    Why can't somebody airdrop or truck or boat some food and bottled water into New Orleans!



    Labeled Fancy

    I see how it is
    black steeping
    oolongs pensive service
    poured in rusted cups
    this is comraderie
    sulking in its tipped colors
    imperious colors, that are red leaves
    and someday recollections
    of apathy
    in any observable sunset
    to fancy, this la
    cause it can run combatants
    blossomed and barren
    of country elected complacency
    a sunset, had it resembled
    a darkest dry cloud
    swallowing all the blue jazz
    and sunny disposition
    into wholly shaken sadness
    like the eight seas
    like the eight seated
    are eight loaded guns of piping opposition
    with the slip pf the finger
    ham radio operator reads
    clearance
    and fire remisses
    a strain that has drawn it
    down to despotic
    turning to an angry weather
    beating it into my head
    open eyes on sunset
    toward its fallen west
    observable in two seas
    of neoconquistadors
    I want to lisp
    as if I were those words
    off Brando's lips the logistics of
    breaking on the edge
    I put the flowering graveyards
    of revolution to your head...

    Michelle Raine


    Deepest thing I've seen, shouting aloud about this whole unspeakableness, so far.

    The horror, the horror.

  • now that the truths are finally coming to surface
    I wanna burn Bush to the ground

    Spring 2002 weird things were happening, I told myself it was the prior trips on speed and coincedence.

    Summer 2004 on several occasions I was visited by the Federal Homies, and on the one occasion I was told we were being followed by an unmarked car.

    It was surreal, creepy, and sincerely it scared the shit out of me

    My anxiety level is up again

    It hurt to imagine, because the truth is,reality present is fucked up

    signed,

    poet girl who dared to spit up some truth (from time to time, in different spaces, in this and other names, in a certain dribble) about the way things were going down in this country.

    Paper Waits

    a visual blizzard
    fatalist swim
    the sea, letters and me
    peering in ethereals
    wasteland midnight chrome draped me
    in this storybook black
    bored with everything
    white light petals
    pushing through
    looking back
    flowering snowflake star
    icewater dew
    streaming down grid cathedrals
    and chasms, the deepest immense
    who knew the symbol of winter's fit
    the chase of background noise
    I want a parade of a violin and toys
    to play me the universe
    throwing away the bad things
    and bad dreams
    my body is adrift ...

    my sad captain

    Words by Thom Gunn

    The shadow of a pine-branch quivered
    On a sunlit bank of pale unflowering weed.
    I watched, more solid by the pine,
    The dark exactitude that light delivered,
    And, from obsession, or from greed,
    Labored to make it mine.

    In looking for the words, I found
    Bright tendrils, round which that sharp outline faltered:
    Limber detail, no bloom disclosed.
    I was still separate on the shadow's ground
    But, charged with growth, was being altered,
    Composing uncomposed.

    Paper Waits

    A visual blizzard
    a fatalist swims
    the sea letters,
    appearing at ethereals rim
    wasteland winters fit
    onscreen
    midnight chrome
    drapes scene
    in this storybook black
    we envelope boredom
    and attack
    its blades
    of white light petals
    pushing through
    cycle it back
    flowering snowflake
    your are icewater
    stars strewn
    and streaming sad
    down grid cathedral
    mountains and immense
    the chasms, mad...
