seminar (or, Chekhov and Murakami)
my mother was born a gardener and my father became one through patient snap peas and angry red tomatoes he seeded and watered and waited while my mother grew hibiscus in the mountains and plums in the shade i was born a painter but its tank me years to pick up a paintbrush and my brother was born a poet but i sincerely doubt that he’ll ever show it i mix my paints on my palette of flowers and my brother goes to meetings at banks My other attended the only Agricultural High School available to her within a 40 mile radius of her South Philadelphia home. This was not a coincidence. My father attended the best athletic conference in his affluent suburban community. This was. She started out watering plants in fast food joints, arranging flowers for junior proms in the poorest neighborhoods of the city. When my father met her, she only ate lettuce and seeds because that was all she could manage to put in her body. My father kneeled to the ground, saw the soil beneath her fingernails, and fell in love. I can only love men who garden. I can only be a daughter of the earth because of them. I don’t like terrariums because they frustrate me. Life trapped behind glass, that I cannot touch, or feel, or smell. I cannot water, I cannot fathom to even slightly disturb their existence, no matter how desperately I want to. I’m getting my hands ***** touching old soil. I wipe it on my skirt before I touch the sweat on the back of my neck. I’m planting forget-me-nots and basil. I don’t even know if those go together. But I am putting them deep in the ground and it occurs to me that in a few weeks, I might not even remember them. They might die and become some stupid memory, a part of my dinner party story vernacular, Or maybe waiting for them will change me, will allow me to commit as a meditation on earthen peace.

Progress by Michael R. Burch There is no sense of urgency at the local Burger King. Birds and squirrels squabble outside for the last scraps of autumn: remnants of buns, goopy pulps of dill pickles, mucousy lettuce, sesame seeds. Inside, the workers all move with the same très-glamorous lethargy, conserving their energy, one assumes, for more pressing endeavors: concerts and proms, pep rallies, keg parties, reruns of Jenny McCarthy on MTV. The manager, as usual, is on the phone, talking to her boyfriend. She gently smiles, brushing back wisps of insouciant hair, ready for the cover of Glamour or Vogue. Through her filmy white blouse an indiscreet strap suspends a lace cup through which somehow the ****** still shows. Progress, we guess, ... and wait patiently in line, hoping the Pokémons hold out. NOTE: This poem is almost entirely fiction. There was a Pokemon craze when my son Jeremy was a little boy, and I did see birds and squirrels foraging in parking lots from time to time (and sometimes fed them myself from my car’s window), but everything else is fiction. On the rare occasions that I went to a Burger King, I would go through the drive-in, so I wouldn’t have known who the manager was, or how much time ***** spent on the phone. I think the poem probably started with the image of birds and squirrels squabbling for scraps of food in a parking lot as I waited in a line of slow-moving cars, then evolved as I imagined the hassle of going inside to “speed things up.” Keywords/Tags: America, Americana, American, culture, society, vanity, youth, progress, fast food, video games, Pokemon, MTV, music videos, glamour, models, supermodels, fashion, transparency, see-through, bra, breast, *******

my ghost will haunt the space of that old cafe; nestled into the air above the second booth to the left or tucked into the corner above the fish tank, delicately breathing memories of proms and first dates to renovators and brightly fluttering couples. molecules agitated, eternally lingering in pursuit of love lost to time and particular circumstances dancing in stasis and unable to drift away from that cafe and pink sheets in the sunshine, of longhorns and the feel of a waist

The many stage of a smile. From birth our smiles became picture perfect home movie ,the videos, most memorable the hallmarks moments posters and post card entries. Page and pages for each moment of the day little Jadie could not get away Then her toddler’s years came and vanish into puberty The high school proms and the marching bands Throughout her college years, fears, tears and uncertainity about her careers The do and don’t The older we get our smiles became frozen Into shapes of wrinkles and frowns The fewer things seem worth waiting for What’s in a smile?

The Many Stages Of A Smile
Go ****** your opinions and your political minions up another ass’s ******* or maybe take that noise, and show some glamour and some poise like the bigs wigs on capital hill, filled with the ideals of the real, reality sets in with a pen on paper and a veto or a stapler to add another pile to another pile stacked high with paper and anger and a wager on top of all that to rate his and her, him and them, freedom or not, this is when the world goes black, back to a rack of what was and what wasn’t and isn’t and hasn’t been or whatever may come, from, whatever’s the machine in charge of the largest country on a scale of humility to ego, eating eggos daily, watching bombs drop and proms go on like any other day, a dance filled way too high with alter personalities and ratchet fatalities. This is another normality in this bleak reality of life. Full of wisdom, full of strife, take your knife and force it down someone’s throat, coat it with words, thoughts, sought after beliefs and chiefs of the mind. Find what’s real, what’s good, something borrowed something bought, this freedom we fought for, blood sweat and tears for, die for, cry for, ride it till its outlasted every past and bold and rash incision upon decisions. Fission fusion and confusion driven, is a country with stripes stars and bars, filled with past and present Heros, veterans, bet again they’re there for the third night in a row, about to row away down te river of blood and dirt and dignity, until the tugging of righteous voices slices the void of sorrow, but that’s tomorrow, today is just a work in progress.

Have you ever stopped to wonder Where pocket lint comes from Is it mass produced, does it just run loose Or is it grown on a pocket lint farm And are there tiny little farmers With tiny little hoes Who's time is spent planting pocket seed lint In tiny little rows Is that why so many pockets Are lined in cloth of white For the best in growing conditions Letting in the perfect amount of light But then you have to wonder What the farmers do for rain And if your always wet in the front of your pants What would people have to say And why go through all the trouble Since apparently it has no use Unless we hire tiny little tailors In the making of pocket lint Leisure Suits And if we do I'd like mine in baby blue To wear at all the Bar Mitzvahs, Proms, and Wakes I'm sure that once it catches on It'll be the latest craze There really must be some sort of purpose In pocket lints grand design Don't you ever wonder where it comes from I myself think about it all the time

~Pocket Lint~
Nothing remains there anymore,perhaps few stains on the floor where the body lay,sadly, badly scrubbed and faint signs where death outlines in multicoloured decadence,his eminence,the one who went when wings lent him the final flight. Tomorrow night they'll hold a wake and take a minute to remember him,whose hold on life was getting slim ,and it was time for him to go,but they will show due deference to what was once his eminence,then stuff their maws and fill their paws with good food and fine wine. It happens all the time don't be surprised, for when the time comes that you fly away,they'll have a pray and settle in, to eat what's left in your bread bin. Then they'll go too,they always do but who will hold a wake for them? Worry not, for there are always men to feast upon the dead.

Last night of the Proms
No matter what happens just keep playing kid. I was sixteen when I first started playing music as a DJ in a little redneck bar in Carolina . Green as a glade of grass that would soon change . I hung with the barflys the rejects the bikers and the ones that just couldn't leave there past behind. I wasn't friends with kids my age I found my crowd and tried every vice in between. You don't know **** at sixteen so don't pretend you do I learned from those who scars were many as the stories they told. I watched the crowd they were always willing to turn on you It was sink or ******* swim in a sea of smoke and stale beer . The women weren't like the girls in high school . There was no delusion of something more just a fast night and a good time followed by a ****** up hangover . I had nothing in common with my own age group hell I partied with there parents knew off duty cops thieves and dope dealers . They were all full of **** in there own way. I cared little for a classroom I learned everything I needed to survive in those little dive bars . I was underage six foot four acted and looked older so I just fit in . There was danger There was always some **** just waiting to happen . No wonder I left the awkward world of social climbers and ******** proms behind. Money was fast and so was everything worth a goodtime. Who the **** needs someone when you can have the chaos of another night. It was everything that I missed and never knew existed . I will always remember that little ugly *** stage . The faces changed real music still lives . I gave them happiness they gave me there money. It was my life's college . The brain would learn what the pen would write many years later . If your worried bout the page at sixteen your lost already. Life will fill in the gaps . Live first then it will all eventually fit together . I forget everything now but I never forget those times . One stage is always like the next . The only rule no matter what happens when your up there . Just keep playing kid . Just keep playing.

I am a ****** That is a powerful word a putrid, painful word a psychotic thing to say out loud to know about myself to admit to You. This is the worst thing I know about myself that I ***** a girl once without even realizing what I was doing. I don't know why I'm saying this now. I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this for admitting this horrible thing I did for displaying this repulsive repugnant piece of my personal history like picking up a piece of my **** and showing it to You. I don't know why I'm saying this. I don't know why I'm telling this. I guess because after all these years more than half my life later I still haven't forgotten I can't forget I still regret so I guess it simply needs to be said. So call it a confession. And now the bargaining begins. The inevitable qualifications. Because while it is true I am a ****** that powerful, putrid, painful, psychotic word calls forth to mind an image of violence and brutality that is not me and is not what I am trying to say and is not what happened that night. We were very young not even twenty and stupid clearly stupid and we'd been "going out" for years Homecomings and Junior Proms we'd taken each others' virginity many years before this was not our first dance. And we were drunk. Blind drunk. It's not an excuse but it's a fact and it's relevant and it needs to be said. We had rented a hotel room away from our parents alone free and we were ******* joyously terrificially. Young Free Drunk ******* It was a glorious night. At some point she said, "Wait, stop." I don't know why. To this day, I have no idea what happened what was wrong why she wanted me to stop. But I remember what I said. I'll never forget never be able to forget what I said what I did. She said, "Wait, stop." And I said, "No, I'm almost done." There is no apologizing for that no accepting it no getting over it. Not for her or for me. Some things just become a part of you forever and you can't hide them no matter how much you want to or how hard you try. Some words weigh on you like Marley's chains and you carry them for the rest of your life. And you should. I'm not seeking sympathy or solace I deserve neither and I wouldn't want them even if I did. I want to carry this chain. I have to. Because it is the only way I can attempt to balance out the equation and even have a hope of trying to begin to make up for what I did to her. I guess I just needed to acknowledge the chain admit it make it real so that I could keep carrying it a little longer.

I've been looking through my box. You know. The one I use to keep my memories So that one day, when I'm old, I can show my children. "This is what your mother's life was. This is who she was, once." But see, the problem is it's filled with you. We were so happy once. We were so in love. I see these pictures of us At proms, ***** inside your car And I see that. There is no way these people could not have been happy together. But things change. I don't have any pictures of you From after the middle of senior year. From when we started growing Separately. From when we started falling out of love. Or at least, I did. But I have your notes Your photos Your movie tickets and circus stubs. I have your photos And we were just so happy. We were so together. I'm not going back to you I don't regret what I've done But it's just hard to understand And hard to see that smile Even if it is frozen in time.

mementos
It’s not easy being a girl. Guys walk around thinking life’s a bowl of lemons for girls. It’s not. We girls have to do our makeup perfectly. Have the trouble of running with ***** bouncing all the time. Careful not to let our nail polish chip, We worry about wearing shirts that show too much. Have to make sure our bra straps don’t show. Dreading what to wear every time, We dread wearing the same pair of pants too often. Always braiding, curling, and straitening our hair. We have to shave our legs and armpits. Always tweezing our ****** hair daily, We’re always insecure. We have to buy dresses for proms and homecomings. We become sad when our guys don’t text us back. Always on our periods, Massive cramps. Getting our first kiss is a big deal. Missing your ex, Breaking up or fighting with your boyfriend. We wonder what we did wrong. Hate being lied to. We go through fighting and losing best friends. Being cheated on, We’re always misunderstood. Wanting different hair color or eyes, We go through liking a favorite shirt but it’s never in our size. Never feeling good enough, Being called a ***** when you’re a ****** We suffer secrets getting out. Being dumped, Making mistakes, We have people letting us not forget our mistakes. Bad hair days, Swearing too much, Always smelling good. And the hard part of being a girl, Is that we have to go through this for the rest of our lives.

Being A Girl
No fanfare here no trumpets just a so long and nice to seeya and move along there's nothing to see be a darling move along, please. High above the bay of pigs tables moved around, no fanfare here just the sound of change being changed and nothing to see here, be a dear and move along, please. On hallowed ground in hallowed halls where stalls are put out to catch those locked out or in depending on their point of view I saw you dancing with Joe Carter, bartering your soul? The devil dresses many ways and moves like Fred Astaire I saw you dancing there with him I saw you in the dim light on the last night of the proms on hallowed ground in hallowed halls I wished I'd had the ***** to punch Joe Carter in the face

The slush fund
I endure - this is the way of the unblessed in a land of storms; A moment expands - scared river on the hills then back tumbling sandwalking in a land of worms; Holding hope by the beat of heart, closures ever birthing in a land of proms; And then a candle burns through - fragrant at night; The blessed have their heavens; The unblessed, satori;

Play the drum roll! Enlist the naive young men who played hockey and lacrosse in high school. Who got laid at their proms. Drank with their buddies. Planned their futures. Dreamed their dreams. Tell them they have to defend freedom. Play them songs of heroism and pride. Show them pretty pictures of foreign women. Insist they should be proud of such a “career”. 'The few and the brave! ' 'The mighty and proud! ' Dress them in the same green uniform. Shout at them. Destroy their will to think. Give them guns and banners to carry. Make up an enemy, teach them to hate. Send them far away to a country they've read about in magazines. March them. Parade them. Deploy them. Set them against other young men who were dreamed into the same nightmare. Let the two sides come into battle. The ultimate hero contest for young men! Brittle bombs. Knives, destruction. A good cause! When you are finished using their youth, send some of them home shattered and afraid. Keep some for tomorrow's new headline war. For the dead, send home a flag to their mothers. Don't forget to tell the grieving families that their sons died for freedom!

How To Play War
when angels get deadly bored in  angelland they decide to matchmake yin and yang a breathtaking game of -love and hate- kicks off their watch broadcasts meditative brittle glitters as expected from the dutiful glitter brittles finally they also have fun oh the glorious common hearted one but for a while it remains and ubiquitousness escapes within that while infinite loop while with condition always returns true    assured  they are to have hoarded a concept of none because only none can break the program it runs through curls and whirls attracts and repels hums and vector sums bubbly groans made of sour cherry wood drums asymptotic shapes of ascension moans 'Oh yes this surely is miraculous!' one for fun one for ‘oh please be my hon’ Stay at the jolly night of proms with us we are so heartily amused! They travel beyond ignorance to a pointless point of their own absence ‘for the land’ they repeatedly say from far far away lost words as such slowly produces by-products made of tingly-wiggly bugs capable of delaying holiness of now capable of creating time for no one with a halt sign until game of supremeness bears a ... break! made of HUM a Sound like none heard once along the aileron of  a vitreous dome while the unheard stays with the one and which is of one wipes off that angelland for the better I guess

Once there was an angelland
"don't let anyone you wouldn't want to be inside you" stuffy grandmothers whisper after bar mitzfahs or quinceaneras or senior proms while they are whisked away by the rough hands of boys. protecting the inches between her legs will always be more important than anything else. ankles crossed sitting on the washing machine until her mom slaps her across the face.

satan is walking this earth
To my mother on Mother's Day Before I start what might seem like, The longest, most important, Extremely emotional poem, I must say these words Although they don't express the amount Of which I LOVE YOU!! I love you, I Love You, I LOVE YOU! I know that there are days, Days when I say: Go away; I hate you; I wish you weren't part of my life. But you have to remember, Most of all, The memories that stick with ME, Are these: The day you brought home our dogs; The day you told us we were moving; The day we fell in love with my puppy; When we brought home my puppy; The summers returning home; All those sports games you showed up to And cheered me on; The day I finished 8th grade; All those dances you helped me get ready for; Those lunch/shopping dates; Both my proms; Senior graduation; And finally, The day you dropped me off for college! These days and even more Are forever burned, seared, Into my mind. Nothing can ever replace them, But we can add more days, Days just as important, Or special, As the years go on. Through all my mistakes, My accomplishments, My craziness, My ups and downs, You have been there. Lifting me up And reminding me who I was And that I was special. Showing me That nobody else's opinion mattered, No one's but mine. So today, On this day, This day specially for you, Mother's Day, I want to say: Thank you. Thank you for loving me; For watching out for me; For showing me the way; But most of all, Thank you For being my mother! THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU!!! Happy Mother's Day <3

To My One And Only
To my mother on Mother's Day Before I start what might seem like, The longest, most important, Extremely emotional poem, I must say these words Although they don't express the amount Of which I LOVE YOU!! I love you, I Love You, I LOVE YOU! I know that there are days, Days when I say: Go away; I hate you; I wish you weren't part of my life. But you have to remember, Most of all, The memories that stick with ME, Are these: The day you brought home our dogs; The day you told us we were moving; The day we fell in love with my puppy; When we brought home my puppy; The summers returning home; All those sports games you showed up to And cheered me on; The day I finished 8th grade; All those dances you helped me get ready for; Those lunch/shopping dates; Both my proms; Senior graduation; And finally, The day you dropped me off for college! These days and even more Are forever burned, seared, Into my mind. Nothing can ever replace them, But we can add more days, Days just as important, Or special, As the years go on. Through all my mistakes, My accomplishments, My craziness, My ups and downs, You have been there. Lifting me up And reminding me who I was And that I was special. Showing me That nobody else's opinion mattered, No one's but mine. So today, On this day, This day specially for you, Mother's Day, I want to say: Thank you.

There will be  pictures I want to see. Pictures of your life-line growing, In a background with Christmas Trees, School days, soccer matches, Recitals and dinner blessings, Parties, proms and outright laughing, When all who matter are present. I'm not taking the picture. I'm not in the picture. So, Remember Me. Don't release me. Sit with your children's children, Open and tell a story About a picture in the book; They may laugh with bewildered looks At the old Irishman, The Da da, Daddy, Dad, and Faja, The one who's loved you From conception on, Your old man.

The Sacred Book
Dear straight people, whilst you are happy holding hands with your partner, there are people hiding their feelings for the person they love because of the steel gaze of passers-by, and because of words ripping through their skin like bullets as people jeer and jest. you are the reason we are trapped in the closet. On the daily teens are faced with protests, murders and fiery screams of condemnation for holding hands with their partner, then see stories of a man who married himself and a woman who married the Eiffel tower. They had no shrieks of hell, no sour protests. Leaving us wondering--- “Is it just me?”, “Am I a freak?”, “Is it really just a phase? We retreat to our cast iron chamber that is the closet, waiting for “This phase” you keep talking about to pass. whilst you are busy planning proms, going out on dates and hanging out with friends, there are teenagers sat crying, because they are too afraid to leave their room, they are made to feel unwelcome in their own home. whilst you are busy reporting on Donald trump’s rise, Kim Kardashians latest dress and even Burnley’s championship win. There are stories that will never be told. Stories like the fact that 40% of LGBT have attempted suicide with 34,000 having had succeeded this year alone, that’s almost enough to fill Stanford bridge. But of course, we only care if they attend “Oxbridge” Dear straight people, we care, we matter, we live, we love.

Dear Straight People
You're not who you were. You're not who you will be. You're part way up your steep frail stair And always will be. You're a part completed work. You're perfect as you are. You're emerging as from aged oak block, A part-seen piece of art. You're a faint chime in the wind. You're a symphony by Brahms. You're an orchestra tuning up At last night at the proms. I love you as you are. I love all you will grow to be. As I hold you in my arms Lost in your newborn beauty.

She knew it wouldn't last with Chrissie. Chrissie was too moral too limited. Delia wanted more *** and ***** the fast life to see the world and play Bach or Bartok on the piano at five in the morning before the light was dawning. Now she lies beside that young student girl whom she befriended after the Proms and who sleeps beside her now full of soft fruit and juices. A viola player not bad player up for it after a few drinks and dinner at that posh restaurant. She wonders what Chrissie was doing now whom she was with. The young student is lying face turned towards her mouth slightly open sleeping like some picture book princess or sleeping beauty. Delia smiles feels hungry feels hungry for *** again wants to finger the honey hive **** the juices nibble the soft fruits. Her father is in Spain sunning it with that young rich ***** Delia scratches her thigh and thatch feeling an itch.
