In a bright room

    Of bright white coats

    We sit in scientific meditation

    Watching the passing

    Of clipboards and the

    Voice of authority telling us

    To think of anything but
    White bears. 

     

    Of course,

    Amidst a penguin bevy of

    Ambitions’ froth and surfing

    Or the drumming of pens ticking,

    And splashes of dinner cooking,
    The fur and colour

    Are all I see

    In the greedy forced
    Forgotten hands
    Of memory.

     





    the colossus (goya)



     

    irony

     

    Beans in a makeshift pan

    Are cooked with the blue
    Flame of sternos stolen from

    A wedding banquet. 

     

    The breeze of joy

    Rides stolen from the
    Nodding winged eyes of
    Red jacket seraphim
    Offering a little justice.

     

    The multi-harmony tunes
    Make you charge
    Viscerally at a wall
    Where images prance
    Of a helluva good time.

     

    But you might be

    Surprised to find

    The party’s for you.
    But you’ll crouch to huddle
    With beans and sardines

    As you piss, moan

    And rage.





    around the cake (w. thiebaud)



    re: Sudan

    “We want to see dramatic improvements on the ground right now. But despite the promises that have been made, we have yet to see these dramatic improvements. Only actions, not words, can win the race against death in Darfur,” Powell told reporters in Washington on Thursday.

    France refuses to
    acknowledge the bad.  But Human Rights groups and the US combine to think differently.   One case where the “no blood for oil” cry involves a country other than the US. TotalFinaElf has by far the largest holdings.  



    FRIDAY!



    Awesome:



    we were shootin’ at a mountain of dirt…

  • i LOVE that cake picture… and that banjo in modest mouse.

  • i first heard modest mouse in a paul frank store. i asked the guy with hair like sideshow bob, what band is this?! and he whipped out his CDs, curls bobbing, grin widening, delighted to spread the appreciation!
    it’s difficult to understand irony these days.  everything’s beyond me it seems.  i’ll just wait til everything in my mind sorts itself out.  adrift, appreciating your poetry and the posted art.
