*Dark Horse - "hmm:"
|
||
*Date: Wednesday June 15 2:59am 1994
|
||
|
||
Midnight blues:
|
||
|
||
2nd chorus
|
||
|
||
a knick,
|
||
a scratch
|
||
in an old wooden speaker
|
||
|
||
has more to say than the evening news.
|
||
|
||
A person, place, thing, or idea
|
||
stamped there for eternity, posterity.
|
||
A movie in solid state.
|
||
15 min of forever:
|
||
cut out of time and
|
||
squeezed into wood.
|
||
|
||
*******************************************************************************
|
||
|
||
Just something in my notebook. The whole midnight blues(2nd Chorus) has to do
|
||
with being in the middle of Jack Kerouac's Mexico City Blues ~242 Choruses~
|
||
and liking it alot, mimicking a bit of the style. Anyway this was written
|
||
after a page-long incoherent essay about potential and kinetic ideas.
|
||
|
||
it's 2:54 am, i have to get up at 10 or earlier to take a practice psat; in
|
||
other words I'll fail it, but that's ok. ain't no thang...

*Dark Horse #48 - "2 Poems from a thunderstorm"
|
||
*Date: Thursday June 16 2:38am 1994
|
||
|
||
Midnight Blues
|
||
3rd Chorus
|
||
|
||
on the rooftop,
|
||
Arms autstreached
|
||
Back arched to catch the
|
||
falling rain
|
||
face to the sky
|
||
waiting for
|
||
the lightning
|
||
to take me
|
||
|
||
|
||
*******************************************************************************
|
||
|
||
India
|
||
|
||
India the cover exclaims
|
||
the country? probably
|
||
but maybe, just maybe
|
||
the girl
|
||
|
||
a chapter for her hair, sparkling dirty blonde
|
||
30 pages for her smile
|
||
20 for her eyes(bright blue)
|
||
40 for her thoughts
|
||
someday her for me
|
||
|
||
India: not quite a love poem,
|
||
but more than a rememberance
|
||
|
||
*******************************************************************************
|
||
|
||
Wrote both of those during the storms today, I feel like i should expand on
|
||
them at some point. Tell me what you think.

*Alexa - "poem"
|
||
*Date: Sunday June 12 8:58pm 1994
|
||
|
||
for all intents and purposes this is a poem
|
||
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
this
|
||
is a poem. whatever that means. am i supposed
|
||
to spit out meaning and put life
|
||
into a free verse box and envelop it with the
|
||
glistening metallic wrapping paper of a silver tongue?
|
||
|
||
i don't know. what's a poem?
|
||
|
||
is this
|
||
a photograph in words? and of what? of a feeling? of
|
||
truth? of hope? of despair? happiness?
|
||
or of everything?
|
||
|
||
i don't know. what's a poem? is this really a poem?
|
||
|
||
this
|
||
is just me. thinking, feeling, hoping, writing.
|
||
that might be a poem. i'm not sure. i always thought
|
||
poems were more than that. in what way?
|
||
|
||
i don't know.
|
||
|
||
what's a poem?
|
||
|
||
is this
|
||
really enough? is this me, on this page? i mean the poem me
|
||
the whichever me is the me that means poetry, whatever
|
||
that might be, and if there really is a poem in me. is there?
|
||
|
||
i don't know.
|
||
|
||
-- but i do know that long after this page has been shoved away
|
||
into some drawer or thrown, by an absentminded or overcritical me
|
||
into the shiny black maw of the wastepaper basket,
|
||
i find myself remembering every single line
|
||
|
||
<20> a <20> l <20> e <20> x <20> a <20>

|
||
What is a poem?
|
||
(A response in free verse)
|
||
|
||
a poem
|
||
is just thoughts
|
||
|
||
a picture of thoughts :
|
||
a picture of your mind
|
||
|
||
This? this is not a poem
|
||
it is a spark that flows from my brain
|
||
to the screen.
|
||
|
||
The picture will fade before it can develop
|
||
a reverse-Polaroid,
|
||
the image makes way for new sparks
|
||
new brains
|
||
new ideas
|
||
|
||
This is a fluid thought in a static world
|
||
unreachable but for a screen
|
||
and nothing without it...
