"recordings" poems
I still reference you in conversations. I still smell your flannels. I wonder how soft your hair is today. I kiss the walls of the shower just to hear the same pop our lips would make. I wish I had endless pictures of your collar bones and eyes. I wish I had endless access to your thighs and chest and that dot on your neck. When I *** I say your name. Your voice recordings aren't the same.  I want you to call and put me to sleep with your breath and I want this all without the repercussions. I want you to be my friend. And I want the benefit of you being my lover again.

'Friends with Benefits' don't benefit at all.
I can only hear your voice now Through recordings How sick is that? I mean I do know for a fact That you are dead. But honestly I can't get it through my head.

Voice
we never really hear our voices only the echo in our heads or recordings that make us sound electronic and nothing like ourselves - so how could we even begin to fathom how utterly beautiful we sound when we whisper to someone at three a.m. that we are in love with them. cs

for Harlon Rivers the river potion, the river portent, the river potent it is all of these and not one he is bank sided, observing the false idols, the image mirrored in the glass of the river transfigured molecularly he becomes something ferried frothily, forcefully as if a twig or a small thing of human manufacture, an object tossed up airborne-repeatedly his poetry: the clash of particles at the many junctions of objects and water, eddies and the currents, ceaselessly circumnavigating,   searching revisionary pathways directed, but randomized, prisoner of the flows, servant to the wind's directives and the earths magnetic indivisible undulating waves thinking, this life, its unsteady gait,  the irreverent wavering of drunkenness resultant from potent potions, portents of inopportune position in him, my own histories,  my poetic recordings also become water borne, watermarked, replayed back for me, for erasure, censure, closure and rededication this River is a tapestry, a torn map, drawn on broken shards of slivered water, living with all the others but we, are the untitled, we, are the un-entitled, and he is the Rivers <•>

For Harlon: The River Potion
When, instead of cozying in bed I wander out there with Kerouac, Imagining that I am Kerouac Or some slave who walks upright; Or a priest without a crowd With hands and feet tied. When, instead of snoring like hell, I am left unimaginative by some; I am making disgusting Love with shadows unknown And remain pinned against the wall. I am some nine year old senile who wets her bed in fear and disbelief. Lights flicker and then fade And the switch becomes a button pressed to send Someone in raving comfort. I am not a stranger to sleepless nights Even when night becomes noon. Nightmares haunt me no more but I Am left haunted by my bed. Sheets crumpled by tossing and turning. My bed does not recognize my warmth. Voice recordings and constant tweetings Pump blood to my Über active head. Sleepless nights are well received as my body Succumbs to sleep. I live in a different world with five hundred other names And the ten thousand other Me’s are all in disarray. (And when the clock chimes at one, two, three ‘til way down six, There’s a carnival of sorts with hair strands flailing like Seven sets of arms.) I am not a stranger to sleepless nights And wetting my bed is not a Sin. I am sinful beyond recognition, as my bed is my witness. I have had different beds But to me, they’re all the same. Some, soft; others, too hard Or covered in satin, exaggerated by the moonlight. Some, made of wood While others, with tight springs. Water’s absurd but so is steel. Double padding, triple linings, four feet, at times, none; There’s the car, the guest room, the floor, hospital bed, A seat next to a complete stranger --- I make my bed before sleeping And leave it when I’m done. I am not a stranger to sleepless nights And I jump on the bed at midnight. I am not a stranger to morning tides and the morning shows on TV. I’m not a stranger at all, no, And when I sleep, I sleep in peace. Stranger things have happened Noons and sudden weekends are no way sleep - inducing; I am left believing That nights and days dance in my Sleeplessness.

Governments fall from sheer indifference. Authority figures, deprived of the vampiric energy they **** off their constituents, are seen for what they are: dead empty masks manipulated by computers. And what is behind the computers? Remote control. Of course. Look at the prison you are in, we are all in. This is a penal colony that is now a Death Camp. Place of the Second and Final Death. Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. Don’t intend to be there when this ********* goes up. Nothing here now but the recordings. Shut them off, they are as radioactive as an old joke…

Bobo's kitchen
***a morning conversation with surprising anecdotes of unique explorations.. reported confrontations by science practitioners' sudden dates with death.. now authoring testimonies of their dimensional truth.. much comfort growing from ample recordings of bright tunnel experience.. let us now inquire are these flashing NDE's consciousness leaps..? might they point to death's vital role.. at last finding real self-awareness.. life in this moment..? asking then.. is not each breath our moment experience of near death...?***

Near-Death-Experience
A Softer Way to Die We live and study life We pray that somehow God changes his rules. No one wants to die No one wants to follow Those complicated laws; I mean no lie-ing - no steal-ing no *** - before marriage no Fornicate-ing, no kill-ing No lust-greed or defil-ing the earth. Amen. All we can do now is try to find " A softer way to die". Pick your battles... There are many ways to die. I asked, God why? When mom threw a "Monkey wrench" in my world Answering - "We all have to die" I immediately winked at God... Thinking to myself ( not I) . Gave him a little nudge; Sidebar God : I said to God Adamantly "I do not want to die" "Can you change the rules "? I never heard back from him On that subject.. I went to him again God "Can you at least Keep me with a mom- I said "So that I won't be an Orphan like Shirley Temple" ? He did get back to me on that And Mom is Alive and well Plan A. ( living forever) Still not executed. Once again contemplating Thoughts on how I want to die. I could not think of a pleasant way To die, none that seemed appealing. Nor any options that would be fun. hmmm, eat myself to death. Playing chicken with the train, Might prove thrilling. As time grew nigh My thoughts continued ....On a softer way to die. Childhood gone, middle age gone' Old age approaching fast and furious Destroying me like a sudden Approaching hurricane... This storm knocked out my lights Memory gone now.. Forgetting my life- my loved ones Forgetting my friends, Children,and foes alike Forgetting my wrongs - my sins and accomplishments all. Everything's gone. So now What do I do ?... How can I rewrite my life,Take account.. Of that which I remember not. The realities of my existence Has been wiped out from The Forest Fires burning In my minds eye. Have no recordings of Who loved me or of who I shall never forgive. How will I know that I ever even lived. Taking my dark blank pages into The after life- My shadowy Existence ends. I feel no pain I Have no thoughts, Have nothing to contemplate. For I have asked to live forever Or that I die a,softer way Forgetting to eat Forgetting to drink- Forgetting to swallow Forgetting to breath... Forgetting this life- I close my eyes and fade away. painlessly © Vicki Acquah

Abalang-abala ka sa pakikipag-usap sa iyong kustomer at hindi mo na namalayang tumatakbo ang oras. Ang nasa isip mo lamang nang mga oras na iyon ay matapos mo ang iyong trabaho nang walang palya at walang ano mang iisipin pa. Nang iyong tanggalin ang headset ay doon mo lamang napansing ikaw na lamang pala ang nag-iisang ahente sa ikatlong palapag ng opisinang iyong pinapasukan sa isang call center. Tanging ang liwanag na lamang sa iyong station ang tanglaw nang mga oras na iyon. Kaya naman ay sinipat mo ang orasan sa iyong wrist watch at napagtantong isang oras na lamang at sarado na rin ang buong building at kailangan mo ng umuwi. Inayos mo na ang iyong mga gamit at siniguradong na-i-document mo nang maayos ang mga calls recordings mo. Nag-inat-inat ka pa muna bago mo pinatay ang monitor at CPU ng iyong kompyuter. Hinintay mo munang naka-shut down na ito bago ka tumayo. Nang tuluyan na nga itong namatay ay agad **** binitbit ang iyong back pack. Nang tatalikod ka na ay isang malamig na simoy ng hangin ang nanuot sa iyong balat. Sa iyong pagkakaalam ay sarado naman ang mga bintana sa opisinang iyon at sigurado kang pinapatay na rin ang aircon kapag isang tao o walang tao nang naiiwan roon. Ngunit, kakaibang lamig ang iyong naramdaman. Hindi lang iyon dahil isa, dalawa, at talong beses kang nakarinig na may nagtitipa sa keyboard. Halos lumabas na ang iyong mata sa takot pero nanatili ka pa ring matapang. Huminga ka muna nang malalim at agad nilingon ang kanina pang nagtitipang bagay sa iyong likuran. At doon ay lalo kang nanginig nang makita ng iyong dalawang mata ang biglang pagliwanag ng monitor at sunod-sunod na pagtitipa ng wala namang kamay na mga letra sa keyboard. Nang mag-flash sa screen ang mga letra ay doon ka na nagtatakbo palabas dahil nakasulat doon ang mga katagang TYPING KEYBOARD na may kasamang pigura ng duguang bungo.

Well now, I used to teach. I mean, I still do, but it's only for their benefit now, isn't it? It's like the doctors and the greengrocers and the streetsweepers and librarians, still going through the motions while they take recordings and what have you. I guess we should be glad that they're interested in the way we lived, you know, before they arrived. But my kids, you know, they're all actors. They might learn the odd piece of arcane knowledge but I can tell they know they don't need it. No, no, I'm no rebel I don't want any trouble. Things are better since they arrived, of course they are. I mean, their technology - we couldn't have come up with that in a million years. And they're very polite. I have a colleague who says this is because they feel guilty about their success, but I don't know about that. Things were bad for a while, but I guess maybe that was our fault. We didn't know how to react. We adjusted poorly. It's hard to accept that you're, you know, obsolete. Even me, you know. For a while there I was, well, I was drinking a little too much. It was hard, seeing the school destroyed. They've done a good job with the facsimile though. even smells the same. Yup, can't complain. Can't complain.

Resignation
Often poets communicate via internet voice recordings sharing dancing lovers videos as pen pals may venture to do; no it doesn't mean we do not exist people aren't virtual cartoons! We have feelings emotions we love the mind makes it all real. We are real people in different countries interchanging loyalties we are perhaps more real then couples living together yet disconnected in many ways, and not in love either but rather utterly bored. ~~ So don't be cruel saying I am virtual and you've met the love of your life already and want no one else, but your Zaheera for all eternity because she's omnipresent real.! Trying to make her jealous with me a real poetess!? think again! Zaheera and me can smell your rat. She is more a fantasy for years if she even exists Why the virtual competitiveness and AnK isn't real? We are breathing eating sleeping loving trusting sharing yet not real!? In your book of tricks ? Hu? How shall we search for real connections hu? have you noticed though the whole planet has gone virtual. it's become a ritual,! All people are real living brings not virtual their lap tops cell phones  c are the virtual conduits, though so what !? ~~~~~~~~ By Mr and Mrs Andrews inspired by Karijinbba.7/21

Real people behind virtual poetry writing on lap tops
*When you are gone, Its not your smile that I'll miss the most. Nor is it your laughter. I will not miss your rythmic voice Nor will I miss your amazing speeches. When you are gone, I'll have all those video clippings And all those unnecessary voice recordings to be my aid in your absence. But hundreds and hundreds of clips Filled to the brim with your laughter and voice, will never be able to take your place. And that's because they'll all be a repetition. They'll show me what my eyes have already seen. Priceless moments... They'll never be able to create them, Like you did all the time With your amazing mind. However hard I am on myself. The truth will always be that I'll miss you. I'll definitely miss your heart which was your aid until this last day. But what I'll miss the most, is your mind and your everlasting soul. I'll miss them beyond words.*

There it sits Waiting Watching It's a Yamaha With a Union-Jack back The last of it's Kind It's been a faithful companion It came to me When I was six Not brand new But second hand Through all the tears All the humiliation All the pain All the scoldings All the belittlings It stuck through with me With sweat and blood Shed on the keys It didn't complain When I threw My tantrums Banging the keys Even kicking it once Or twice It just waited And watched me Till I calmed down And felt Stupid After I practised Everyday And not once Did it Complain It has a really bright Crystal clear Sound With this certain Energy And depth I took great pride In taking care of it Polishing it Every other day Till it shone Like a mirror As time went by One grade after the other The practises became Less and Less I didn't care for it As much as I did Before A year passed Then another Now I'm fourteen It's twenty eight Or more I've had my share Of performing On stage With all types of pianos But there was this One thing That was different With my piano Something it Lacked The sound is there The energy is there But somehow When I compare the recordings My dear piano Just sounds Tired... The touch stickier The keys start failing On some days It sounds Muted Always slightly off key No matter how many times The piano man comes This is one patient The doctor can't treat Is it possible That emotions Can be transferred To objects? Has my raging Over the keyboard Tired it out By having to Express What I play And what I Put Into the pieces? It's a piano Of memories Of thoughts Of an inexpressable phenomenon Called feelings "Where words fail, music speaks" I salute you Dear piano For allowing me To express myself Through the written pieces You help Materialize We have grown together Walked this long journey together And with all the memories Sweat Blood Tears That has made me today I won't part with Till the very end, Dear piano So shall we continue?

Is there happiness hidden behind your withered bones? You've always felt everything too deeply, maybe that's why your ribs are broken. How many mirrors have you broken since he left you? Every day is another battle between who you were with his oxygen and who you are now without it. I think the saddest thing I had to witness was you carving his name into stone skin so you could bleed out all of him that was left in your veins. You fill voids with sunset pictures and recordings of his voice when we both know it's killing you more than it's keeping you alive. How many days has it been since you overdosed on sentimental morphine? How many times do we have to go through this until you realize he's not coming back? He's never coming back.

Once upon a time, sweet soldier, we were everything! We were shy glances and piercing stares, bitter coffee and sweet cider, nervous laughter and easy smiles. We were all-nighters and painfully early mornings, utter exhaustion and unexplainable energy, distracted work days and focused only on each other. We were photographs and video recordings, magic tricks and storytelling, Monty Python and Charlie the Unicorn imitators. (We were total dorks!) We were late night jogs and wrestling, motorcycle rides and beach-walking, seekers of adventure and last minute decision making. We were short pecks on the cheek, and long passionate kisses, fierce embraces and soft caresses. We were soul-searchers and wound-healers, dreamers and risk-takers, keepers of secrets and whisperers of truth. We were sanity and craziness, possibilities and improbabilities, with everything and yet nothing going for us. We were in love.

We Were
Free Flying above the clouds Soaring above the Earth and through the stars. Past all of the known planets Those out of our galaxy The new planets I view The new and hotter suns I see Blaze more energies to fill the empty regions of my mind called "mystery." Fuel my spirit and make it run harder To new found inhabitants and their newer worlds. Astral planes of spirit that don't require a vessel or star ship to hold in or hold back the soul that travels as it's own transport Faster than any "law of physics" Realer than the factual brought in by third party satellites. I gather more and more brighter and true information Later to bring such forth in my grounded and non-traveling form Waiting to share my results to those who don't limit their beliefs to any said "rule" or "fenced in logic formula" I ride the waves to the calling gates of astral transport As my soul escapes my heavy and limited physical self Late in the night The recordings of fact stored in the logics of my soul Are vivid and ready to be replayed to share such gifts of learning to those eager to believe in it's payload and form.

The screen is a madhouse of body-building, ego-boosting, and bad gig recordings. I see her bronzing in the beach, applying lotion and laughing with a new friend. I'm still stuck in the snow, watching her skirt in the breeze. I chain coffee in the morning to counter sobriety, to show that I know her more than just by the light of the moon. In sunglasses, we'll meet somewhere neutral; an escape route to run if the patient becomes lunatic again. She'll administer the pill from her pockets to ensure I'll flat-line through her absences, and then resurrect when she's lost her appetite. Far away from this selfish depression, I dream of us painting a wall. Nothing dies when it is made into memory; nothing lives without your early morning call.

Albums, collections of songs, A collection of words brought together to right, wrongs or just to hurt they're there forever. Somewhere. Old recordings on vinyl or hand written on papers. New recordings still on vinyl but more objected to haters. To be easily accessed and heard by everyone fans or not, torn to shreds when criticised, a song is unappreciated for what amount of effort the artist went through to create something new and original just for you, for your ears. To view, to be a signal. That originality isn't dead or dying or even injured but instead living to be heard by millions around the world.
