"In the grave, whither thou goest." O weary Champion of the Cross, lie still: Sleep thou at length the all-embracing sleep: Long was thy sowing day, rest now and reap: Thy fast was long, feast now thy spirit's fill. Yea, take thy fill of love, because thy will Chose love not in the shallows but the deep: Thy tides were springtides, set against the neap Of calmer souls: thy flood rebuked their rill. Now night has come to thee--please God, of rest: So some time must it come to every man; To first and last, where many last are first. Now fixed and finished thine eternal plan, Thy best has done its best, thy worst its worst: Thy best its best, please God, thy best its best.

***Put on your yamaka, it's time for Hanukkah So much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah, Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights. But when you're the only kid in town without a Christmas tree, Heres a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me: David Lee Roth lights the menorah, So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli, Bowzer from Sha-na-na, and Arthur Fonzerrelli. Paul Newman's half Jewish; Goldie Hawn's half too, Put them together--what a fine lookin’ Jew! [Esus] You dont need Deck the Halls or Jingle Bell Rock Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock--both Jewish! [Esus] Put on your yamaka, its time for Hanukkah, The owner of the Seattle Super Sonic-ah celebrates Hanukkah. O.J. Simpson-- not a Jew! But guess who is...Hall of Famer—Rod Carew--(he converted!) We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby, Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish--not too shabby! Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is, Well, hes not, but guess who is: All three stooges. [Esus] So many Jews are in show biz-- Tom Cruise isn't, [tacit] but I heard his agent is. [Esus] Tell your friend Veronica, its time to celebrate Hanukkah I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah. So drink your gin-a-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah, If you really, really wanna-kah, Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah……. HAPPY HANUKKAH!***

I have a special interest in telling about my colonoscopy. The doc cheerful, secure in his specialty, colon cancer being the second leading cause of cancer death after lung tumors. They can snip the precancerous polyps right out of you during the test. At first the doc gave me the statistics but having paid 25 bucks for this       interview I decided to make him explain the science. He was most comfortable describing the physical architecture of adenomatous v. hyperplastic polyps but what about cell structure I said. He was vague about genes and       hormones, I could have been chatting with an Electrolux salesman. I wasn’t worried although my *** was burning. Everybody dies, everybody, even Whitman and Emerson, so I browse       models for dying— mine are middlebrow, saddlebow—John Wayne in The Shootist, Paul       Newman in Hombre—or hagiography Plath her head stuck in an oven, Hemingway who ate his shotgun. Anyway I was upbeat flirting with the nurse, a muse who has seen it all       before, acting tough, which isn’t actually an act you do your prep and say your prayers. I thought I’d be in and out **** as you probably already know the prep for this procedure is worthy of Gandhi. A day of fasting, clear fluids only, and constant voiding. You arrive at the hospital one spiritual chicken. I reflected it can’t hurt, lose a little weight, remember who you are without so much **** and flesh between you and the natural world. Snipping polyps is like taking electrons to a lower quantum energy level,       nearer the nucleus, with fasting and ****** abstinence. The art of total presence and abstinence, dependence on the Other for       future existence.

You talk about eggshells I hear the crunch as I get closer to you Thought it was glass breaking but it was too soft beneath my shoe I can't stay out of your perimeter forever When the diameter grows bigger and bigger Pushing me farther away I can still see soft silhouette Your skin is so frail Pale white made of the eggshells at your feet You reach down time and again When you're pierced by words Cutting off oxygen Penetrated by the carbon dioxide truth You're not young anymore Age is ageless numerals You're not old How many birds flew away from this pile of youth? Each one once packaged like a gift Leaving behind stacks of birth to sift through You gathered them Scattered them evenly around you Put your appearance and self worth into them and Waited for the crushing blow Marching toward you from all sides Your insecurities will swallow you and The stomping will leave you angry and hollow We are all hippy chickens Making wishbones out of peace signs Hoping for unity Not realizing it's meant to be broken A lopsided libra unbalanced The powers that be Expect you to follow obediently Stand in line You can't take just give 'Short people ain't got no reason to live' Newman must have know How difficult it is to create new men One by one we attempt To tip the scale in our favor But the bigger Man Can push it down with a finger Like a toppling Pisa tower A slow motion fall to the ground A single direction agenda The momentum gained With each inch leaning So stop clowning around Sweep up your eggshells and Go buy a dozen more grade A's and Break them all at once We don't have much time

Creation 96
_New York                                after a trip to Mexico, & not finally explored_.    In 1991, shortly before he died,                                   Motherwell   remembered a "conspiracy of silence"                        regarding Paalen´s innovative role in the genesis of Abstract Expressionism. Upon return from Mexico,                       Motherwell               spent time developing his creative principle               based on automatism:    "what I realized was that Americans      potentially could paint like angels,              but that there      was no effective                        creative principle around,                      so that everybody      who liked modern art        was copying it;                            Gorky was copying Picasso;                          ******* was copying Picasso;                   De Kooni                                   ng was copying Picasso;               I mean,          I say this unqualifiedly,                   I was painting French intimate pictures or whatever:             All we needed was a creative principle,             I mean something that would mobilize this capacity to paint in a creative way,                   & that's what Europe                         had that we                         hadn't had;                                                 we had always followed in their wake                         &       I thought of all the possibilities             |               [                    ], [                 ]    of free association—because I also had    a psychoanalytic background & I understood the implications of—let's just say it might be the best chance                           to really make something entirely new which everybody agreed was the thing to do;" Thus, in the early 1940s,          Robert Motherwell played a significant role in laying the foundations for the new movement of Abstract Expressionism (or the New York School):                  "Matta wanted to start a revolution,  m [a movement w/in                    Surrealism].                   He asked me to find some other                   American artists that would help start   a new movement;                   it was then that Baziotes                                            & I went to see ******* & de Kooning       & Hofmann & Kamrowski &     Busa & several other people;      &                                           if we could come with something;      Peggy Guggenheim, who liked us said that she      would put on a show of this new business;      ... so I went around explaining         _the theory of automatism_      to everybody because _the only way_      that you could have a _move - - - ment_      was that it had some _common_                                                        _principle_. It sort of all began that way." In 1942 Motherwell began to exhibit        his work in New York and in 1944        he had his first one-man show at        Peggy Guggenheim’s _“Art of This Century”_ gallery;                   that same year,                   the MoMA                   was the first museum                   purchase one of his works;   From the mid-1940s,                   Motherwell [                   ], [                 ].

once a collage hung on a wide white wall   with monochrome photos of   all creatures great and small   Dali juxtaposed with Doris Day, LBJ atop JFK, and Joe DiMaggio, grinning Frankenstein and frowning Frank Sinatra, not far below Hemingway, Groucho Marx, Marlon Brando   occupying three of four corners, the bottom right a curious cat, in stretched repose dead center, a cracked crucifix and four Beatles all, Paul the biggest with the cross crowning his frame     a Corvette, and Stalin in his tomb   were also given ample room, on this black and white piece of art   as were ****** Cleaver, with cap, Jimi Hendrix with axe   another three score and a couple more, completed this cacophony of sight, but absent were J. Bieber, Beyonce, any of the Simpsons of Fox fame, revealing the artist of this gray masterpiece   was blissfully blind to cyber sacrilege, Steve Job’s toys, and the lost soul of Lindsey Lohan

Dali, Alfred E. Newman, and Geronimo
On the first night of the Festivus All grievances were aired But after a few cups of *** our feelings were repaired The Festivus pole shone brightly, illumined by a single light. The alcohol flowed freely, this would be no silent night. Cousin Jerry in the corner was caught snogging with Elaine. George’s girl was laughing as he struggled to explain The cause of her disappointment (shrinkage was to blame). Cosmo Kramer danced around the pole, making spirits bright. Newman spilled the bowl of punch,( he never was too bright). Frank and Estelle were doing well and feeling little pain. She pinned him in the feat of strength, not that he complained. When the meal was over and the holiday was done They all made their donations to support the Human fund.

The role of the artist,            of course,      has always been that of image-maker; Different times require different images; Today when aspirations have been reduced to a desperate attempt to escape from evil, & times are out of joint,       our obsessive, subterranean    & _pictographic_ images are the expression of the neurosis which is our reality;   to my mind certain                                    so-called abstraction is not abstraction at all;                                    On the contrary, _it is the realism of our time_ 1. To us art is an adventure       into an unknown world,        which can be explored      only by those willing to                  take the risks; 2. This world of imagination is fancy-free      & violently opposed to common sense; 3.    It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way, not his way; 4.

I just got home after seeing the documentary movie called the Australian dream which is about Adam Goodes who was my favourite player back in the day and I saw that he was a victim of racial bullyism which was discraceful I never knew that, that kind of racism exists in this modern times and I learnt that people weren’t looking at it as being racist but they were being racist and those people need to be taught a lesson in being moral, I never watched the footy show afl much because it was boring but Sam Newman needs to be taught a big lesson in racism because what he did was racist and Adam Goodes was just sticking up for himself because these words really hurt him, I just remember Goodesy for the great player he is, and I continued to support him as he really won the match for Sydney swans and people shouldn’t hate him because he is black because nobody booed tony Lockett and Warwick capper even if they had weird ways as well Lockett used to nudge a bit and capper used to wear short shorts and they supported them and I em not against these players though I just think it is a bit low to yell out racial words to Goodes I think the country that we live in should honour aborigines after all they are the founders of our land long before captain cook came to invade it I thought Australian dream was great and I recommend it for anyone who wants to honour the founders of our land and the greatest player Sydney swans ever had, I think it was cool that he got Australian of the year and in fact I drew a picture of him as Australian of the year and he won two Brownlow medals and he was the best player around I remember him taking his marks and scoring goals what a legend of the game he was I do recommend Australian dream to anyone who wants to stop being racist and to others who really likes goodesy like me, I am not the only one who had him as my favourite player I am totally sure of that Sydney Sydney Sydney oi oi oi On ya goodsey

[this is a poem of past loves lost to time and space but never to be forgotten the hurt remains allways] "LOST TO LOVE" The days they will tumble your heart will crumble desolation will follow insides feel hollow. A love i have lost at a great cost. My mouth becomes dry as i sit and ponder why? My feet are like lead they say it's all in my head. Let them be me and see how it feels. i sit for hours as thoughts unpeel ghosts of the past now assailing me. I feel so insecure as tears roll down my cheek. Sounds feed in and out, as i stare at a wall i thought i heard your voice "i love you"it called", alas it was only an echo from a telephone call. They say time is a healer and all will be well.. believe me this is just a rumour, a lost soft sell. My heart holds a space, empty in size it was once filled with love lost to life.

"The **** has been Caked on the fan For so long It can no longer spin. We're choking on Our own exhaust, Debating over how to win And who to blame Once we've lost. The truth is that They're both the same, Because what gets tossed Comes back again. The karmic boomerang Holds sway over all, Not the tang Of pharmic poison Fed to us by tall White men Who know how to talk, Know how to convince Us we need to swallow chalk Flavored with artificial mint To counteract Our bubbling guts And all the junk therein, The salty snacks And big mac meals And lack of vitamins." His rant was cut short By a burst of nausea. Pete leaned over on his Ancient barstool And vomited his Last six drinks And his last Eight handfuls Of peanuts Onto the floor. The stern face Behind the bar Came around And screamed At us to Get the **** out, Which was fine with me; I hadn't yet Paid for my drinks. The humid air outside Was like a damp pillow Pressed over my mouth After the air conditioned bar. I parted ways with Pete, And sauntered down Newman Ave, Taking periodic swigs From my pint of gin. The .38 my father Brought home from the war In Europe was tucked Into my pants at my waist, The box of bullets In my coat pocket Knocked against my chest With each step. The sense of being followed Was heavy in my head As I turned onto The bike path. Maybe my son Coming for a visit, To stand in the trees Where he thinks I can't See him, silently Watching my ritual. "Maybe he'll come Speak to me," I thought, "Try to understand Why I do The things I do, To see how Hard life can be." I loaded my pistol And began unloading Into the trees.

--A Lack Of Actions, Way Past Mercy--
"The **** has been Caked on the fan For so long It can no longer spin. We're choking on Our own exhaust, Debating over how to win And who to blame Once we've lost. The truth is that They're both the same, Because what gets tossed Comes back again. The karmic boomerang Holds sway over all, Not the tang Of pharmic poison Fed to us by tall White men Who know how to talk, Know how to convince Us we need to swallow chalk Flavored with artificial mint To counteract Our bubbling guts And all the junk therein, The salty snacks And big mac meals And lack of vitamins." His rant was cut short By a burst of nausea. Pete leaned over on his Ancient barstool And vomited his Last six drinks And his last Eight handfuls Of peanuts Onto the floor. The stern face Behind the bar Came around And screamed At us to Get the **** out, Which was fine with me; I hadn't yet Paid for my drinks. The humid air outside Was like a damp pillow Pressed over my mouth After the air conditioned bar. I parted ways with Pete, And sauntered down Newman Ave, Taking periodic swigs From my pint of gin. The .38 my father Brought home from the war In Europe was tucked Into my pants at my waist, The box of bullets In my coat pocket Knocked against my chest With each step.

i filled myself up used holes in my skin, scratches from rumbles to create dams that only held emotion i ate away at the spare parts let my hair fall to the ground and rise like a phoenix, a different man/boy/beast than before i was gone with the wind, right before you came and tried to free me from myself i am so real, you should be scared i am so alive, you should be scared i am so close to being dead, you should look me in the eye soc girls, look at them and envy every madras sweater or tuff corvette i want the money, the heater unloaded, the switch pressed against my enemy and this time, with a chance of winning i am possessed and his spirit is nothing for me to interfere with you think of me, all i think about is paul newman and a ride home when i die, i want to be buried with books, a pen and a piece of paper because i want to write every robert frost line, and have it carved into my own flesh i am beautiful, no matter how long the hair or how short they say i am a hood, a greaser but all i hear is stay gold

i am an outsider
I The morning traffic settles down When the smell of chips create a haze By the arts block. Squawking fills the passageways And now a familiar face taps Your weary back While you are drowned by stomping feet And despite the try your mind clots; The name deletes And you’re left thinking it is Scott, While all this time his name is Pete. He didn’t hear it through the stamps And we sit lakeside by the lamps. II Morning: you arise from consciousness And faint stale smells of beer From the night on Dublin streets, A night you won’t repeat, unless The moon reclaims the lands. And of course the Paddy’s day parades, That, one naturally assumes. Just thinks of all the hands Raising pints by the spades In a thousand bright green rooms. III You stretched your arms above your head And yawned at a class you’ve never hated You dozed, and watched the screen revealing The thousand boring images Of which World War II was constituted; Their burning qualities weren’t appealing - They stung until the world went black But the light crept up between your shutters And you heard the backgrounds snobbish tutters, Despite meeting them on Grafton Street Where you exchanged drunken demands. You awoke and cringed as you were aware Of the tuft sticking up about your hair, But instead of a fix-trip, to save your feet, You covered it with your hands. IV You stared up at the flawless skies That fade behind the Newman block, Or often watched insistent feet At four and five and six o'clock, Or watched the fountain-spewing pipes, And watched the swans watch life’s disguise While you recalled wild fantasies, Of walking down a college street And opening your eyes to receive the world. And now my eyes have been unfurled And I feel like a god, a king For I have seen an infinitely mental, Infinitely wonderful thing. Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh; And treat the worlds like you treat the women And hopefully both will give you lots!

i found a bunch of extemporaneous prose, screenplays and other assignments that i had turned in for various writing classes that i had taken when i was going to WSU and KS Newman (then College, now University) and i am happy to report that my pieces all got A's, save for the one B-, but after reading the teacher's comments at the end of the page about my refusal to get with the times by my continuing to turn in hand written homework rather than submit typed papers using the library's word processor, i feel speaks volumes about the teacher's prejudices and nothing about the quality of my sentence

The A.I. summoned the robot Newman, The A.I. asked about his condition, Said Newman: "I want to feel—to be human," The A.I. accepted Newman's submission, The A.I. processed his petition, The A.I. cogently deliberated on the logic of Newman's admission, The A.I. returned its disposition: "The robot Newman is to be terminated, He displays a fatal lack of ambition."

The Robot Newman
Unless we know The color of the snow We are not the men We thought we'd known I've been drinking Right through the night I've been listening To old Newman's frights He is a singer With a problem with ambition He just kept on wishing On the fatality of finishing But how he never does What he wants to do Has everything to do With 2011's truth Maybe were bent Maybe we are right crooked But tonight I feel Like I've just been stood up An American dream Used to have bells and whistles But lately I've been seeing Harmony with burnt thistles People walk with a limp in their step Other's walk with a **** in their gut They are the soldier's that won't be called upon While the rest are left to bicker towards the sun I'm left sitting here Lifting pictures of a love I never knew Someday I hope to find another One that I won't "smother" Wash that dirt off your face You always looked better that way For hazard is just a harsh and quick blizzard Who the **** Do you think you are?, Some kind of Ancient wizard?
