Big Time Poetry Melt Word Jam 02-18-05
The Bigtime Poetry-Melt Word Jam!
go to your wildest imagination
Here is the bass line:
the generations
past present future
continuity
jam out
Somewhere I have an ancestor, his skin is black.
He tramped in Ethiopia, lived on berries and poetry
in grunts and whistles, and straddled the Great Rift.
Then the family moved north to Germany
which didn't exist then, and we lost the pigment
in our skin due to rugged cold weather
and the angle of the sun.
We were on the run like tangled Hugenaughts
from France to Scotland to Ire
and finally to the colonies with nothing
but a blunt ax and the will to live and fire.
Next we will flee to bubbled houses
on Titan or Europa or some lonely asteroid
and camp on our convictions and science
while we invent new gods and kiss the void.

I do not want to discuss generations.
Not that I have anything against ancestory
or history or archived words or yellowed
photographs stuck to album pages which
gather closet dust.
I am here now and
not to make a sweeping generalization,
but I am here to say that no matter the
generations which have past, I am my
own creation.
Thus, I lust for the
moment, unconcerned with how
I originally arrived.
