hmmmmm. I miss gumby. I need to digest this.
Did you get any pictures of Officer Sluggo going after Mr Bill?
i gotta say ume i remember all this occupy stuff.
as u know, i occupy very little space physically
but the endless process
of the universe enters my consciousness always,
so i hope i get a 'pass' from u and your political pals.
~
romney is at the gate. he is a ravening beast.
he will strip you and your type of any kinda civil liberty
or even gracious benevolent concern for a fellow citizen
you got.

he will do it with his pAC HORDES. his sharskin monsters.
the boys who know a good bet when they see it,
unless O can muster the courageous convictions of his
days when he was a pothead. ha.
~
i am in solidarity with you and that oddball Herr r.
i dunno why.
these political things, like democracy and tyranny,
tend to work themselfs out in cycles i got not a whit of an interest in.

i should be interested i guess.

but the politicians are a buncha lesser monkeys i saw thru long ago.
they scream and bray then
say hey i love your momma's apple pie more than
even the pledge of allegiance,
which for them is a close second, next to apple pie.

my mama woulda backed mitt, i guess, just to spite me
as she spited me when she backed those bushes reluctantly.

i would have have fun with her, this election cycle.
cuz i know she has a warm spot for dark handsome exotic men.
like o.


anyway, i shall say a prayer to Zoroaster for ows.
i shall also pray for u and herr.

i shall pray indiscriminately, but with purpose. i promise, man..

palouse.........

this was magnificent!
[aesthetically ~ intellectually]

parachuting down through the scroll,
from image to image,

drawn into your memory narrative
polychromatic,

pinging back outside that archive
w/ other visions & glimpses too:

like broken glass - the bride stripped bare.........
& bent wire - the Calder circus.........

(and someone.... other... Basquiat, Miro... who?)

the best of being an original work
where thoughts inspired are
non-derivative no meta
beta assemblages
of mind and
no never
mind
~et
c.

this was a pleasure, and cool reminder
to beware the infiltrator.....

says a poet i admire "poezia a řamas primejdie pura"
or ~ poetry has remained pure danger........
(Ion Caraion)

and you demonstrate.......

Saludos cordiales siempre a ti maestro ~
dear m. Gentieu;
what you and how you say it
is well... deserves a shout:

EIN SHOOBIDOO

there, say? someone has asked,
foolishly, when are we to see m. Gentieu
again... he's right here, i say!

(altho it is not quite the same)
listen man. you are bogarting the smoke.
you been smoking, i can tell. i am like a psychic bloodhound
when it comes to sniffing out the smokers.
guts and brains torn from her body, hm? by those cowardly one percenters? if i ever met a one percenter sleeping, u know
i would suffocate him with his big down filled pillow
and leave him in compromising position
after posing him nude in his egytian cotton sheets, goddammit.
unfortunately those fuckers never sleep.

a political movement is what is needed, sure, but we gotta coincide
it with a New Sexual Revolution, too. To really draw in the crowds.
Alas, pornography is but a keystroke away, and
most timid egghead revolutionists would rather go that route.
Still, aint nothing like a vibrant woman shouting at the Injustices
of this wretched system.
And you know what? The best love affairs are when
the couple is serving a cause HIGHER than themselves,
not just concentrating on their own passionate relationship.
A cause can gird the loins, and that is was is needed today.
