Tightrope WalkerI work without a net these days--don't praise-- This is no symbolic gesture It's bravery-plaited brass, not solid through I curl into a smile, but fetally too Don't praise! It's not some code, no Hemingway values here Unwrapping, undressing to the heart of things No! I'm not the high-minded poet prophet Criticizing the daily dance of wit and stumbleTightrope Walker
No. I gaze upon you. I gaze Like Echo now liberated, selfish and wild And I gaze and I find your ambiguous mind So lovely on paper, so painful in fact Flesh out the abstract and I'm lost without Words in a wildern


A Song for Shoveling CompostChin up. A fortune slip: You can't feel like shit When you're shoveling it. At twenty now you're ankle-deep, Up to the ankles in eggshells (long-cracked) and droppings And cardboard and wool and weeds And membranes and peels And panicking worms enmeshed between Red as your gums, thick as fingers. Chin up. Those go on your pile Others to feed, but not your ego; You can't shovel that to nourish others, To turn this mountain soil to delta plain. You give what you can; You feel the muck crumble to feast. Be that. Remember That food is filth transA Song for Shoveling Compost


ShalottI. Too much! Too much! Body lurching, stomach free-fall sinks Prickles alive as a doe in a clearing My hands, torn, pins and needles, useless I sing, I sing, "Too much! Too much!" With the current skipping too fast for breath The little stream ripples will render me naked Carry me to the castle a cargo of fleshShalott
II. She used to watch them from her tower O'er the bracken and the heather Hunting foxes, hunting vixens With their dappled steeds and curly hair She could weave each surging muscle Study every sun-carved angle Safe and sterile in her

Haha! That's pretty nifty! I guess that's what I get for having a very unusual favorite word (quixotic).

A good lie can walk from Baghdad to Constantinople while truth is looking for its sandals.

The truth does set you free, but first it really pisses you off.
