Your sorry?
Well my sorry is sorrier than yours :)

I don't know how you to do a GO
I think you just let it GO
But I think
I am not suppose to think
Let your fingers dance
do the keyboard jitterbug
a spiritu et tu
words thtat take me by suprise

free asoosiciation
a red rubber ball
A.P. is spontaneous
or it is dead
I am an ignorant child
but I think I read that
zen is all about spontaniety

I am sorry about the comment about litkicks
I mean litchicks
that is what blew me away
all those beautiful women there
women that I would never have met \
in real life.
Image
for some reason that drawing by an old friend of mine reminds me of litkicks these days.

poor brooklyn all those petty bitching posts
he got tired I guess
I try to me low maintenance hear D
I still wish I had been a better Friend to him
not a suck up sycophant.

Jota such a gentle soul
it seems to me.
miss him.

I am started on a path
I always knew I would take
I just did not know it would be the day I stumbled on litkicks.



I continue on studio eight
I don't knlow how to GO
should I edit typos
or just let it rip

submit

levi brought it,
then pulled the plug.

tryin' to make us tougher.
tryin' to make us bring it on our own,
an' not rely on software trees.
yeah, i got it. going.

jota seems a gentle rebel,
just the kind i'd imagine there,
like jilted poets who ran up on walls,
and that city never used to sleep.

i was very pleased that they decided to actually let my stuff appear on their website after being so rude before. I never could figure out what it was about me that they decided they didn't like.... why they told me to leave. I'm so glad they got over it! It was stupid!

so, i put a few pieces up there....

but now, when I reply to other people's pieces, none of my replies ever show up. It's very strange.

Maybe some of them still don't like me. LOL!

It's certainly NOT "action" ... there is no spontenaeity to it at all. (even for the people they like, it seems to me. Does everybody have to wait and wait and wait and wait... several days sometimes... to see if something they wrote appears on there?)

some people have instant appearance for replies.
But sometimes, they don't.
It's not, nor can it ever be what it was.
Woh, what it was, was so sensational.
i get high just thinking of those quilted threads

hot vibes in print and speed led to incredible wanderings.
i met curt on an early morning jam
and how jamelah was born and bred in the jam
the good old days in that hood could lead a nation.

the life of the party comes and goes
let's bring it here.
& as you know, i've got a 24/7 thing happening at tribes.
for shear population growth, it'll never be the baby boom, but it's still a nice retirement spread with an orange tree, a cactus and a secret stash.

Litkicks is what it is
and it ain't what it ain't
sung to the tune of
John Prine's
Dear Abby, Dear Abby

long live litkicks
long live studio eight

i wrote a poem
in response to this poem
a week ago.
unfortunately
i didn't save it.
i typed it right here
for jota and again
unfortunately,
action didn't happen
because my response
never appeared.
i'm so sorry.

same thing happened with me about 5-6 weeks ago.
wrote a response & it never showed...

much respect to the 'kixx-- it ixx what it ixx,
smart summit meeting of acute literary minds,
brooklyn's cutting edge instincts tru 'n strong...
what is the coming literary art, the now art,
descended from classics-- updated poetic...

yez yez, much respect always...
the place certainly lit a fire under my ass...
'tho my writing has been scattershot, undisciplined mostly,
except for those finer attempts to sketch desert space,
to describe the virtually indescribable... yezz, niche writer,
a mere dust-bound planet to the'kixx constellation.
yez yez, long live the rich, milky constellation...

but pardon my mild protest,
about a little 'ting called 'Action Poetry'.
Why iron fisted? Why leg-irons on distance runners?
What is Action Poetry without action-reaction?
Three-plus years, time to put up or shut up.
Action or not?-- can't fool a constellation.

Errrm... with all due respect,
of course...
