Two-sided Moon
Deaths Of 2013 My third year doing this. Paul Walker, Texas ranger, driving fast leads to danger. Matt Osbourne was Doink The Clown, Paul Bearer always wore a frown. Dennis Farina and James Gandolfini, always played a mobster meany. Peter O'Toole, famous actor, Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. President Nelson Mandela, Dennis Burkley, was a famous fat actor fella. Lou Reed, is now on the wild side, took all the colored girls for a ride. Conrad Bain and Bonnie Franklin, tv actors who had white skin. Paul Blair and Stan The Man, playing baseball, when they can. Marcia Wallace and Lisa Robin Kelly, both had ***** that bounced like jelly. Tom Clancy wrote famous books, not much on having good looks. Cory Montieth and Patti Page, one died young, other of old age. Jean Stapleton, was Edith Bunker, Archie always put her in the dumper. Pat Summerall and Deacon Jones, played football and broke some bones. Dr. Joyce Brothers and Pauline Phillips, they both gave good and bad tips. Ray Manzarek, from The Doors, Jeff Hanneman knew all Slayers chords. Chrissy Amphlett, liked to touch herself, Caleb Moore's trophies are on his shelf. Mindy McCready and George Jones, both hit those country tones. Chris Kelly from Kris Kross, Ed Koch is a New York loss. David Frost and Roger Ebert, always had words to insert. Anneitte Funicello from Mickey Mouse Club, Eydie Gorme almost got a snub. Jonathan Winters, was very funny, to come from Mork's egg, made him money. If you don't know who these people are, look them up, internet not very far. For the ones that I missed, please don't get to ******

It's a bad day when you can't get Celene Dion out of your head Titanic was good It was not that good I found a dried flower Buried in Leviticus of my sort of grandma's bible She must have liked that part The only quote about Leviticus I've read on the internet is about stoning gay people I hope she didn't like it that much I saw a bagel get made No one has the job of eating the middles out I'm 23, this was a let down I still like bagels a lot I tacked the dry flower on my wall Above the reminder that it's $3 a day to swim at the public pool in the mornings I hope it's not a homophobic flower I hid the bible behind Lauren Conrad's book Lauren Conrad's book embarrasses me less My sort of grandma Is only sort of alive I often feel that way I feel most alive while dreaming of the impossible Realistic dreams lead to disappointment Outlandish dreams leave little 'remember when’s’' No one hates themselves for not becoming an astronaut A lot of people hate themselves for not losing 20lbs Friendships are often measured in favors That is all That was not all Favors are measured in sacrifices Favors are not measured in reward Today is a reflection of not dying yesterday There is a one in seven chance that today is Friday And it is imperative that we get down on Friday Because the anticipation for this weekend is very high If today is Monday all of that is no longer relevant to our conversation I am losing weight As I lose weight more and more fat girls hit on me I do not like this as much as what I was imagining would happen I have learned that being funny **** cool Like I am becoming Does not mean hot girls will hit on me It means they will actually think about it before saying no To supplement my soon to be chiseled physic I am learning a Jack Johnson song on guitar This worked for an acquaintance in 2006 Maybe I should learn Colbie Callait instead The world would be better if schools had better teachers The world would also be better if high school seniors paid attention to the teachers they already have I don't know which one is easier to fix My past seems rosier than my future Except in the case of February 16th 2007 And now February 16th 2012 Corner buildings and modern light fixtures are my favorite aesthetics My favorite building has neither of those features Those features are not that awesome Dead flowers smell like dead things To combat this I spray cologne on my grandma's flower I have never been to a funeral I wonder if they febreeze the dead people Or maybe they use Chanel No. 5 This is something I would like to learn more about

would you mind reading this and giving your thoughts? http://hellopoetry.com/poem/1533551/narcol... it's my boyfriends and i think its really good, Thx :) Matthew Conrad  5 minutes ago i could write many things, the biggest constructive criticism these days concerning any output of poetry is rhyming, rhyming tends to disguise the poet in not digging deeper, in all honesty rhyming poetry is dead, instead there's a desperate need for a narrative, a captured narrative, rhyming doesn't really show you anything other than a strict technique of how poetry used to be written, a very neat Victorian standard of trying to not show your emotions; but to rhyme when talking about something as debilitating as narcolepsy feels like the problem is not really embraced, whereby the rhyming only embraces the routineness of the problem, like a swing... to and fro; if he could just do a carpe diem (seize the moment) rather than stress a whole lifetime's worth of it not changing by engaging in rhyme, for example: ask him to write about a dream, get him involved in remembering dreams rather than the dreary reality, after all... he spends a lot of time in the dream realm. but like i said, poetry these days is really trying to not use too much conscious technique of what was used in the past, not rhyming does not make poetry not-poetry, it just shoves grit into your eyes... creating a sense of spontaneity... plus you feel less constrained to be forcefully hitting an echo. p.s. necro-lepsy... i'm awake all the time, and i feel i'm dead, the poor guy just sleeps a lot, i'm always dying.

The House Of Dust: Introduction
As the warmth of the sunlight lightly kissed my cheeks, I began to sob. Of the realization of today's events intoxicated my mind. I pressed two fingers against the corner of a cross - Inscribed into the wall by a fellow Conrad. Who had also disobeyed, who had broken the rules. Maybe they had committed mutiny Or cowardice, or desertion. Perhaps they were scared, Perhaps they'd had enough, Perhaps they just missed home. We can only ever guess now, Because dawn came and the pole stood tall. Killed by their own. Friendly fire. Who were also suffering and traumatized. But for the act they were about to commit Would not take it to the extremes that I had. Or any of the people that had abused these 4walls before me. Which one of them would do it? What final blow would cause the end to my life? Because for all of us it was never really if we died. Instead the question was when. My name is Herbert Morris I am 17 years old. I fought in the British West Indies Regiment, until The date is 20th September 1917. And today is the day. For I had escaped But they found me.

Private Herbert Morris
Will I die in the battle? I must remain strong in the saddle Soldier’s thoughts having one mind Will I still be alive? The enemy could be a few feet away As a Soldier, I cannot be a coward and go astray I must stay alert and be focused My Code of Honor Concentration on the battle Regardless of Bombs and Ammunition Sunrise and Sundown a Soldier’s responsibility to stand Salute at command Yet a thought of Dead or Alive It’s a Soldier’s commitment to strive Tomorrow is fighting at the present I am a Soldier and I must represent Can’t turn back would be a resent There had been times I would often cry I felt one day I would be dead being a goodbye But I was given the command to guard the front line However, I was assured I was covered by the Lord God instilled I wasn’t alone Even during the time the Commander said to be at ease I felt the comfort of God’s refreshing encouraging breeze Stay the Course God is the guiding light being the force Battles will always have battles But I can’t let anything make me rattle Oh yes, stand and be firm while holding on to the saddle Remain Strong Help your fellow Conrad’s in getting along I am on the battlefield where I belong No matter what the circumstance I have been given the chance The enemy could one day attack on a prance But it is the pride in being a soldier One life but live it to the fullest in war I am a Soldier Bold and True Commitment is my pursue Enemies could be in my face But as a Soldier I have been trained to be Bold and Lean I have been given the salute to proceed I am the Soldier I stand There is a battle in demand Carry on Solder.

DRAMATIZATION OF A SOLDIER’S WOES

Write in stanzas. Think in stanzas. Speak in stanzas. **** your routine. Sleep less. Go to work drunk. Yell at inanimate objects. Yell with inanimate objects. Fly your mother to San Francisco (coach) and watch the house for her, the dogs, the child, the drunk. She is your mother. You do not like your job. Spend your days beneath an apple tree and spend your workdays eating apples in any given weather. Lie on the floor of your bedroom belly-flat and smell the carpet beneath you, all dead flakes of skin and dog fur, sinew strand of hair, black dots—tar or shoe-gum or something other. Think on your place. Reach to the left, your side table with glass of water and lampshade. Feel the hilt, small knife for your pocket, small pocket. Free the blade, feel the grooves, gold and blacked-brushed blade you bought with a flask, a set, two tiny commodities that may serve you well in the wild or a shopping mall, what ever little evils exist away from your bedroom with its television and soft blankets, slow mortal shuffle and modicum. Stop and breathe. Feel the heart in its always-patter. Know it will stop. Not fret, no, only knowing.

Somatic Exercise, after C.A. Conrad
in anything, uncoupled, there is death. carneys, clowns. canaries, in them, that sing. soul: one of many karaoke bars from which the devil was primarily thrown. this work of taking, from the body, its death. work for men whose eyes if shattered would release nothing. men at your window. men watching you watch horror films. the cant of each head polling, in its mask, a sameness. soul's arbiter: toothless. because it is a tooth. the poor, they take the head of an ant from the die of god they take it to mean decay.

for Conrad Aiken's poor
*and you now see what they made me do? i'd never thought it would come to this, that i had to crawl back to the mainland of europe to find a publisher, because the appreciation of publishing poetry in england is null, nil, zero, nothing, a mustard seed's worth of hope; this mediation of saving the amazon rainforest to save up on paper and the first yawn of the digital age, among cat videos and **** there you have it, a massive blotch on the intended utility of this **** thing - i'm not even angry any more, just ****** nervous - or as the old writer said in his appreciation of poverty and feeling guilty concerning what he deemed to be his riches (a record collection and a private library): happy trails kids.* Droga Pani Anno, przepraszam za popszedni email, mianowicie że był on bez poważnej formy i tematyki, taki po prostu skrutem. Lecz przez osiem lat nie-ustannego pisania, pisząc do osoby w pozycji umożliwienia publikacji wkroczyła we mnie trema opisywania rzeczywitości - tzn. kiedy widze śledząc pisanie innych poetow na internecie - i tą marude znaną jako rozczarowanie jeżeli chodzi o szanse publikacji, nie tylko jednego wiersza w magazynie poetickim, a o całej książce własnych wierszy to już ża dużo można powiedziec o aborcji dalszych i utrzymanych ambicji.

Haber visto crecer a Buenos Aires, crecer y declinar. Recordar el patio de tierra y la parra, el zaguán y el aljibe. Haber heredado el inglés, haber interrogado el sajón. Profesar el amor del alemán y la nostalgia del latín. Haber conversado en Palermo con un viejo asesino. Agradecer el ajedrez  y el jazmín, los tigres y el hexámetro. Leer a Macedonio Fernández con la voz que fue suya. Conocer las ilustres incertidumbres que son la metafísica. Haber honrado espadas y razonablemente querer la paz. No ser codicioso de islas. No haber salido de mi biblioteca. Ser Alonso Quijano y no atreverme a ser don Quijote. Haber enseñado lo que no sé a quienes sabrán más que yo. Agradecer los dones de la luna y de Paul Verlaine. Haber urdido algún endecasílabo. Haber vuelto a contar antiguas historias. Haber ordenado en el dialecto de nuestro tiempo las cinco o seis metáforas. Haber eludido sobornos. Ser ciudadano de Ginebra, de Montevideo, de Austin y (como todos los hombres) de Roma. Ser devoto de Conrad. Ser esa cosa que nadie puede definir: argentino. Ser ciego. Ninguna de esas cosas es rara y su conjunto me depara una fama que no acabo de comprender.

La fama
Whats left from the ball game I walk through rows of soggy buns And deluted beer No one finishes: Conrad creates a trash bag pancho Brandon finds an unopened can of beer Stephens still engaged to spider women And the carboard folds like a soft taco When I stuff tarter sauce in my water logged trash bag I under stand trench warfare completly: My toes are drowining Andrew thinks hes a dog Dwain gave up drinking six years ago Allens speaking gibberish (we still love him) I dont know why Were here. Each of us wear the same caps Like a team of washed up minor league players wondering why were still here Even more when we have to work for the rain.

working for the rain
An army base to protect It’s the United States being its elect A soldier with a gun Three dead being among A senseless dispute The whole analysis just doesn’t compute The soldiers are trained with honor Bullets have no names Lives loss being a shame One soldier is the blame Fort Hood being on edge As a soldier it should be a privilege A Soldier too Soldier salute You’re in the army now as a tut Death should not be among your Conrad’s on a base This is just an incomprehensible waste My heart goes out to the families to remember A good night’s sleep, but will the families be able to slumber? Fort Hood must stride to move on The Soldiers need a reality check to get along The army is to whom you serve It’s respect in what every Soldier deserves Fort Hood is where it stood The thinking on the notion of could A promised heart and a continuing mind This is something I want all Soldiers to keep in mine.

MY MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH ON FORT HOOD
Tribute to Conrad Roy III (of the Michelle Carter case) He said he felt small, Like a particle with a pointless future. She texted the time has come, Go inside and **** yourself. In this lonely parking lot. Words never seem so poisonous. Couple sentences a new life cost. Look toward the direction Technology and evil have taken us.

A Tribute
Leonard swam amongst the basalt rock. A music box of echo and tide, ***** pipes of molten Earth petrified in place. He stood within the natural cathedral and cleansed himself of suitcases, old postcards, and sweethearts, whilst the White Stranger looked out for his sweet Iona. Amy bathed her feet in the Sea of Stars. She left her clothes on Conrad's carpet and held plankton in her palms. Freckles of light formed in a hand-held pool. They bent and assembled into order. She was the forgotten daughter of fine wine and bold name tags, until she left them for the salt and the sand. Ryan sat in the sun with his shades on, stabbing ice whilst making a call to the office. He stretched out on his day-drunk fortune, collecting souvenirs and belly fat, double chins and photographs; his wallet purging in the tourist trap of old Van Dieman's land. He thought that he'd escaped her prison, a long time ago.

Lived my whole life near water or mountains and lemme tell ya, there's nothin like wakin up next to something beautiful. I spent all of this weekend drinkin, partyin and just havin an all around great time with people I love. This past month, man oh man, did I seriously have to revisit some things that I thought I needed to stay the hell away from, but whoh how wrong I was. Jimmy Buffett songs and Brand New shows, takin life as it comes and givin up everything for a chance at love. I can write about God and morality and whatnot but if I really dig deep down, what really matters to me are the quiet moments. Those seemingly insignificant memories, such as teaching my very young cousin #3 how to fold toilet paper, so that his *** didn't itch, evidently his dad couldn't teach him that. Am I still a boy? Hell yes I am, and hopefully always will be, never giving up that magic, that wondrous sense of possibility. Is it a bad thing, that in moments of forgetfulness I greet my grandmother as Wendy Lady and she replies, "Hello Boy."? Do I still watch the Goonies with rapture and bliss and yell "Hey you guys!!!" And yet I have walked through fire and death, seen darkness in all his guises, lived and ate and breathed horror as only Conrad can recount. I can cook, and clean, and provide for myself; having lived off and on alone for years so dare you not think me a child, but my god I'll never give up that sense of life, that belief and hope that any and every day may yet be and adventure worth the telling.

The day started as many do I ran up the hill of the grounds I'd lept from bed, in fear and dread that I would be late to the Downs We had so many horses then thirty one as I now recall Only two men, to jog back then rushed to finish before the squall We had eight horses in that night each hurried to finish in time We'd bathed them all, cleaned each ones stall life was hard back then in my prime The rain was roiling from the west black clouds had portended a storm All were ready, stout and steady for us this was just the norm On that night between the races I spoke with an old friend of mine he the toughest, and the roughest of all the horsemen you could find His dad named him Elmer Conrad he was a product of the old school At eighty four, or maybe more this young man thought he was so cool As the oldest racing driver I must admit he held great sway In him I'd found, a lonesome sound as he'd outlived all from his day One night Elmer had caused a wreck his temper puffed a powder keg There on the ground, a cracking sound he lay picking bones from his leg But this night he drove his rig home it was late and the roads were wet He'd had bad luck, and wrecked the truck I'm sure he blew it off, "no sweat" That was the last I saw of him his child thought him too old to drive With no great ease, took Elmers keys and with that his desire to thrive Elmer hung himself in the barn beside the home his father built I wonder now, if it somehow had left his child bereft of guilt Next day I heard my hero died where-bye we'd lost a man so great Scrawled on a note, that he had wrote "I am the Master of my Fate" He treated me as if his own and for that I honor him too By eighty four, he had done more than any man I had ever knew He was the last great gentleman I had known of four and four score There died our best, eternal rest they don't make those men anymore Tate

They Don't Make Those Men Anymore
The day started as many do I ran up the hill of the grounds I'd lept from bed, in fear and dread that I would be late to the Downs We had so many horses then thirty one as I now recall Only two men, to jog back then rushed to finish before the squall We had eight horses in that night each hurried to finish in time We'd bathed them all, cleaned each ones stall life was hard back then in my prime The rain was roiling from the west black clouds had portended a storm All were ready, stout and steady for us this was just the norm On that night between the races I spoke with an old friend of mine he the toughest, and the roughest of all the horsemen you could find His dad named him Elmer Conrad he was a product of the old school At eighty four, or maybe more this young man thought he was so cool As the oldest racing driver I must admit he held great sway In him I'd found, a lonesome sound as he'd outlived all from his day One night Elmer had caused a wreck his temper puffed a powder keg There on the ground, a cracking sound he lay picking bones from his leg But this night he drove his rig home it was late and the roads were wet He'd had bad luck, and wrecked the truck I'm sure he blew it off, "no sweat" That was the last I saw of him his child thought him too old to drive With no great ease, took Elmers keys and with that his desire to thrive Elmer hung himself in the barn beside the home his father built I wonder now, if it somehow had left his child bereft of guilt Next day I heard my hero died where-bye we'd lost a man so great Scrawled on a note, that he had wrote "I am the Master of my Fate" He treated me as if his own and for that I honor him too By eighty four, he had done more than any man I had ever knew He was the last great gentleman I had known of four and four score There died our best, eternal rest they don't make those men anymore Tate

Jesus wore sandals, you wear sandals. The heat from the flames seared from out the window of the black Buick. Emails from job recruiters are trying to make you work for them. Work for the man. Don’t use your brain. Be my slave. You do not exist. You exist for me. Washington D.C. has a neighborhood; and walking deeper and deeper into its trap will lead to the retelling of the Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. My GPS is my angel, pointing me in the right direction. A cliché, yes, but how very true. The Washington Post stand is blocking the entrance to the corner store like a trusted guide. There’s a lock on the box that holds the newspapers. I’m a Vietnamese American man. Man, Whites, black, Hispanics, Asians; they, all give me weird looks. Emotions course through the stem. Sleep awaits, but NaS said, “sleep is the cousin of death.” There is this beauty-skin book sitting on the balustrade of light green row-house, propped against a neat, white fence that holds in the pink magnolias. Rain drops on the book. Pattering along the cover, the raindrops, slipping, now running down the cracked brick, seeping into a cigarette **** This is the neighborhood. The book is hope. Allah, God, Buddha The can from the soda company is in the grass in the D.C. Neighborhood. Who put it there? It is raining, cleaning my body. The rain is pouring and I feel like I’ve found my calling. It is to form the language. And as that epiphany smacks me in the face, my left side of my brain starts hurting. What does this mean? Am I truly waking up from the dream? I understand. You’re listening to me. The raindrops fell on my glasses and I felt my vision was changing. The cloudiness disappeared from the lenses. Cay’s pain-stricken face turned into a smile, full of happiness, full of friendship. He’s a good friend. I’m the bad one. I want to be good. I want to be good. It’s change. For the better, for real. When it was raining, The lightbulb popped up outside. And I finally had the lightbulb speak to me for the first time. I knew I was a bad person and now I needed to change into a good person. The car stops moving forward, I turn the engine off, And go back to the beginning.

https://goo.gl/5zvwbM, sometimes a song pulls me through, while i scope around the perfect internet use & presence, this thing (called the internet) seriously needs a navigator, we're on a ship, the skies are pitch-black, we need to find new constellations to navigate; what is the equivalent of constellations in this enormous pacific ocean? i guess each other; because you obviously don't remember the times of MSN messanger, or hot-mail chat rooms... boy it was anonymous then, now it graduated to an identity - basically all social media outlets, like this are complex versions of hot-mail chat rooms, the only defence in this realm is acute authenticity - conrad is my second name, i like joseph conrad thought my surname to be a bit boring. i found that puberty ended mid-way through my twenties, when i could actually hide my second chin behind rough ***** hair of a beard - i guess when you're a man it's not when you hit twenty and loose the 'teen bit of your age - all the science has proved that a complete ****** hair acquirement happens in your mid-twenties.

as random as you can get
No. I do not want to write my essay I cannot sit for the third night of the ninth day of the bizillionth hour and stare at a blank screen at the cursor blinking my empty brain back at me I do not want to attempt to sound intelligent Suave and Eloquent like the snake of a book I am trying to tame. No. I do not want to write my essay I would much rather sit wrapped in the warmest quilt I can find with the hottest cup of homemade chai and drink up all the poetry I can. Feel the wonderful free musical language roll around in my brain Roll off my tongue in a beautiful cascade of melodious letters. Research Pablo Neruda instead of Joseph Conrad And bathe in ryhmes instead of lectures. No. I do not want to write my essay. Even though 3000 words seem minor Are minor I am having a rather difficult time at this point. My procrasination is getting the better of me and I would rather write about writing my essay then actually write it

Midnight Essay Write
I pictured you so differently in mind I'm disappointed with you turned out to be Who you were all along. I've spent my lifetime searching Four years allotted just to you. While you... You talked over me You ignored me You didn't care about me You made me feel worthless And I was in love with you. But I made excuses for you I wrote your lines Molded you into my Prince Charming. I made you the lead Of my autobiography. But when the curtain closed You were still the same boy Who wasn't in love with me. Then one day I fired you, I cast someone else. But you kept returning In the flashbacks. Stop grinning. Stop grazing my arm. Stop winking. Stop      c             o     n f        u           s   i n       g me. How can I move on If you're still in the script? If you're still in the play? If you're still in my life? You know I can't, And that's your ace, You've done it to plenty of other directors like me. And you've always been a good actor.
