Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

remote culture rises up from
infinite manipulation of covered wagon words
the natives never saw this coming
old Bull Lee the wife killer
standing there the light inside his skull
going round like a beacon
an emaciated son of kansas
deracinating whole landscapes
and with a pair of cheap scissors
laid new shit down so point-blank bare
pharisees everywhere took up arms
to ridicule the cruel fashion
or just ran

Howard Zinn's, History of the World, should be required reading for all high schoolers...it would make young people rethink why there is such disparity with their textbooks....I liked the poem

I read almost everything Burroughs ever wrote
I still have a lot of Bukowski left to read
Burroughs talked about the "ugly spirit"
is why he had to write, I am not sure
why Bukowski had to write, except
that he wrote..." Born into this"
