Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Rest In Peace!

I saw this movie in my teens, but especially this scene, didn't hit me until my 20's. Reckon i'll watch this and dead poets society this weekend.

i haven't traveled enough
to call this home.

i don't know enough
to call this a poem.

oh say can you see!?

i don't know what i'm looking at!

i heard eternity in an alto sax
it said
don't be afraaaaaaaid!
it said
damn!
it said
bop keep bopping ever always!

i heard the universe spill out
of guitar strings
and i almost missed it
without this

wow! this is rich...i really enjoyed this, so many great lines but my favorite was

"in the beginning, no beginning,
a time riddle middle of eternitude"

i dig the word play but also the concept of "no beginning."

thank you for sharing this, mnaz.

keep writing hard!

i'm definitely okay with going back to dust. although the seldom buddhist and reluctant catholic in me thinks there might be more. we'll see!

love this line:

"how do we measure our true volume"

seems to be an eternal search.

keep writing hard!

@ saw: yes, two very different things. i find myself really craving to be alone, especially on the weekends. i give a lot of myself to this world, and sometimes just need to be by myself for sometime. @ judih: i love that line "i tend to rush out to my selves when given a chance"! discipline, indeed...

that one is a goodie, thanks judih!

i am not as familiar with her as perhaps i should be

amiri baraka's radicalness sure did influence her

or did her radicalness influence him?

maybe both?

don't know but either way she's a giant and 80 is a good number

peace!

THERE ARE NO GRAVES IN MY EYES!

happy tears!

9-5 tears!

lonely midnight tears!

the devil tried to hide in my mind but there's too many flash lights in there!

the cat meows sad mopes knowing life is hard

who will bring a dance floor to my funeral!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE DI PRIMA 80 YEARS YOUNG THIS WEEK!

they say they say loneliness is a fate of genius but do they mean being alone? and who is to say, but me, what of me is and is not genius? a bowl of cereal its raining salty tears its raining galons of warm milk its raining belchtoheavengenius scartchassgenius holeinsockgenius dustedbookgenius spide...

LOL (sincerely, of course) at "one good club would do it"

even tho you began with those lines, the conclusion was unexpected. caught me off guard cuz it seemed to change the direction completely. nice one.

"Another Friday at work and I shouldn't be feeling blue"

and especially

"And on this particular Sunday evening I'm again feeling blue
Knowing how swiftly Monday morning will be hard upon me"

Damn man, i feel that!

august rain in
California--a
hummingbird smiles





august rain in
California--houses
now wet ashes

and been there

except men have the convenience of pissing just about anywhere

women don't have that

i'd like to hear more about this Nima

well done!
