"becker" poems
will I hear a fly buzz
when I…?
will my hands
be too weak to…?
once
thunderous pink anvils,
house builders
unholy home wreckers
woeful word weavers
plan writers…
now
crossed,
helpless and flaccid
hiding under hospice wool
shame covered by a thin green veil
on my antique grey chest
crossed,
my heart-beating
faintly
my eyes
scanning,
slowly
catching lonely light
missing even the fly
who is now
in another room
another world
buzzing in another’s ear

No one thought that me and death could go together.
If you think that I'm okay, then you should know me better.
This ain't a suicide note; it's a love letter.
Satan is my goal, and I'ma go get her.
Fry me in your pan, girl, it would be my pleasure.
Spend eternity with you in that warm weather.
There's only one in the world who stands above Becker.
And that's you, baby girl. You my homewrecker.

I miss you with everything I have,
with everything I can,
and with everything I am.
With raindrops falling and sunshine.
With every thought out of my mind.
In the blowing wind and the gliding moon.
With every breath I miss or take too soon.
In every second that is tickling
And every muscle that is beating.
With every flickering of my light
And all the stars from all my nights.
When I smile or when I weep;
When I’m awake and when I sleep.
With the dancing of my curtains,
In all the known and the uncertain.
With every wave the ocean brings.
In all my hopes and all my dreams.
When day is born and night is gone.
In all I do and all I've done.
In my old future and my past youth;
In my biggest and my smallest truth.
While a politician lies and a hero is born.
In the fearful doubt of right and wrong.
In my tears and laughter,
In my before and after.
In the emptiness of my shadow.
In the darkness of my hollow.
Within Neruda’s rhyming
And In Becker’s free writing.
In Shakespeare’s imagination
And Chomsky’s punctuation.
In the amount of freckles on my back
And in all the things I will ever lack.
When I’m trapped and when I’m free
While I have the joy of knowing thee.
I miss you
And there’s nothing I can do
Because I miss myself, too,
Whenever I don’t have you.

hi dudes
i was just watching neighbours and i think paul robinson is going soft
because he is being really nice to his latest daughter and her son
and ya know what i think, i think that my dead dads spirit is helping in the
process of reforming paul robinson, i don’t know how long it’ll last
but it’s good to know that people can change, i am actually enjoying neighbours
lately, because paul robinson is actually trying to be closer to family and not
worrying about money, you see my dad gave me an iPad and a apple MAC
i know dad can be a tad cranky, but he does it over love, and i think it’s cool
to see this, i referred to paul robinson as a real big rich **** but i think dads spirit
is trying to make paul robinmson a real family man, i hear horrible voices saying
dads not around anymore, but i can say, i believe in the paranormal, and anyone who
hates the paranormal isn’t the right people for me, i think it’s good paul robinson from neighbours
is connecting with his grandson jimmy and he is trying to connect with amy as well, i am sure
this could change, it’s just that i really am enjoying neighbours
you see dad taught me a lot about being safe on social media and i know paul robinson isn’t like dad
no everyone has different qualities, i said dad was like becker, as well, but that was when we were growing up
i don’t have to say i am artist, because i am artist
i don’t have to say i am a writer, cause i am a writer
i don’t have to say i am a youtube entertainer, cause i am a youtube entertainer
i don’t have to say anything, just do my writing and art and not worry about what the cool kids a doing
because i can’t understand why people want me to do what i used to do
all i can say is dads spirit is flying over paul robinson trying to take the rich ***** out of him
i believe in the paranormal, anyone who doesn’t, ain’t the people for me

work
joan barimaster, is having a hard week where she has 14 catering jobs and an annoying son, you
see robert was saying, i will be famous, i want to be a famous person, but joan was getting tired of this
and had to ring up diswork, which was a workplace that gave people like robert a chance to work in the
community and when joan tried to explain it to robert, robert would say, i want to help you, mummy
i want to help you mummy, but joan wanted to have some peace and getting robert into a job like this
will be perfect, you see joan told the boss, she has every faith in robert to do this work, and the boss said
how about we start robert next Monday, he can join our building site team, it might be up his alley
and after we finish, we will keep him with us, until you are ready to pick him up, and joan said, will he get bored
ya know, if you finish early, so to speak and the boss said, no, we will make sure we are really nice to him
and robert said, no, mum, i wanna help you, i don’t want to work with other people with my abilit, i have the
ability to help you, please mum, can you help me, and joan said, let’s go home, you see i have a busy life
and i need some time to myself, so you must do this thing for me and then robert really yelled at joan saying
what if it’s not the type of job that i want, what if, working with you, makes me feel happy, you know, you
shouldn’t ***** with things that work, and joan said, you only got that off becker, ok, i need you to do this work
so i can organise my business, ok, you can still help, but i need most mornings just to organise myself and robert said
what will i do, ands joan said, just work in the community, which is ****** important, and whilst doing that, i will organise
all my jobs, and robert said, you just want me to find a girlfriend, so you can walk me down the aisle and we can invite the
whole family to welcome my new lady love to the family and joan said yeah, but i also need some time to myself, i am getting old
and i can’t have you under my feet in the morning joan said, and on that monday morning, robert started work, and he worked very hard
but he refused to wear a helmet on site, and there was a bit of friction between him and his boss, but that blew over in 20 minutes
after realising it’s dangerous to work without a helmet and robert was the hardest worker there, but the boss, thought he worked so hard
that, the boss wanted him to work at the new homeless shelter, run by the city’s community centre, and robert was delighted, especially
after he told his mum, saying, he will be working as part of a homeless shelter, how cools that, he understood, and at the end of the day
when joan picked up robert, the boss told joan all about how hard robert worked and also told that he wants robert to take part in a homeless
person project which robert was happy with, and joan said to robert, are you sure you want to do this, and robert said, yeah yeah please mummy yeah
and the next few days robert has been going to bed and getting up for work, going to bed and getting up for work, day in and day out and robert was
getting tired from this work, too tired to go to her mums catering job, but he had to, and slept on the couch in the den, mind you this was the best
thing for robert and at the end of robert’s first week at work, joan and robert had dinner in the club, and robert was tired and took his medication
and went to bed

You see the shaytards are way better than dad because dad didn't want his kids to be cool and shAytRds do want kids to be cool
You see dad only used his positive attitude against me to make me feel stupid and ****** oathe I am like those heavy metallistsa and I said I was a hooligan to tease my father and make him feel guilty about not taking us overseas that would have been fun for us but dad is not as cool as the shaytards father because he lacks cool
Dad lacks proper positive attitude
And I have always been cooler than cool
You see my mate Patrick showed me how to have a good time but he ain't my father but he seemed a better father figure than daD and u respect pat as a friend you see if I slobbed my food dad would say eat nicely abs I an geEung dD say that now, why don't you leave me alone you great big old fogie because I like cool people dad is like John Becker always fucken being angry never being cool positive
Hmu believe his words were I don! T want to be cool
Well I don!'t want to show I believe in discipline and that is why I don't have kids, but I will be a good father
Dad **** of dad out if my life and learn about being cool because cool is the way of the world
See us ya great big old dogie work on Betty

in my room
a sunday afternoon on the island of a burgundyacidparadise dream
the pinch and push of human faces, cartoons shrinking rainbow triangles
a glance to the drawer - melting, melting(is it a bear or an eagle?)
the music echoes in a head room full of autumn sun
clifford brown cutting the light and springing joy
books floating, books falling, books fluttering fractal butterflies
and the painting flows together and becomes one
lanterns shooting dragonfly dots above the piano
hot, hot, the fan exists and fades, roars (did i speak just now?)
chemical reaction inside a chemical reaction
trip along with the music let it guide
and shake it out when it goes dark
drip into the wall ripples (is there a storm? or is it the fan?
which direction is the door? and where is the incense blowing?)
take it fagen, take it becker
time out of mind indeed
handprint, faceprint, dust in a yellow tint
don’t want me to leave that’s fine by me
lie down and let it take me where it wants to go
lyin tyga in my head
push me down upon my bed
cancel out the need for time
and make my visions warm
sublime as a sunflower
a spiral leaf of hummingcomb
water, water, fizz, fizz
take me where the sunset is
(how did i get outside)no noise
getting calmer but just as beautiful
in my room

Hast thou found honey?
Eat so much as is good for thee,
thinking moderation then, success.
Ah, the analyst's probe, is it satisfying?
Child mind alerts, perks up its ear,
single minds have single ears, child mind
focus state, un monitored you, recall, child
minding your own business walking in the road.
Accepting having RSVP'd, we'ld wonder at first,
did we actually ask for this, or is this all made up?
Child mind cocked sure, I know.
We are all an alien probe learning the questions.
Each letter holds an American English phonic response…
and we… the elite sharers of knowns gleaned from scripture.
--selah, also means let it rest
The precedent for a post temple social order arose,
and the minds required for that task arose as well, but
as you know, knowledge was closely held, sacred codes,
cost of being called and chosen, male alone, bred to the bull.
Bred to the king of beasts, wed to the dragon whose bones
we have found in the gullet of beached Leviathans…
tribe of Bill Levy, sudden psy-psi dead guy makes a suggestion,
remember the yen to yank reality aright, and think it funny?
Jes' yankin' y'chaim, only be having like
a child's mind, pedo-meter counting steps away, flee
the birthing trauma, do the dying well.
Earnest Becker, take a chair, I think I felt you linger there,
death divined most fine state, just wait, settling, you feel.

dear sir, hi dudes
i am experiencing problems with youtube, you see every time
i put on a video, it takes a long time to load and when it does
load it keeps stop-starting, it makes me feel weird, like i think
the dead are controlling the computer world, i don;t know whether
it’s an iinet thing or a problem in the area, i know that it isn’t the
computer people teasing me, i am past that stage, you see i want
to be able to watch a parade or heavy metal concert or even a broadway musical
you see i still have enough bandwidth, to play the video
i just want to be able to watch a youtube video, without any problems
it’s probably dads spirit that is doing this, because i am a youtube junie
but there must be a way to improve the buffering
i ain’t into upgrades, because i pay enough
i watch mother and son, no problems becker no problems
christmas parade, depends on parade, but still has buffering problems
abl baseball good, but has occasional buffering problems
heavy metal concerts problems with buffering
i am even having occasionally problem with youtube shows
but not a worry at the moment
you see, i want youtube to improve it’s buffering
i don’t know how many people can help me from their houses
i know iinet can if the problem is theres, but why do we have this buffering problem
beats me

Chip away now
remove what need not be
reveal the vision
the shape
the form
the dream
the vision
my vision
my dream
Find what lay beneath “the mechanized hum of another world” (from Third World Man by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen)
this world
the one that I live in
Chip away and tell the tales
rime the rhymes
Hurrah, a poem, a prose, a tinkered set of words
While bombs go off, and shots **** the innocent
while the replacement hormones surge through my veins
I am finally finding a place in between the titrations.
I am alive again. I am here and now
Chipping away with my Andalus font size 18

i am not worried about how i sound in my youtube videos for AAA YOUTUBE TV and aaron clayton
because people are watching me, it’s like TV stars, some area liked, as ted damson’s becker said
you should feel free to hate or like my stuff, you should just do it with the right reasons
i have over 50 views on a truck parade in gungahlin, and on nye i had voices of women
saying YOU **** be an adult, but i don’t care, because i checked, i was pretty popular
that night, i still hear that voice, but i drown it out, to be good, i don’t care how i look
in my videos, just as long as i am having fun, you see i don’t care on the teasing, because i
can handle the teasing, i just totally ignore it, and i have fun, i gave up my breakfast show
because i am not a morning entertainer, cause the medication gave me no energy
but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying youtube, or hello poetry or art colony
everyone likes me on these sites, i am popular, ok, i am liked all over the internet
i am bringing my characters out, i will bring a few more out, i was marco and topsy the clown
at poetry slam, that is why the young say i am cool, and i will continue to do this
i did room to move today and i brought my patrick dunbar character out, which
is a previous life of mine, anyway, they called me AWESOME, and i am
watch my brumbies night live show, on AAA YOUTUBE TV
i am an internet celebrity, pretty **** cool

#Walter Becker b. Feb 20, 1950 - d. Sept 3, 2017
With stocking face I bought a gun
The plan was set the plan was done...
Looked at my watch and started for the door
Now the food here ain't so good no more
And they closed the package store...
[Chorus]
Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me
Oh Michael Oh Jesus
you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation
for playing a good clean game
Oh Michael Oh Jesus
I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again
My poison's named you know my brand
So please make mine a double, Sam
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here
This highway runs from Paraguay
And I've just come all the way
[Chorus]
We warned the corpse of William Wright
Not to cuss and drink all night
Ticket in hand I saw him laid to rest
But zombie see and zombie do
He's here with me and you

If this were ready to sow, who would know?
All true, is it altruistic to make a mind
to not lie by some alteration in the source
code feeding the mind the energy
required of being, itself?
Alter
ego- stopped Ernest Becker, the importance
of being aware he was there, in my ear,
halted all progress in the direction
beyond my ken and any kenner's ken, hearken,
have we a word we hear,
which means a thing to some who hear it
and nothing to others?
Alteration on altruistic first response,
all thru, truly easy upgrade, just think
alter was the spoken sound used as
English uses other, in Latin
thus in the code of the literati,
altruistic is other selfishness.
Utter spoke, not rote hm
--
wedoms in reality
we are al
ways altruistic, true
not all who claim the name, we, the people,
are the only people, the species formed
from wormish droppin' doin'drottenin'
darkenin' fertile soil, black
land, by god,
I got me a blackland farm, zactly near
as I believed, left be, alternant
real enough, to hope for
as mentioned
you better believe
= hear that from the other, clenched jaw,
canines clearly dis-
playing…
playinwitcha
c'mon, c'mon
Comte, gimme a position, make me a point,
as truth always will out after in, in any
breathing situation.

There was the backfield tandem of Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davies on several West Point football teams of the UOS.
There is that power hitting duo of the modern day Yankees - Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge.
There were those great power hitters of the 70s, I believe, that seemed to come in clusters like Mike Schmidt, Breen Downing, and yes, I believe, John Milner.
There was, of course, Ruth and Gehrig that stood out on the 1927 Yankees.
There's Hawke Leonard and James Harden, an unsung pair of the San Antonia Spurs and the Houston Rockets, respectively, in pro basketball that stand out.
There's Stephan Curry and Kevin Durant, a Mutt and Jeff combination in the Golden State Warriors.
There was a couple of gifted first to play on a University of Illinois basketball team African Americans that were tantalizing good at that time - Mannie Jackson and Governor Vaughn.
There was those 4 great old time Boston Celtics guards; Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman, K.C. Jones, and Sam Jones.
There was Bill Bradley and Dave Debusschere manning the wings of the New York Knickerbockers pro basketball teams of the late sixties, I believe.
There was Ron Kissinger and Glenn Becker, the keystone duo on the Chicago Cubs of the sixties, I believe.
There was Mainstay, reliable pitcher for the Casey Stengal dynasty teams - Vic Raschi and Allie Reynolds and there were great teamsmen of Vince Lombardi's pro football Green Bay Packers Super Bowl team like Dave Hammer, Forrest Gregg, and Boyd Dowler.
