COLUMN IN THE FORM OF A POME
|
|
By The Prime Anarchist
|
|
|
|
We clash you and me.
|
|
First I thought because you are so different, you see.
|
|
But then after all the dust cleared
|
|
And the shrapnel was swept up into neat little tins
|
|
And all our respective allies' bodies were policed up by loved ones -
|
|
Dogs and crows and old men with metal detectors and headphones
|
|
Closing the circle in little by little hoping to find a scrap or two,
|
|
And the grandmothers all weep over tea, saying
|
|
|
|
I Told You So: See? Nothing Was Accomplished Again;
|
|
Who's Gonna Feed The Kids.
|
|
|
|
For the 432nd time,
|
|
It was then I realized:
|
|
The reason you and me,
|
|
We used up every bullet we had
|
|
Not because we're so different, you see.
|
|
|
|
Because we're mirror images, aren't we?
|
|
Like Isaac and Ishmael maybe,
|
|
But who needs analogies when we're each other?
|
|
We do kinda look alike, huh?
|
|
Besides all the acting, and talking
|
|
And walking like each other.
|
|
|
|
But enemy, my friend.
|
|
Can I ask you one question?
|
|
What kind of Creator lets us miss each other that many times?
|
|

LETTER OF ASSURANCE TO PARENTS OF A TEMPORARILY MISSING FAMILY MEMBER.
|
|
Please try not to worry. There are no telephones at the
|
|
gathering. It is probably a half day's journey to the nearest
|
|
payphone. Cell phones don't work at the site.
|
|
Hopefully someone will take a message to the gathering and
|
|
post it at INFO. But please realize that just because a message
|
|
even makes it to the message board, doesn't mean anyone will see it.
|
|
Please try not to worry. If he's at the gathering and you haven't
|
|
heard from him that means he's doing ok. If something bad was wrong
|
|
he would have ended up in police/hospital areas and been able to call
|
|
you. In other words, no news is good news.
|
|
The bulk of the people will be leaving the gathering in the next few
|
|
days. You should hear from him soon. Please realize that the gathering
|
|
is a totally decentralized disorganized peaceful and calm event. So it's
|
|
very hard to contact people while they are at the gathering.
|
|
If you happened to know what camp he was planning on staying with, it
|
|
would fascilitate getting a message to him. The gathering is spread out
|
|
over a few square miles so it's hard to find folks unless you know where
|
|
they might be.
|
|
Here's a great big hug to hold you over until you hear from Jeremy.
|
|
Love,
|
|
Karin

OPEN LETTER TO THE HARTFORD COURANT:
|
|
Wow, thank you very much for making my heart
|
|
smile this Thursday morning. I went to my news
|
|
on the internet and learned that you've formally
|
|
apologized for your corporate sponsorship of
|
|
slavery all those years, which you so aptly termed
|
|
the buying and selling of human beings.
|
|
I find your penitential reflection almost as
|
|
profound a moment as when the song "Amazing Grace"
|
|
was penned.
|
|
Now if you would help me any way you can, I
|
|
believe our nation is still living under some form
|
|
of apartheid. Let's at it.

|
"In Germany first they came for the communists and I didn't speak up
|
|
because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't
|
|
speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists
|
|
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came
|
|
for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
|
|
Then they came for me --- and by that time no one was left to speak up."
|
|
-- Pastor Martin Niemoller (victim of Nazis)
|
|
I'd rather not speak up. My livelihood depends on stores like Barnes
|
|
& Noble selling my books. Hell, I'm still waiting for checks from
|
|
Barnes & Nobles in San Antonio, Austin, and Waterbury Conn. I also
|
|
know that things like this have been happening in isolated spots
|
|
around the country. As long as they are isolated incidents, when the
|
|
new puritanism silences you, there will be no one left to speak up.
|
|
If it matters to you, gather a few poets and make your statement,
|
|
pass word & Feel free to let your local media in on this National
|
|
statement.

DESTROY ALL PAPERGEEKS: A Short Story
|
|
With Only One Developed Character
|
|
by Marco
|
|
|
|
Attorneys are ALWAYS asking for funds toward phone calls.
|
|
Many of them claim they pay about seven dollars a minute
|
|
to talk on the phone. They say they pay 3 dollars a gallon
|
|
for gas and they must pay 75 cents per photocopy, more if
|
|
it's color and more for both sides, and Judas forbid it be
|
|
an odd size!
|
|
No wonder after agreeing to give them 33% when you sue someone
|
|
who hurt you s/he goes after 10,000 and your "two-thirds" after paying
|
|
extras turns out to be about 4,000!!!
|
|
I joined a class action against a nasty bill collector where I was
|
|
assured they were going to get me $2,000 besides erasing my old debt.
|
|
"Only contact us if you don't want to join." Of course I got the
|
|
letter after the suit began so I just kept on keeping on. He got me the
|
|
2000 alright - we all won fair and square. After expenses I still stood
|
|
to gain quite a bit he assured me in a form letter with more cc's than
|
|
I've even seen in spam! I was very excited about the check when it came
|
|
in. I'll never forget the day. It came to my mom's house so I had to go
|
|
eat her famous tunafish sandwiches with the perfect little squared off
|
|
cubes of celery in 'em and the Hellmans mayo she swore by. Her mom
|
|
insisted on miracle whip, mom was a hellmans girl. Probably television's
|
|
fault, but I digress.
|
|
You got mail, my mom told me. "I think it's good news. It looks like
|
|
a check." You know those windows with your name on it? OK I'll cut to
|
|
the chase. The suspense is killing you.
|
|
|
|
Nineteen bucks and chumpchange. I think 35 cents or something.
|
|
|
|
I was pissed. Say it ain't so, Joe. Disillusionment is well...
|
|
pretty durned disillusioning.
|
|
My first and last lawsuit I've ever agreed to so far in life.
|
|
Not for lack of opportunities, just that, well, to quote Odetta,
|
|
"and before I'll be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave, go
|
|
home to my maker and be free."

ONE LITTLE APPLESEED
|
|
by Marco Capelli
|
|
|
|
I found a good reason for a capo instead of transposing today.
|
|
You learn a song exactly as it's played but it's a key that
|
|
doesn't suit your voice. My example is "I Was Only Joking" by
|
|
Rod Stewart. Not too low for me to sing, per se. Too low for
|
|
me to sing powerfully. I sing it every day because the lyrics
|
|
mean so much to me. I've never noticed anyone singing along to
|
|
this one.
|
|
Today I was singing it capo'ed up two frets and a teacher
|
|
about my age with three children around age 9 recognzed it. So
|
|
did one of her girls.
|
|
She tried to sing along, but of course now I'm in a key that's
|
|
completely odd for her. Noticing this and wishing to respond, I
|
|
told her I'll sing it again in the key it's supposed to be as long
|
|
as she's willing to lead, because my voice isn't very powerful
|
|
through most of those notes. She was happy to.
|
|
Now, I'll end saying this. Heavily inspired by Pete Seeger, I
|
|
walk the following path:
|
|
] My only purpose for singing is for the off chance
|
|
] every once in a while I can get a whole bunch of
|
|
] people around me to all sing
|
|
] T O G E T H E R
|
|
] Frankly, if I wanted to sing for you to simply sit there
|
|
] and hear me, I would have run for preacher or president.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Grandfather
|
|
advised me:
|
|
Learn a trade
|
|
I learned
|
|
To sit at a desk
|
|
and condense
|
|
No layoff
|
|
from this
|
|
condensery"
|
|
|
|
--Lorine Niedecker
|
|
|
|
"There's something fantastic and moving in the simple
|
|
fact that every November we all stop in an elementary
|
|
school or firehouse and overthrow the government."
|
|
--Aaron Sorkin having maybe a little too much
|
|
faith? Quoted in a recent George magazine.

FINE PRINT
|
|
|
|
This e-zine is the result of the most modern typing
|
|
techniques in the zinemaking industry.
|
|
In HITECH - the 15 degree cutter slant angle is
|
|
utilized, the latest development in the art of
|
|
invective, allegory and wit.
|
|
The non-linear setup greatly reduces distortion
|
|
and gives the utmost reproduction of the original
|
|
thought through its dynamic depth control and
|
|
reliable stylistic wording. To protect your zine,
|
|
print it out immediately and get as far away from
|
|
your computer as you can.
|
|
In LOTECH - the master typings are transferred
|
|
directly through the finest Amp-X (active music
|
|
and poetry non-windows-based) 300 series typing
|
|
machine to a specially designed VDT which drives
|
|
the BBC crazy because of all the state secrets it
|
|
can figure out on its own. Because of the simplicity
|
|
of our new typing techniques, quality satire,
|
|
cynicism and assorted other humour is assured.
|
|
HI or LO TECH, your e-zine will give you the
|
|
truest possible reproduction of original thought.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have you seen the movie "HEAD?"
|
|
Produced by Jack Nicholson; choreographed by Toni
|
|
Basil. Starring the Monkees. Annette Funicelo, Sonny
|
|
Liston and Frank Zappa all have cameos, among many
|
|
others. I just saw a rerun thanks to VH-1. I think
|
|
it got lost on people who were not there "in the now,"
|
|
back then.
|
|
You want my opinion it was either a profoundly major
|
|
movie, or a majorly profound one. Take your pick.

POLICEMAN'S LOG - CARDATE 9919092109
|
|
(PAWN) - Anytown, USA - Police are on the lookout
|
|
for a poetical prankster they say is travelling
|
|
town to town committing close calls with his
|
|
alliteration, rhyme scheme and armed manic attempted
|
|
murders.
|
|
"Nobody dies," said Natalia Derosers," but we all
|
|
get such close calls it's so stressful."
|
|
She said he picks a new city every Saturday, but
|
|
in a very haphazard way he seeks someone to simulate
|
|
a slow motion meditated murder with.
|
|
Take Deroser's husband for instance.
|
|
"He threatened his life with a knife, pressed it
|
|
against his chest, and then made it look as if he'd
|
|
stabbed him in the abdomen," said she.
|
|
She went on to say he left the knife on the ground
|
|
and walked off without a sound, stepping it up to a
|
|
run in his Tevas and Levi 501's.
|
|
Police are still searching and have this to say,
|
|
"If he comes to your city, he should be considered
|
|
armed, shirtless, and extremely witty."

OPINION - Al Gore will be appearing around Wisconsin
|
|
this week with Bill Bradley sharing the stage. Has he
|
|
been doing this already, or is this news?
|
|
[this just in, I found out it IS news. It
|
|
will be their first appearance together.]
|
|
I know a lot of political things start here in WISC
|
|
Land. Well, besides cheese! I'm talking LaFollette,
|
|
McCarthy, schools that actually teach, Abe Lincoln
|
|
stabbing his first Indian, things like that. Are
|
|
there precedents for an "incumbered" travelling with
|
|
one and picking another? Or would this be some kind
|
|
of indication?

Excuse Me
|
|
by Sandy Elia.
|
|
|
|
Please,
|
|
Excuse me for being
|
|
myself,
|
|
I'm really sorry that I'm
|
|
not good enough for you
|
|
I'm sorry if
|
|
my fat offends you
|
|
or if my teeth aren't straight
|
|
enough to please you
|
|
in your perfect aesthetic world.
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry that
|
|
my ugly face disgusts you,
|
|
and my dirty clothes amuse you
|
|
because I had to buy them
|
|
in a second hand store.
|
|
|
|
Please excuse me
|
|
as I hide my shame,
|
|
and cower below you
|
|
in fear
|
|
of not belonging
|
|
in your world. |
