You name it

The trees wore nothing but
caught plastic bags
slowly shorn by the elements.

Passers-by were garnished with nothing except
their hats and their clean, beige
spring jackets
and blue soulless shoes-- they
had a lot on
as they passed, come to think of it.

They wore masks made of, shawls, scarves and jackets.
They sat on a bench, each with a hand in a pocket.
"What's in your pocket?"
"Everything. What's in yours?"
"Nothing. What's everything?"
"What's in here.''
"What's nothing?''
"Hard to say. I've got some in here, and i don't see any out there (waves his free hand a little), so i suppose nothing is just what sits in my pocket.''
''Anything else in there?"
"Just a coin.''

Re: You name it

Day 2:


Pots and pans clang in the kitchen,
there are too many patrons.
His suit looked nice from a distance,
from a distance he's the Maitre D'.
Face to face
he's just one big wrinkle;
i swear he wore that yesterday--
he's Uncle.
It's a family restaurant.
The clamour sinks into conversations.
I eavesdrop on gravity,
it never says much.

I never did learn to play piano.

The beer comes,
i witness a miracle:
regardless of the number of orders
the speed of service is constant.
It has no use for variables,
it just is.

She used to say that:
Why can't you just be?
Silly me,
i thought i was.

I know what she meant.
She knew what she meant.

''Why can't you be what i want you to be?''

There things go, getting all blurry again.

Re: You name it

Day 3:

He makes a scab out of himself at the end of the bar,
looks my way, his eyes get that needy fire kindled,
as if i have breasts.
He gestures that invisible cylinder in his hand toward his face,
his lip drops.

As if i have tits.
I smile, set the beer case down
and point to the bartender.

He nods.
They all nod.
I smile again.

Bluegrass music,
i have to work at the only joint in town that plays
fucking bluegrass music.
A resumé should be exchanged with a pamphlet:
you have to put up with this,
and this,
and them...

I'll go for Chinese after work.

Re: You name it

Day: 3


This idea's water is about to break.
If i stop the film, i'll never get past the depression,
the way it sinks in and takes hold.

Something was forming, i could feel it growing.
About to give birth, i staggered,
began to question the purpose of this,
my latest epiphany.
Kevin Smith's innane banter and permissable
editing prattle on in the background, in front of me;
all i can think of is the tentative title, that desperate note i scribbled--
more a shutter for the brilliant moment before the wine,
that spark and snuff who dutifully served and recieved payment for its purpose: more a snag for a borrowed sweater on some barbed wire than anything else--
in hopes that it would serve as some keystone.

Why am i the king of tangents?
Why can't i write as fast as i think?
Why can't i think like Randall Cunningham... Graves.
I'd be killing myself faster, at least.

I suppose that's the torment: choosing to claim a thousand truths after seeing, hearing and
living millions of lies.

No wonder they escape me.
Can i blame them?

Re: You name it

Dream 1:


There's a lot of blue and black.
There is a manish thing, he's thin, angular and rigid,
much taller than i am.
I think it has a black cape.
It's face looks like a mask, it's pale.
Not white, pale.
Eyes, just black slits.
No nose to speak of, just a slit.
It doesn't speak, per se.
A mouth?
A bigger slit.
Kabuki?

It is behind me.

I see a stout isosceles triangle a fair bit away.
It's radiating.
Everything else is dark.
The isosceles lines shoot out from where they intersect,
then stop abruptly.
That lightning blue sort of swoons around it, now.

I seem to be leaving something: a body?
I know the tall, manish thing is behind me,
i am as fearful as i have ever been.
I push on.

It cannot speak through the mask-face.
It's seems unable to feel.
I can tell it is after me,
or a part.

Awake.
Scared.
Glad to see my wife
and that i am not yet a father.

Dream 2:


It's like crunching hot ice,
ice that doesn't listen to physics,
ice that should be my teeth.

They loosen.
They splinter.
They'll be back tomorrow night.

This one. This one right here. I liked the first one, but it was too scattered. The second was good, I liked the descriptions and the fact that you stayed on subject (though could feel the pain drip from your fingers when writing it). The third was brillant. I would like to see a story about it. Something longer than a few poetic lines scribbled on a bar napkin.

But this one is a process. I think I see what you are trying to do, and I wish you the absolute best. It was so fucking hard, it ripped my insides apart. You may know what I mean.

Re: You name it

Day 4:


Another flaccid evening.
It feels like something drips from my ears
at times like this.

Everyone's dressed in their finest,
most of us in suits.

She sings for herself, efficient since
no one is listening.

They want songs about themselves.

She makes the lights trickle down with a flick of her wrist;
a jewellery of some sort kisses, sends off more light than it should;
black eyes are leaned in, tresses cup a pale, expressionless face: not white,
pale;
this cups a microphone;
we're in so long as she wants us:

''Friends, what brought you here? Did You come to see a show? I've shown you all that there is to show, turned cartwheels across the floor. This is not some loose f.aggoting extracurricular, shut your eyes and think. I'm not fucking kidding. This is not a joke. What are you thinking with? Your dicks? Your soft eyes? This was music until you showed up. This was mighty art before you-- an opera while i was alone. I had myself a fandango. What have you?






I saw skies that you couldn't imagine as i drove here.
Go ahead and call out for more."

And with that, the crowd took off their ties and departed.
Wrapped in offence,
a turbulence jostled them home.

Day 5:


I can't believe i'm doing this.
This is ridiculous.

"Officer?''

''Yes.''

"Does this station have a drug lab?''

''No, but we have one at our disposal.''

''I want you to, well, i want you test something for me, i have a sneaking suspicion it is just caffeine.''

His jaw drops as i hand him the ziplock pouch.

Re: You name it

Jail:


Can i remember which way every window
in every room i have ever called mine faced?

Strange time to think about this, and
i know it's not the cleverest thing,
nor the best for what's left of mental health to be talking to yourself like this.

An interesting thought, nonetheless.

South,
there were two spruces of some kind,
they sat, that gin tang on the other side of the glass,
on either side of the second story window.
Maybe the trees were there later, when it was
Benny's room.

North,
those old wooden blinds that met in the middle,
(Venetian?)
the way that sneaky bastard's eyes fit as if stuck in a real head,
between that thin space the blinds fashioned,
lit on the night like sick candles;
the way he seemed to be doing his best to say
''attention lady shoppers''
while he pried questions
despite that i'm still on the second floor
just across the hall
and there was no balcony
and i doubt he drew breath
or had in some time.

South,
up in the attic,
under the skylight--
playing all the games in the Universe.
Christmas eve.

Masturbating with help from some catalogue.

There weren't any windows in Bullen's living room,
the only light was put to pipes
and danced over plates,
some spotted with food,
others gummed with food (,circled with pure, uncut quiet waiting for
a chance at the spark).
There was a radiation, occasionally
we'd glow and flicker in the dark,
playing Virginia Wolf with our brains.

"Fucko, keep it down in there."
That rattle on the door like the glass dick used to tap: silencing and frighful.
"What the fuck did I just say, fuck."

Re: You name it

Jevons,

Sometimes I find myself at a loss to express how your writing affects me. Reading this last piece is one such time. The myriad of emotions and thoughts and experiences within myself that it evokes overwhelms my conscious mind, spilling over to the undercurrents of my disassociated memory. I will dream this piece tonight. I am certain of it. Whether for good or bad, I will explore the windows within myself. I may thank you later.

Re: You name it

Are you referring to me or Jevons? I have read everything I could get my hands on from Miller. That reminds me, I should have another go at the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. It's been awhile. Thanks, Biff.

Re: You name it

Jail:


It's like the voices are from actual people,
like they're suffering with me.
My deliberation seeps only so far before
questions, always questions just
begging me to crawl out,
draw closer,
find water and, with them,
drink.
I could have sworn the sentence was solitary.

Was never much for reading,
but that's what they need to know:
that's today's bridge,
it's made of names.
That's how they get back in.
Or on?

Why do the roads get restriped when
they always lead the same place?
Who are they, and what do they want?

They do seem eager,
even nice enough.
But they damn well belong back in my head.

Re: You name it

The Henry Miller question was directed towards Jevons. I asked, not because this writing resembles Mr. Millers, in fact it is suspected that he disliked poetry (Miller that is). However as with most things in life (save gravity that faithful lover, save light that fickle mistress) poetry is purely subjective. Baring this in mind Miller was a poet and a fantastic poet at that. My point being that here Jevons has taken the seemingly mundane and applied it to every reader and accomplished it flawlessly. Further more it’s done with a brutish eloquence which may upon first glance seem like an oxymoron, but in fact it sums up this beautifully. Miller described every day life and made the reader want more. I see that here as well. Good work.

Re: You name it

Jail:


It's more like rehab in here.

We would drive through Kingston and see the Pen
stuck on the horizon,
above the bars and restaurants
(their teeth grinding back and forth, chewing gristle and silence over bad wine)
on our way to Chaffey's Lock;
Grandma said after his funeral that they went all that way,
so far from Dodge
not to expose us, Ben and I,
to that sort of behaviour.
That drinking that came after it was no home for cows to come home to,
years before i was even born;
that behaviour that made my mother against its likeness,
that behaviour that made me.

He always drank, so she was lying again.

So why all this way?
Why make us run for them, we're the children?
Aren't they supposed to lie to us about the world and
sing us songs about alright?

We pass the Pen, i have to ask:
What's that?
''That's where bad people go.''
How bad?
''The worst.''
The ones who hurt kids?
Mother nodded and changed the subject.

Subjects were always being changed
for our benefit.
It hurt,
to be kept from the truth:
why they were here,
why there were no more cows,
who goes to jail--
all the why's.

Our corner of town disintegrated,
the farm house withered and was eventually condemned
(squatters, squatters in my Grandfather's chair),
fashionable and untimely annulments left none of us
together, none of us down the lanes.
Fairview Acres sits a sign in a shed we don't own,
painted and repainted, no doubt,
covered in rat shit where once were chickens
(: eaten by a badger,
us
by a thing altogether different,
a creature,
unquenchable: ourselves).

We fell like crumbs from bone china
into arms of America.
I can still smell the pine floors,
see the water boil away on the stove
in wait of small, soft and fat fingers to portion out fresh-rolled semolina
or tea leaves.
The Fleurs de Lys sit like gold leaves on rich, royal curtains.
Tortured and clothed long oak holds up candles
six inches apart.

Fucked so well by that small, seemingly empty space now
that tears sink into the Hallowe'en-orange, one-piece jumper;
a ghoul fittingly walks past the other side of the bars, keeping watch,
keeping six,
keeping new memories steeped in ancient smells;
creeping up and down the halls,
holding up these walls,
pinning me to the bare ground and shoving the crumbs in my face:
This is what you are now,
this is what you are;
driving me mad.

Sleep will be no salvation.

Re: You name it

A New day:


It's over now,
clouds wash things away.
I'd cry if i weren't me.

Everything is overexposed.
Everything is mine.

I don't care if we drive into a river,
i'm glad to be out in the daylight.


True, i became comfortable with the State
of being who i was.
You trust me

not to lash out,
offend?

Don't you worry about me
i'll get some job you don't want and
stay right out of
your way.

Fuck you.

Fuck me.

It's like Christmas,
the whispers of light screaming across my face,
wrapping it in some foil as
they tell secrets
of years i knew and could try to relive, but
only by
the lashes of
your fingers
on
my throat.

''Those who can do....''

Re: You name it

We wore the soles out of our shoes to get here.
We have sores and are cold.
You say there aren't enough beds, that our time has been a waste and
that this banquet is yours alone;
you lie.

Slivers of leaves catch the sun's persuasive excriment;
that illusion of constancy sneaks in and takes its place.
The ordinate body of trees stack with light as i leer.
In this rented moment my street seems to phosphoresce.
Stuck to the pavement, a little lost for a while,
I could easily be hit by a car as
sweat trickles through a hole in old leather.

Re: You name it

A long day is over.
I waited in the rain for this;
''Don't know.'' if i asked myself
what the lack of clouds look like;
what do they,
the groomed, colourfully tortured
infants carry or hide
in their fucking cells while
wandering toward empty,
passing cabs?
Then throwing fingers at the drivers
when their inevitable,
polite declination takes its place
as i finally get to stare at myself.
The bus window greets me with myself.
The bags under my eyes have bags under their eyes.
I still look good.
Distance and proportion used to matter so much,
now they can be nothing
but
casual indulgences,
a way to see from whence i came.
The appropriate sagging in my stance says what i want it to.
I hate these people.
Just as i sat, thinking
we're alright--
thinking ''when
we get a chance most of us are fine and decent....''--
i get you.
I get what you are.
I have to see what you throw out with the rest of the trash: you.
I see you.
Fuck you.

My dissolve of a reflection fades.
I see the sign fo a tattoo parlour.
I see a world passing by,
a window passing it by.

Re: You name it

Dawn:


The cloud has no shape.
there is a split hair at the edges of the smaller shapelesses,
the architects of my cloud,
on them are clouds without shape or line.

They have hairs on their extremes.

I am in my fingers and toes,

truncating into naught

or a spawn into Ever;
going bald or
splitting into cloud hairs?

A door of sorts,
an arch.
All i've seen and been behind,
nothing ahead;
the darkness concedes to me its distance,
i see the past creeping up, framed in the black.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Resonance on through nothing,

the clockwork is ripped from the screen and i
thrust it through the hole
to myself.
So, are we playing dice?

Re: You name it

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, ''What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?''

She sang songs to put me to sleep.

(....)

Years later, i was just a little
confused about a bus scedule, and in time
ended up a passenger in the night
with a man who would say to me,
''The metaphysical is something that
by defenition is beyond the physical,
and therefore cannot be defined by physical means alone.''

After penning this, i put my pen down for some time--
et mon coeur plonge dans la mer.

Re: You name it

It was just a joke.. I tried to make it as clear as possible that I was being sarcastic about saying you're not coming through clearly. I'm sorry, just did it because we're friends.

a complete and utter failure.
I have to go find an ocean to drown in.
I'll keep him alive, but i'm disappointed in all of you, let me just say that.

I thought ignoring ignorance was going to run with it, but he became the greatest insult of them all.
