A Solid-State Orange The Milk Bar can't get no hootch somethin' the 'Viralmentalists claim the cows ate gnaws little holes in the brain tissue but they are round holes and not the square ones where properganda fits Daddy's skateboard got no wheels glides on vaseline salvation just an inch above eve...

Snark! The Herald Angels -- Happy Humbug from The Poet's Eye C hristmas is a mystery. Not a satisfying mystery like John Grisham would write but as Yul Brenner's King of Siam might have called it, 'a puzzlement.' All of us see the season and the day in different ways. And the meaning of the holiday...

I'm glad to see your face too, Z I'm clinging to life and going blind but writing quite a bit. The memoir is stumbling along. The Poet's Eye has been doing well. My sponsors pay me a little but right now that's my only claim to professionalism. I guess you could say I'm a professional blind man beca...

thank you, dadio you hit on one of my motives for telling these stories. Yes, life continues behind bars in all of its vain glories.

This is really a hard type of poetry to write I mean specific cause oriented polemic it's hard because it starts to sound like cant I think this is a strong subject just as you are a strong poet, steve. But this one misses me a little bit. Suggestion: personaliz...

Shouting Silence in a Crowded Theater This theater is so crowded you can't even think Fire it's in the cloud, it's on the wire the paycheck worshippers the stinking liars who put the numbers on the line numbers of the ticking clock lonely for a bomb it looks like tomb should rhyme but I'm not that ...

while I was sitting in Hoffman's Court I saw it on the news report my gag was getting too tight when this arrived to my inbox 2nd warning. If you post again an inflammatory article or any rhetoric with the intention of pissing people off, I will delete your account. 3 strikes, you're out. Thank you....

this piece disturbs me, kurt
