This is my poem for the incredibly bor((ed)(ing)) which is to say that a rant is alright but it needs be in verse!

This is my poem for the incredibly bor((ed)(ing))
Ohhh.. i LOVE that line
it remembered me about that time...
and off we go.
Thank you thankyou thankyouthankyouthink? Nah. But
I can write like I might.
Small i's first.
drop the punct
say nothing
let your poems do the talking
like they dialed up themselves
TAKE NO CREDIT
i am Via del Trutha. Om. Nascent.
(truth like poetry cannot be defined... just ask a liar or a poet)
HERE i wrote this for you so it must be useless
Ohhhh... thankyou... it touched me in my deepspot
every poet must seek agreement with everyone except me
must deny agreement with fact
MUSTMUSTMUST must
NOT.
you sit there and dress this stupid game with POETRY?
call it poetry?
TRASH. trashtrashtrash rash
WAKE UP NOW
or now or nowor from now
alarmclockshavenoconscience
snooze snooze z news.

Kevin:

What can I say about this one?  I liked it but I'm not quite sure why.  It IS different.  

There are some stabbing insights tucked into this one that deserve refinement.  For example, "(truth like poetry cannot be defined... just ask a liar or a poet)", is an inspired line but it was almost lost in the rant.  I would love to see this entire poem developed.

Later.

Ha! This was posted next to Trevor's rant last night... but his rant has been moved or worse I guess.

This poem (poem?) is written from the perspective of that funky space between sleep and actual consciousness.

That "truth line" is a keeper... almost a waste here.. and the "Via del trutha. Om. Nascent."

NOTE TO ALL WHO READ THIS POEM (POEM?): It is not about you, your work or anyone who posts here, ever did, ever will. Deal? Deal.

Kevin,

A little glimpse at insanity...
I like it...what can I say?
It reads like wriring instructions for those who have been awake and wild eyed for days...
