The Director stands
in his room like a farmer --
in his own courtyard.

*Black as coal.
Moth or myth?
It helps with the lights out.
And travels by thought.
Cleopatra enters Rome,
Dropping names,
Reciting pagan poetry,
Knocking on forbidden doors.
Nicole sees shadows
Of her former self
Staring back at her,
Rock paper scissors,
The color of three.
Give and take after take
On the burning soil
Of a blurred crusade.
Typewriters
And other assorted weapons
Form white lies and alibis,
Calibrating the dusted variations
Of a caught-on-camera obscura,
It is a dark waltz,
Some small hope still,
Yet there's a comma after still.*

Filmed entirely on dislocation
(of time & space)
Strictly facetious & fictitious
Angelo Badalamenti
Julee Cruise
and Kyle MacLachlan
as donut filled with hallucinogens
The taller trees take issue
with certain twin
lumberjack dwarfs
Cue the jazz saxophone
&
tavern cadaver waltz
with Audrey
"I guess it means there's trouble
until the robins come"
because Isabella Rossellini
is crazy naked
on the neighbor's lawn
...again
And Laura Palmer
looks better dead
then she ever did alive
or so sings the nightingale
What more can be expected
from a guy who grew up
with pet sidewalks
and talking paper bags?
In memory of
Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times)

Life is your movie,
You can direct it,
Any way you want it.

I will not allow you
to replay your
past relationship
featuring me.
Throw that tape
Direct a new one
Scene 1
Take 1
(snap goes the clapped)
cutting all strings
with the past
SILENCE
....Rolling ....

Please tell everyone your name, grade,
And what instrument you play.
We’re just going to go over some basics.
You can have a break in ten minutes.
Band, ten, HUT!
HUT!
Come to set!
Attention!
I said come to set!
Heels together, toes apart.
Check your posture!
Guide to your left!
No, your other left!
Your steps are too big.
No, now your steps are too small.
You have to stay at set for three minutes;
If anyone moves, we start again.
Restart the time!
Restart again!
Get your feet in time, freshmen!
Section leaders, I need to see you. Now.
Your water break is still ten minutes away.
Drum majors, go get more batteries for the met.
First competition guys, good luck!
I don’t care if it’s late, we need to learn the drill.
Someone go run and turn on the field lights!
You’ll thank me later.
First football game, good luck!
Drumline, did I say you could put your instruments down?
Trumpets, get your horns up! To the press box!
You’ll get it, don’t give up!
Last competition guys, congrats!
Give it your all and don’t look back!
Guard, don’t **** anybody with your flags.
GUARD!
Last football game, congrats!
Somebody please let the bass drums through!
Everybody give me your plumes!
Do NOT set your uniform on the ground!
I expect all of you back next year.
Thank you for giving me your best.
I apologize for when I was at my worst.
I love you guys.

You're a painter with brush
My face isn't worth painting
You're a writer with pen
My story isn't worth writing
You're a poet with soul
My umbra isn't worth rhyming
You're a photographer with camera
My appearance isn't worth capturing
You're a director with 35mm
My action isn't worth watching
You're the artist
I am the creative block

I think, the world is a stage with little word people dancing about waiting to be picked up and nurtured.To be danced with, as one listens to their heart. And to be cuddled and given a home on a precious vellum page.
I think, I shall dance all day under sunlight and rain. Expanding my consciousness to ride the wave of life. Come join me won’t you? You like me are the master directors of our own stage.

The Ensemble
is greater than any
Single
part.
Because:
If one Actor ***** up
they're a bad Actor.
However;
If the Ensemble ***** up
they're a bad Company.

I am not your muse
Do you know what that means?
I am not the one
You dream of at night
I am not the one
You seek in your distress
I am not the one
You yearn for in loneliness
I am not your muse
Do you know what that means?
I am not a part of you
