I conquered vast pieces of land.
I ruled green patches and sand.
I am Akbar, I am Aurangzeb, I am Alexander, I am emperor,
I am man.
I discovered places which were unseen and unknown,
sometimes with my friends and sometimes alone,
I am da Gama, I am Polo, I am columbus, I am explorer,
I am man.
I constructed beautiful mosques and castles,
see this Taj, as if it was built by Angels.
I am Ustad Ahmed, I am Master james, I am Sinan, I am architect,
I am man.
I take rational approach to solve life's mystery,
through biology, physics and chemistry.
I am Jabir, I am Newton, I am Einstein, I am scientist,
I am man.
I have turned upside down many nations,
my thoughts and writings can inspire generations.
I am Marx, I am plato, I am socrates, I am philosopher,
I am man.
I crossed boundaries of earth to reach space,
Even on moon you can find my trace.
I am Aldrin, I am Gagarin, I am Armstrong, I am astronaut,
I am man.
I shape words like a sculptor with delicate touch,
my few words can convey so much.
I am Iqbal, I am Kabir, I am Wordsworth, I am poet
I am man.
I Stayed for nine months in her womb,
her love and kindness made a man in me to bloom,
She is sister, she is wife, she is mother, she is woman,
Yes, I am man because of a woman.

I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin straddling an atomic bomb,
I dreamed of grace and annihilation weightless and atmospheric
I dreamed of gravity as the tyranny of man
I dreamed of a view of this world from the sun, ashes in a cosmic crematorium
I dreamed of ice and fire, winter and war
I dreamed of mutually assured destruction, eyes watching the sky
I dreamed of watching from on high, all glory hallelujah and twinkling giants
I dreamed of falling back down, arms spread in unbreakable faith
I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin, alone among the stars, saint of that great abyss, smiling as he met God, and asking him in a calm and reassuring tone, where he's been all this time

my polyangular spring,
please don't breathe
while sleeping,
lay down so that
the sweet cotton milky way
would be along thy shoulders,
you're gagarin
all alone by himself.
do you remember
glaring lights of august?
i must be lost somewhere there
and secretly nobody
knows how to find me
i'm all curled up, blurry
and you're my slow motion
dancing wild
in the spectrum of life.
every time you loose light
i wish to be a sound
of breaking ice in the lena river,
thus myriad light years
would seem to be nothing
for a northern snowfall.
you grew up like a flower,
sleep pattern on my face.

you would never say about a Kandinsky: where's
the Mondrian?
luckily we have enough information
about Goldberg's sardines,
without asking another poet (other than O'Hara)
to sniff out Billingsgate - and so too:
if Burroughs said: all writing limps behind painting
by 50 years - enough said,
hence came speedy Gonzales
with his shotgun and his canned paint...
and i know just as much as sardines in
see-through tins -
well: it was worth a joke,
someone was bound to **** into a champagne
bottle at some point, and celebrate:
in abstract - or to the point:
in concreto - ecce artifex!
at least enough
humility would be worth the same dosage -
specialisations are such:
demanding concepts as aboriginal
in anthropology -
likewise anthropological:
schizophrenics in urbanity - after all...
a concrete jungle - like any half-wit
and butt-naked in the Amazon...
applause for
comrade Gagarin and Laika -
and if Darwin wrote in
cyrilica - then it too would have been
Mohawk and Brain - salutations and applause -
and if ever in doubt:
call it versailles - to denote all forms of
luxury -
i know: versailles better hides luxury
than the hermitage -
or as King Duck could say
being a burden on the Vavel Mount -
even the Vavellian
dragon died from laughter, even though
he was given a sheep stuffed with sulphur -
and drank the Vistulla dry...
but only when King Quack was laid to rest:
and the volk - the naród said:
Katyń 1 - Smoleńsk 3...
and there was even
a composition by wojciech kilar.
so then... 50 years lagging?
disorientating? muddled, spaghetti loops?
well, as the introduction already mentions,
painters can't write - suddenly everything
has to have geometry!
any geometrical instrument
in an art's class is seen like a Sunni in Iran -
or a Buddhist, at a Bar Mitzvah:
boom-town slap-head -
choppy waters, brightly illuminated
by the polished
cranium sheen.
so why except a Mondrain from a Kandinsky
?!
what a brain-drain!

I'm folding origami birds
from old envelopes
with stamps from the US
as if hoping they'll fly back
there & greet my friend
& blowing bubbles in my tea
Yesterday I heard
Yuri Gagarin's voice
for the first time
& thought it strange
that such a simple
sounding man should've
been allowed into Space
rather than picking a Poet
who could've made
more of it than him
the last three letters I sent
to my friend
didn't get there
so I don't trust the Post
anymore & rely
on e-mails & phone
sometimes we don't write
or speak for months or even a year
& then when we get
back in touch
it's just like
hearing from Space

When I was young
I saw Gagarin
Waving through a moonbeam
That same year
A single electron
Went from my finger
To the doorknob.
She was a radical.
In those days
I was convinced that the
Cocoon was a casket
Would bury it whole
When it came back empty
You thought it went to heaven.
We built homes
For the salamander
Picked them from the mud
Moved them into plastic boxes
And swore to never let it
Live in such poor conditions.
How could they live like that.
When I was young
My eyes saw so much love
It spread in every direction.
We called it the love canal,
Because it was so toxic.
Sometimes if you would listen
You could hear the trees
Whispering wisdom to the pine cones
Singing lullaby’s about
fireside farmers.
We would hide them from the spiders
because we hadn't yet learned
How to commit ******
I used to think
That the raindrops were lonely
Because they were always
Holding themselves in.
You'd collect them in a glass jar
Thin enough for their worries
To creep up the sides,
And convinced me that they had
Found someone to talk to.
Our hands were stained with blackberries
Tasted sweet like the honeysuckles
On the other side of the thorn bushes
Where you found the fattest bumble bee
And told me that honey came from its throw up.
I still eat honey.
In the winter
We built a snowman.
Named him jolly old saint ****
And I sat inside until
All he left me was coal.
At the north pole
There were three elves
Who in the summer
Built sandcastles
In their dreams
But over Christmas
They made salamander
Soup kitchens.
In a cornfield
I found myself.
Three skipping stones
I kept them in my pocket
Until it reached the shoreline.
They're still drowning.
Here's to the kids who
Never got to go
Trick or Treating,
But were **** good
At being someone else.
You and I,
We did our math in pen.
We never made the
Same mistake twice.
We didn't smudge,
We smeared.
And there was never
Any doubt
That you and I,
Were here.

Portal To Infinity
for Yuri Gargarin
respectfully
by
Jude Kyrie
*The explosion erupted like an inferno below him.
Not a naturally religious man he prayed to his maker.
Then the rush as he lifted off from the sweet earth
At the edge of the atmosphere an invisible barrier
Eons old untouched by mankind but not this day.
As he moved into orbit he saw the wonder of Mother Earth below.
The first words uttered by our species in the vacuum of space
"I see Earth! It is so beautiful!"
He witnessed the Earth for a single orbit
Over Africa the ground control shut of his engines
And he re-entered the earth’s atmosphere
With no power to slow down the craft.
He ejected above earth and parachuted to fame
As The first man in space the pioneer of space travel
When the American astronauts landed on the moon
In July 1969 the crew left a commemorative medal bearing his name
Warmth of mutual occupation and respect melted the ice of the cold war
From Russia came this special man
Thank you Yuri Gagarin*
Author Notes
On 27 March 1968, while on a routine training flight from Chkalovsky Air Base, he and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died in a MiG-15UTI crash near the town of Kirzhach. The bodies of Gagarin and Seryogin were cremated and the ashes were buried in the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square.
Gagarin was survived by his wife Valentina, and daughters Elena and
Galina. Elena Gagarina, Yuri's elder daughter, is an art historian who
has worked as a director-general of the Moscow Kremlin Museums since 2001.[25] His younger daughter, Galina, is department chair at Plekhanov Russian Economic University in Moscow

jak sie nie ma co sie lubi, to sie lubi, co sie ma / if you don't have what you'd like, you like, what you have.
my maternal uncle (brother
of my grandmother)
used to collect beer bottles...
now i wish
i didn't start to collect
cigarette packets...
i know, pretty much as
"nerdy" as collecting postage
stamps (you should see
my grandfather's collection...
pretty impressive...
i think he owns a yuri
gagarin special edition) -
anyway...
it came as a shock when
i was buying tobacco
at the supermarket once
upon a time (2 months ago) -
the packaging, the packaging!
it's so ugly!
you sure i'm in a supermarket
and not in a russian gulag?
marmite lungs,
coughing blood,
black and white all over
areas, all over...
they really know how
to put people out their jobs
when trying to
redesign packaging,
don't they?
luckily though... luckily!
i'm in possession of the last
of the last...
an empty packet of
benson & hedges (gold)...
that's a keeper...
i'm not giving this one
up...
i'll use whenever i have ten
remaining in
that ugly packaging,
and take it into town,
and turn into a peacock...
look'e 'ere... see,
original packaging,
dating from the year 2016...
but like with anything
you drink... esp. the whiskeys...
it's nice to read an anecdote
printed on the bottle...
the benson & hedges packet?
nothing like it is now...
in the old days
you know:
(a) sourced from premium
golden virginia tobaccos
(b) consistently rich & smooth
taste
(c) as approved by *apache chief
naked-butt-pointing-at-the-moon*
& his distant half-cousin
the *sioux chief hairdressing-wind*;
but there's also
(d) the british american
tobacco group
and there's also and address
so you can send them fan mail
(e) old bond street, london.
smoking used to be fun,
well, it still is... if you managed to keep
one of these of packets
of cigarettes...
now i wish i still had a packet
of yella' camels...
or the red marlboros,
oh well.

when Margot met Circe: bah bah black sheep,
St. Bartholomew's chicken ****
for the puff of leg-room...
duffos... 1996 made so much sense;
hence the days before teen-mom
m.t.v., hence the days before
teen-mom m.t.v.,
is that revising the opposite
of the caveman within journalists
who'd have no imagination to
carve out a hammer?
but who still celebrate
that origination of all future history?
there's never too little history to revive,
there's only too much of the wrong
history to bookmark,
and subsequently revive...
whatever happened to culture of
things seen on t.v. when marijuana
was illegal?
ted the magic talking bear?
or is that ted'x talks? they legalised that ****
because because there were apparent
geniuses in s low mo t'yo née -
or: scooby dooby do... where are you...
magic monkey juice...
let's make america nostalgic ultra!
as the german poets and philosophers
tried to revive classical greek and came back
with a ******** clock for what really did become
good luck...
because they made marijuana legal
for non-high purposes as in extracting
something akin to Great Ormond kids ingesting
the green morphine monster...
but where's the fun in that when it's all legal
and couch-potato bound and never daring
for the jazz communes and spontaneously
propped poetics?
but i also grew up with
*Wilk i Zając - Odcinek 13 - Olimpiada 1980
w Moskwie* /
wolf & rabbit, episode 13, olympics 1980 in
Moscow... very ******* sputnik in terms of
tunes comrade Gagarin...
i once knew the meaning of the word: harasho...
i think it means: i understand.
я ci pokarzała! (i will show you!)
nu pagarzni! (no you won't!)
o' Ronald re re re, ***** i wielki flop!
