I've always been in place, in situ Maybe (just maybe) ... I'm sui generis? When my lifeline intersected with spacetime on this continuum I found myself moving toward a collision course with duality and non-duality Moving towards a zero-point What are we talking about? Nothing (Rafelski & Muller, 1985) As a geographer, the mimetic expression was dualistic As one plane flowed through another; as fiat lux flowed through Medicine Rock I found wisdom I further explored the duality @ this place (also known as University of Lethbridge) The U of L is an interesting duck It walks like an Albertan university It talks like an Albertan university But one of these things is certainly not like the other The U of L got its chops as a house of learning for the Liberal Arts Follow those roots and you'll see conduits to another spacetime known as UCBerkley U of L memetics share material memories from the birth of the Free Speech Movement (1964) And as Arthur Erickson drafted up his plans for Canada's centennial gift to the Province of Alberta, I'm sure he would have been partaking in the pleasures of this particular spacetime I'm sure at the very least that he was listening to Hendrix wax on about Castles As Erickson designed this modernistic monolith called University Hall There were influences such as Arthur C. Clarke and his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) He was certainly knowledgeable of the Blackfoot stories of the Old Man And of course as an architect he would be versed in gravity and how built structures on a slope tend to creep toward base-level Strange but true, Erickson's first degree was in foreign languages So what I see is Canada's premier architect wrote a poem for us in 1968 In a foreign language And that poem would be expressed over the next forty to fifty years Some of those primary poetic elements were: Berkley, California Hippie Movement Creep (or gravity) Base level Blackfoot creation stories of the Old Man Jimi Hendrix poetry and his savage musical genius "and so castle's made of sand melt into the sea, eventually." So let's reinterpret that line to be more U of L centric (through my glossy apertures) "and so monolith's made by man melt back into god eventually." ........ ....... ...... ..... ..... .... ... .. . zero~point . .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........

DEATH OF A JAZZ MAN ( for Jazzman John Clarke ) It was as I expected there was these angel chicks playing on harps on Cloud 9 other angel dudes playing trumpets and horns but man there was the Big Guy himself playing a mean baritone saxophone like he was Gerry Mulligan or something the lyrics were you know hard to catch "...you are the music while the music lasts..." or something Eliotish like that I strode up to the Big Guy checking his ********* with a grin "Man, that's real solid gone!" "I shall be made thy music..." The Big Guy smiled...blew one long long final note.

DEATH OF A JAZZ MAN ( for Jazzman John Clarke )
A Daredevil came Lighting a Green Lantern Even a Scorpion King Bowed down in respect For a fallen comrade They travelled the Green Mile Walked the final Whole Nine Yards In honour and in silence A Kung Fu Panda Followed with Cats And Dogs Crying tears into the night For a gentle giant So deeply missed

408: For Michael Clarke Duncan
When I was fourteen I had a skiing accident Abroad The one thing I missed about England was Ken Clarke MP Come back early or never come Now I sit alone, drenched in your sister's sweat Today, we found two mixing pools But there'll be no prosecution Don't hit my cat, Daddy

DONT DO DRUGS KIDS
They gave their lives for an Irish nation, Paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Each of them signing the Proclamation Which would guide Ireland in the years to come. Thomas Clarke was the first signatory With Patrick Pearse and Seán Mac Diarmada, Also Joseph Plunkett, James Connolly, Éamon Ceannt, Thomas Mary Mac Donagh. Alas these were seven of many more Who died as we fought for independence. Whose names should be honoured for evermore By us, our children and our descendants. Never should we forget their legacy; We owe them our freedom, our liberty

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” That's Arthur C. Clarke. My wife always believed we are not; She was convinced we are not alone. 11 months ago, My sweet wife said to me, “Wouldn’t a pair of tiny feet Pattering around the house Sound so sugary sweet?” 10 months ago, The doctor told me how My count was pretty low and Asked my wife about a bike accident From when she was 10. My wife cried a little, and then At home, she cried More than I’d ever seen her. “I don’t want to be alone,” she said, But I told her we’re never alone, As long as we have God. She told me, in one of the worlds out there, We are complete. The ‘S’ in universes keeps her hopeful, And content. 8 months ago, I sat in the waiting room With my sweet wife who had Been puking and aching for weeks. The doctor called it a miracle And said our lonely days were gone. My wife said she was glad We weren’t going to be alone, With just her and me. 7 months ago, My wife ate right, and exercised, And sang to her belly, and Did all of the things She was told to do; But it was not enough, because 1 month ago, My wife — my sweet, lovely wife — She tripped on the staircase- That last creaky step I swore I’d fix- And fell, and bled and bled. The doctor said he was sorry, That my wife, she’d be okay, but That there was nothing to be done About the young one. My wife cried much more Than she had cried 4 months before. She said she didn’t want to be alone. “But we are not alone,” I held her and I said, “We have God in our midst,
we are not alone.” A week ago, I put out a sign That declared ‘Garage Sale’ (Unabashedly, as if mocking us) And lay out a motley of miniature clothes and objects- Unused cribs and Tiny, unworn shoes. One day ago, I said all the right things, And loved and supported her, And held her through her tears, but Right now, as I cry More than I’ve ever cried before, And ask why I couldn’t be enough, She is packing up her trunk, Saying she can’t take it, saying “I just want to be alone.”

My English teacher asked us to bring a poem in one that really speaks to us that resonates within I did a lot of research read poems through the night Wordsworth, Keats, nor Shakespeare could help me with my plight I needed just one poem, an expression to confess my deeply burning hatred of this teacher, unimpressed. So I rifled through the classics, through the bigwigs and the toffs but all I found were thee's and thou's and an awful lot of doths then I was sent a masterpiece that describes these thoughts of mine when this teacher says my poetry is just a waste of time, so I'll read it out in class today, then with the Head I'll end up sat but I'll always be so grateful that John Cooper Clarke wrote ****

The assignment.
They tell us, in school, to read all these books by great minds; H.G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, Aldous Huxley; but, at the same time, they tell us, even if subconsciously, to ignore the grim implications coming evermore true with each passing moment of these Prophetic authors.

Prophetic Authors
Santa stood by the fire With a pipe in his teeth With smoke in the air Circling him like a wreath Clement Clarke Moore Said this so long ago But, what kind of pipe I'm sure you don't know Santa, a smoker That's nothing new If you remember the poem Then you'll know it's true The pipe, oh so slender A small bowl at the end A slight whisper of smoke In the air, it would send It arched to the floor To the end of his beard If it ever got close Then his beard would be seared The tobacco he smoked Was a Turkish fine blend With cloves and some nutmeg Just how much, would depend Was he giving out presents Or sitting down by a fire That determined just what He would put in his briar The pipe had a name It was a Churchwarden pipe Made of briar so old A now long extinct type Red Man tobacco Some days he'd switch But, not very often It made his nose itch The pipe is a classic It shows Santa had style Though it had a small bowl It would last him a while He could make rings appear And they would circle his head Or he'd just taste the spice And form a small cloud instead A Churchwarden pipe Can be smoked by so few It's a long way to draw It's a tough thing to do The scent that it leaves Is of burnt spices and pear And if you should smell it You know Santa was there So, this Christmas instead Make it your pre bedtime goal To leave out some OHM Turkish To replenish his bowl

Santa's pipe
Mrs Clarke pushed her battered bassinet between market stalls not listening to the stallholder’s shouts and calls Helen walked behind her mother as told holding your hand So I know where you are Mrs Clarke had said you sensed Helen’s small hand in yours her seven year old skin touching your seven year old flesh her thin fingers encircling yours We’ll see if they’ve got a school skirt for you here her mother said turning back her head Helen nodded and you noticed Helen’s enlarged eyes behind her thick lens spectacles searching her mother’s large behind waddling on stopping now and then beside stalls picking up clothes searching for a skirt or dress grey and the right size Helen whispered to you putting her head close to yours Rice pudding for tea when we get home with red jam and sugar too if you want and she smiled and you said shyly That’s good because I’m starving she looked at your hand in hers and said Then we can play mums and dads and my dolls can be our family her mother stopped and picked up a skirt and held it up to the light then held it against her daughter’s waist judging for size and you watched her mother’s hands red with washing and cleaning thinking and gauging the size and cost as you studying Helen’s hand in yours like a soul lost.

I attended the Poetry Live event at Leeds Town Hall on Wednesday 5th February (this week) and it was a spectacular event. I witnessed readings from Carol Ann Duffy, Gillian Clarke, Simon Armitage, Jackie Kay, Imtiaz Dharker and John Agard. Each of these poets are a true inspiration for me and their work is absolutely amazing. My favourite reading was from John Agard, who is an incredible individual and great entertainer!

I’m just a girl from LA. I was swapped like a small puppy between owners, some that treated me like a pet, some like just another possession.. No one thinks of beauty as a curse but it has haunted me all my life. Beauty seems to be associated with the ****** and men and women alike feel entitled to use you for their own satisfaction. That was a lesson I learned early. I also learned the advantages of agreeing. I got married at 16 only to escape, I was used and abused. We divorced fortunately. While working at the factory somebody took my picture  and said I could make a living as a model. I let them take many photos over the years, many I was ashamed of.

Marilyn Monroe...
I’m just a girl from LA. I was swapped like a small puppy between owners, some that treated me like a pet, some like just another possession.. No one thinks of beauty as a curse but it has haunted me all my life. Beauty seems to be associated with the ****** and men and women alike feel entitled to use you for their own satisfaction. That was a lesson I learned early. I also learned the advantages of agreeing. I got married at 16 only to escape, I was used and abused. We divorced fortunately. While working at the factory somebody took my picture  and said I could make a living as a model. I let them take many photos over the years, many I was ashamed of. Again I was used for other people’s gains., The only person who ever accept me as me was Joe D. I actually loved him and he loved and respected me. I made many movies, the “Misfits being my latest with Clarke, my hero. People were drawn to me, Presidents, senator’s, attorneys general.... not for me but for their personal use and gratification. They introduced me to drugs That make the day to day pain go away. I get no pleasure from what they demand of me, but the drugs make it bearable.

her voice danced on the Summer breeze carried over the garden and graced the stillness of the catfish pond "Suppers' ready" one more fish, I thought just one more but I could almost smell the beef stew and the apple pie Mama had coolin' fish can wait sometimes the best part of fishin' is gettin' hungry and no one in Clarke County cooked a finer meal than Mom I closed my eyes as I walked toward the house reminding myself to save room for pie and vanilla ice cream Dad's gonna be proud of the 4 sizeable cats I caught a strong breeze and the sound of window blinds slappin' brought me home again a storm was comin' why is it that the best dreams are always interrupted? sliding the window shut, I can still smell that apple pie

We can change history miss Clarke, it is easy, just re-write the lies your historians wrote about the early settlers in New Zealand, which if you had any respect for, it would be called Aotearoa, the official Maori name. Tell the world about your nations attempt to eradicate native Maori and what is written at the base of the Obelisk on One Tree Hill by Sir John Logan Campbell. *Laura Clarke is the British high commissioner to New Zealand <> Campbell, like many European New Zealanders of his generation, had expected that Māori would gradually die out and that an impressive memorial would be a most fitting symbol to perpetuate their memory.[19] By the 1930s this had obviously not happened, and some considered the term "memorial" was inappropriate with many Māori objecting to its use. During construction of the obelisk, a suggestion was made that it should be described as a centennial tower to mark the centennial year of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and not a memorial.[19] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/02/heres-why-the-uk-wants-to-strengthen-its-relationship-with-new-zealand-maori Dom Felice Vaggioli The Italian priest who's book on New Zealand was banned by Queen Victoria.

*Laura Clarke
it was just me and you in my stars of blue broken sorrows bought semblance of colors of golden form stars glowing lights blaring of things to come.... Caught the reflection of many to come putty in the lights of golden blue stars in the sea of gardens of blooms... Bittersweet golden blue flows around the sweet hearts of those that find the moment of sweet surrender in the golden blooms..... Just thinking of you again colors reflect the many reasons time of dance and song golden times that are pressed for glorious union..... Now blinded by golden stars thinking of the beauty of times that follows the diminishes of thoughts the brilliance that once was born to a woman as I.... Golden lights of many stars i give to you my many thoughts that forms the love i once knew when I knew of him one last time of long ago In the golden fairy tale of fairy gold blue dust I see something special will come this way one last time In golden star lights of time..... Just thinking of you.... Debbie Brooks.. Deep within the starlight glade, A child of light sits on emerald green. Under a great tree her majesty sits In shade, Her name Is beauty a glory to be seen. Eyes are closed In peaceful bliss, Loves' dreams within her mind do wander. What loving thoughts her mind does kiss, Not one thought shall her mind squander. There sits beauty wonder divine, Awaiting the stars to come out at night. In starlight glade lost In time, Where beauty shall meet beauty what a sight. Then In glory the stars came out to play, Beaty does open her pools of Love. Stars painted on dark velvet so far away, Forever belonging In Heaven above. You stand and start to walk the emerald green, Stardust does fall onto glories hair. Starlight falls upon your glory supreme, You are the child of light an Angel fair. Let me drown In pools of soft brown, Smile become my living sun. You open up a heart In whose Love I would drown, It opens In Love for everyone. Now In starlight glade you are no more alone, In darkened glory before you I stand. Tonight your heart shall be my home, Come my blushing Rose do take my hand. Now I hold Heavens' glory close to me, I lose myself within your pools of Love. The beauty and wonder of Love I see, It Is time for our hearts to rise above. Your lips In glory they now meet mine, In starlight glade our Love shall shine. We do drink from Loves' cup divine, You are Loves' eternal valentine. Dream your dreams as you always do, May your every dream come true. Lady of the light may you always view, This world of ours as you wish to do. Beauty always walk this world with pride, Your beauty through the years It grows. Never set your Love to hide, My beloved you are the beauteous blushing Rose. Michael Clarke
