As roger miller so aptly said with

a slight change from moi:

England swings like a pendulum do
|
|
Poets on bicycles, two by two

Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben

The rosy red cheeks of the little children

NOT VERY CLOSE TO GROUNDHOG DAY
|
|
|
|
...---... ...---...
|
|
|
|
EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE BLUE PAPER TOWELS:
|
|
But I'll Tell You In Case You Don't Remember.
|
|
|
|
-=-the prime anarchist publisher column-=-
|
|
|
|
I drive up to the truckstop after playing at a small
|
|
local bar here called IQ's and three young women are at
|
|
the island where you throw away your empty quarts of oil
|
|
and your blue paper towels. Two of them are tending to the
|
|
cutest of the three as she pukes her guts out into the
|
|
island-ash-can.
|
|
I pass them and go in for my late nite snack and the
|
|
second thing I notice is that none of my usual friends
|
|
are here.
|
|
Secondly, what's playing on muzak satellite but
|
|
the Northern Exposure TV theme song. Every trucker in
|
|
this country right now - 3am eastern, midnite west of
|
|
me - every trucker tapped into muzak.sat as their mobil
|
|
ISP is listening to a dag-bloomed overfed moose walking
|
|
down a small old-fashioned cityblock main street past
|
|
a hardware store.
|
|
The sweetest-sounding guitarist in all of Brown County
|
|
just informed us all of two things. 1) their band is
|
|
breaking up because he's moving to Chicago for a great
|
|
tech support job. 2) Al Gore is still insisting on
|
|
claims he coined the phrase INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.
|
|
Well then, this must have been the scenario: Gore
|
|
logs into Infomaniack BBS at either 3, 12 or 2400
|
|
[does Al even know what a BAUD is???] and reads one of
|
|
about 50 posts using the words "information highway."
|
|
[Of course, he could have gotten this on
|
|
more than 900 other open BBS's, I don't
|
|
mean to elevate my little tenure as a
|
|
SYSOP too much.]
|
|
He probably tries marketing INFORMATION AUTOBAHN with
|
|
no luck. Infobahn's surely his next try and a great
|
|
embarrassment. Hardly anyone will take him seriously now.
|
|
I probably receive an Alliance Teleconference call from
|
|
someone and consensus leads to action and I probably
|
|
accidentally key his # instead of Al Bell's at about
|
|
2am some Sunday catching Gore coming out of a slow
|
|
steady funky Ibogaine fog; and he has to hear me tell him
|
|
"INFO... SUPO... HIGH WAY, AL.
|
|
'INFO HIGHWAY,' RUN WITH IT, AL. TAKE IT, THEY'LL FORGET
|
|
YOUR STIFFNESS, YOUR LACK OF TALENT, YOUR POOR WORD
|
|
CHOICE. EVEN THE FACT YOU MARRIED A NAZI. ALL WILL
|
|
BE FORGIVEN, AL..."
|
|
"Info-superhighway Al. Take! run! Don't look back.
|
|
You'll be adored. People will be speed-dialing
|
|
your name."
|
|
Of course Al wrote "bridge to the 20th century too."
|
|
And "a chicken in every pot?"
|
|
Al.
|
|
One small step...? Ask not what your...? Al, I'm telling
|
|
you. Homer's Odyssey, Dante's Inferno. Have you ever heard of
|
|
ghostwriters? That was all Al. All day, all night. All Al.
|
|
A fourth fellow runs for the blue papertowels wondering
|
|
if he doesn't have radiation poisoning from events 4,000
|
|
miles away.

REGRET a poem by amy ballinger
|
|
|
|
I took one glimpse then swallowed you whole.
|
|
I really only wanted your soul.
|
|
But you hid it deep inside,
|
|
Farther than even your emotions can hide.
|
|
Truly I savored nothing In the rush,
|
|
Telling my true feelings mainly to hush.
|
|
So here I lie next to you,
|
|
Feeling the lonely, and also the blue.
|
|
Please don't take this the wrong way,
|
|
But I won't stay here another day.
|
|
Because no matter how much we shape and mold
|
|
Our hearts will never be more than cold,
|
|
And pain has taught me all that I know,
|
|
And your kisses can only soften the blow.

semi-trailer that will be functioning as a container

for Los Angeles based donations. The container is in

a secured facility but is accessible regular business

hours only. Each month the trailer will be loaded into

a regular semi (also donated) and sped up to Black Mesa.

Already the October run, planned later this month has 12

invited back Bill Russell to instill

confidence in the team.

Sorry, love Bill, but that's like

They're done.

MY NAME IS RIVER NOLA
|
|
a poem by river
|
|
I am a woman of strength and courage and wisdom.
|
|
I stand on my own NOT a failure or victim.
|
|
The system corrupts and blinds the citizen.
|
|
I rise up and discover the higher nutrition
|
|
Of solitude and love and respect for the earth.
|
|
Our sustenance, our life, our mother of birth.

An ATI Either/Or Question:
|
|
As much as we hate them - they really do get things
|
|
done. They take care of business, and much better than
|
|
T/F or multiple guess questionaires; and to top it off
|
|
"americans" the world over have come to know and love them.
|
|
"Don't ask me some complex question about how I feel
|
|
or what I want, or even what I'd suggest. Boil it down
|
|
to an either/or and then let me decide."
|
|
So here it is. Next restaurant your eating in?
|
|
Make a note of the sound.
|
|
Kenny G or live music?
|
|
Then get back to us at ati@etext.org
|
|
Now, if your answer doesn't really fit, feel free
|
|
to jot down a short note and we'll either moosh it
|
|
into the criterion like so many other editors and
|
|
publishers, or we may just be different. Watch the
|
|
next few issues for results.
|
|
a) Kenny G type stuff.
|
|
b) live or invigorating food for your soul.

Switching Sides

|
|
I'm writing the poem that will change the world,
|
|
and it's Lily Wilson at my office door.
|
|
Lily Wilson, the recovering like addict,
|
|
the worst I've ever seen.
|
|
So bad the whole eighth grade
|
|
used to call her Like Lily Like Wilson.
|
|
|
|
Until I declared my class a like-free zone
|
|
and she could not speak for days.
|
|
And when she did, it was to say,
|
|
|
|
Mr. Mali, this is ... so hard.
|
|
Now I have to ... think before I ... say anything.
|
|
|
|
It's for your own good, Lily. Even if you don't, like ...
|
|
It.
|
|
|
|
I'm writing the poem that will change the world
|
|
while Lily writes a research paper about how gays
|
|
should not be allowed to adopt children.
|
|
I'm writing the poem that will change the world,
|
|
and it's Lily Wilson at my office door.
|
|
She's having trouble finding sources,
|
|
or rather ones that back her up:
|
|
|
|
They all argue in favor
|
|
of what I thought I was against.
|
|
|
|
And it took all four years of college,
|
|
three years of grad school,
|
|
and every incidental teaching experience I ever had
|
|
to let out only, So what are you going to do Lily?
|
|
|
|
I can't believe I'm saying this,
|
|
but I think I'd like ... to switch sides.
|
|
|
|
And I want to tell her to do more than just believe it,
|
|
but to enjoy it.
|
|
And that changing your mind is the best way
|
|
to make sure that you still have one.
|
|
Or even that minds are like parachutes:
|
|
that it doesn't matter how you pack them
|
|
so long as they open at the right time.
|
|
O God Lily, I want to say
|
|
You make me feel like a teacher
|
|
and who could ask to feel more than that?
|
|
I want to say all this, but only manage,
|
|
Lily, I am, like so impressed.
|
|
|
|
So I finally taught someone something,
|
|
namely, how to change their mind.
|
|
And I learned in the process that if I ever change the world
|
|
It will be one eighth grader at a time.
