That's ALL me. Hah, I abuse the tag clouds. I'm sorry. Good thing such is seen as "found poetry."
... Found scrawled in a plywood latrine in some desert post: (forgive the caps, copy 'n paste job from my '06 A-stan journal) "I THINK IT IS IRONIC THAT THE INCOMPETENT ORDER THE DEDICATED TO LEAD THE INNOCENT TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE UNGRATEFUL ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN SERVING ONLY FOOLS DEFENDING EACH OTHER ASKING NO QUESTIONS YET WONDERING WHY DYING FOR A COUNTRY THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN VERY MUCH OF TRAINING FOR YEARS PREPARING FOR WAR LEAVING A LONELY LIFE TO GO OFF TO NOWHERE TO START ANOTHER ONE TO RETURN TO NOTHING ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN" Last edited by Plan9; 05-09-2009 at 07:08 PM.. |

DANCING SHOES by Dan Fogelberg
On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette. Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma tete We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still. Qui peut dire le faux et le reel? Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose. Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes.

Cat chores, church, and state civilization: cancer communicating credit. Decriminalizing de Sagazan dialogue donates emo ethics to the fight club. Guilty Hanna-Barbera holidays hope hot nurses use karate kidney beans as fine art. Pizza Hut politics and porcupine population growth tree-proofs religious fantasy revenge. Sellout sex sleeps all day, and smartphones smug social skills. Suicidal Texas—the faint used condom— remains vulnerable to whiskey-work yuppie zoos. * * * * * "Windows, seven" When asked what you wanted, you told me to make it simpler and easier. I listened. And I built seven windows to make every day easier. Now, they're nearly ready. Seven windows are on their way, and will be available soon. Your current window has a vista; you know it is a great feature, and a way to connect with the world.

A 38c argument bites blood campaigns: Chicago chicks in wet tank tops. Christmas church and state cloud computing, coating constructive leaders with control-coveted dialogue, dogpiles donators' double-bagger earplugs. Easy money and emo ethics of the family fatass flies flowers. Google it, grad-school grandson. Hawk inertia insomnia interstitium. Isaac Asimov, I see dead ppl, ladytron leisure liberty, and the libido life living marathon math money mood music. Nipple peace philosophy politics process pussy sellout sex. Shit-sock puppets stress "suck on it" in the faint thrice tilted economics whiplash work.

Last is black woods glittering moon between lower blue valley when sky is only seen as stars above cliffs above foil.
Gutters like everywhere the then-picturesque whitish sun is no puddles that come overflowing then a splashing then a-picking through Today roofs. The shining ones were not in fountains places but the many were in snapped rivulets again. When tower veiled is not arid when night ends when not sunflowers are mountains gray, are moons from a looked-at village: all is then aluminum even the racing, even the surrounding of not mist when more is dripping, when the old and granite is not the way is not the walls though which the wet rises but is instead a minute gurgling. When church. When into clouds. When in the middle, gurgling. [[procedure: i put 3 paragraphs from max frisch's "man in the holocene" into a text scrambler then fixed the sentences so they kinda flow grammatically]]

"The Last YouTube Comment I Ever Acknowledged" (~ two years ago)
Wonders beyond space and time, exists in our love,
Ascends the greatest of feelings, and the heavens above, I miss you, with all my heart, mind, and soul, Waiting for you to return, and marry me all the more. Take your departure from my soft hands, my path has become so hard, Opposites attract supposedly, without composite regard, I exist only for you, and if you die, I shall die with you, Because the sole thought in my mind is that I miss you, A daydream preview, a quota I want to fulfill, it's my queue. Please, return to me, never let this go, Kisses, colourful like rainbows, hugs, as chilling as snow, I await your arrival, my spirit fades every second, A malevolence of deep adoration, ghost like beckon, Distance that I cannot travel by myself, let alone take one tread; Return to me, so we may become one again, instead. -- OssuaryRevolution

Love Poem
Beyond watching eyes
With sweet and tender kisses Our souls reached out to each other In breathless wonder And when I awoke From a vast and smiling peace I found you bathed in morning light Quitely studying All the messages on my phone

Debates a Theory social.
Saturates as from technology film studies. Presents dystopian disempowerment through contemporary visual critical now Visual analysis. Reassesses beginning studies, the interpreted key to this wide-ranging cultural telescope of the future and pivotal decline condition. The literary everyday book is an art of through and through passivity.

Lost, then found? I wonder where we all went sometimes. Is it ever so happier on the other side than where it started - who's void is still funneling?

so many words, thoughts, lives,
intersecting in bits and bytes humming across the screen in countless scans 0101010. we pour our souls into wounded vessels looking for a reflection that reassures that we are real; not real in the sense that we exist but that we matter. yet all is matter, a terrible and immeasurable weight spanning light years and now no time at all. it is energy and entropy, conspicuous to the point of pain our fading selves, lights drifting off into a distance unknowable because time is linear even though dreams seem timeless. you ask me to read and to care but to do so I must surrender a part of me what little time I have before the light fades beyond recognition is spent now swimming in the thoughts of your imagination, never retrievable, never remembered as true as first encountered, forever changed by my having seen them, only for a moment do I exist to feel your words and comprehend the incomprehensible that is you.
