Put out a cigarette. Lite a new one. Take a shower. Drink some coffee. Quick brush of the teeth. This is how John Carpenter starts his day. Start the truck. Lite a cigarette. Drive. Drive. Lite a new cigarette. Drive. This is how John Carpenter goes to work. Check in with the boss. Sit down at typewriter. Lite a cigarette. Think. Type. Type. Lite a cigarette. Type. Type. Lite a cigarette. Type. Type. Type. Think. Stretch. Lite a cigarette. Type. This is how John Carpenter spend the first hour at work. Repeat seven times. Check out with boss. Start the truck. Lite a cigarette. Drive. Drive. Lite another cigarette. Drive. This is how John Carpenter drives home. Take off his coat. Lite a cigarette. Feed the dog. Cook a steak. Drink a beer. Eat the steak. Drink another beer. Lite a cigarette. Watch the ballgame. Lite another cigarette. Lite four or five more throughout the game. Quick brush of the teeth. Lite a cigarette. Read. Read. Read. Lite another. Read. Read. Drink some brandy. Fall asleep. This is how John Carpenter spends his evening. Repeat all of this 7,304 times. This is how John Carpenter spends his life. And when he has smoked enough cigarettes for a lifetime and read enough for a life time and eaten enough steak and drank enough brandy and beer and written enough novels for a lifetime he will die. And only Mary Stein will miss him.

The Life Of John Carpenter.
You'll come around, soon, realize This is not pain you are getting for refusing me pleasure This a pleasure I am giving, so you don't refuse MY pain.

Wined Stein
I'm  a bit like Brett I like my beer,  Senator Feinstein, Ha. Your name has stein in it, thats  like a beer mug, i dont have blackouts from beer drinking. It's the lack of that makes me forget. I don't remember much of this morning. Went to work got some **** done, I Don't think I molested any women, But it's all foggy. I remember going into DG after work. They got 15 packs for 6.95. Cept I vaguely recall creeping out. They were Out. Until i found three of them white boxes with red and blue lettering an A With wings insignia I'd  tucked in A corner of the store behind cases of Heinekens, out of my league drink, For just this situation. ******* patriotic Almost. I think it's doing my part to support this free-market capitalistic Economy. Like paying taxes. Better than voting. So you all can impune Kavanaughs Character all you want. I like beer so do he. So. Back to me. I couldn't wait for one. I'd put six in the freezer. And it had been ten minutes. I drank it lukewarm. And my memory came back. The fog cleared. Oh yeah, his problem Isn't that he loves beer Like I  do, it's that he was a punk upper class white dude who Pushed around young girls, laughed while he felt them up, Thought he was entitled to. That's over the line, even for Republicans. You are not like my justice. I am a justice of peace and integrity. Go drink beer, BRETT, JUST NOT ON THE SUPREME COURT.

I like beer, too
Symphony No.9 in d – minor, opus 125 Allegro ma non troppo The silence gives way gently to quiet tremolos rustling beneath the beckoning call of distant horns. A melodic cell, nascent in violins, spirals down to the somber depths of cello and contrabass. A sudden cataclysm shakes the hall like thunder heralding our universal birth. Gales of sonic force splashed like turbulent waves against the rocky shores. Drifting sans glass or sextant on a sea of expanding mystery, we gaze to the heavens in hopes for a glimpse of our father’s aetherial dwelling. Molto vivace With hands intertwined, we dance in a ring to the capricious airs of the laughing gods with Zeus himself on timpani. So pass the wine and kiss your neighbor and fill your glass to the brim! For today is yesterday’s morrow and tomorrow’s history. Adagio molto e cantabile There is no greater and more healing light than the candles that shine in the eyes of a friend or loving spouse -   tenderly lighting our paths through the storms and fogs that cloud our lives. Peace abides in a friend's embrace. An die Freude Against raging storms of strife and sorrow. we hear a healing voice A calm cello hymn - that migrates up to higher cords of violas and violins - breaking into joyous song sung by trumpets, winds and drums. Casting all shrillness of discord aside, a baritone lines out Schiller’s ode - and sings of Elysium’s daughter.   Quartet and chorus enter in proclaiming hope for the human family, A tenor raises a stein to valor in the company of his friends. The quiet pulsing of horns and winds ushers in torrents of ecstasy. Arms clasped in communal embrace, we gaze to heaven on bended knees then rise with a majestic fugue that illuminates our souls like a blazing Alpine dawn. In a cyclone of passion, Schiller's words and Beethoven's notes entreat us to restore what custom has rent apart that each of us may live our lives as brothers in heavenly sanctuary. May 25, 2007

Carrying your name forward on a silver stein raft with the wreckage of me I long to crave, mouth agape, eyes watering proof I long to crave, my deciduous vulnerability flashed wide upon when you’re there I long to crave, your sweet nectar lips dipped in honey; have a taste of your white chocolate lava cake I long to crave, to stare into the openness of your porcelaina doll face I long to crave, look through the window to your soul through your nebulaic eyes. I long to crave, Suggestively suggestive advice from you to me to you I long to crave, My lover dreamer’s dream I long to crave, My tinder streak keeping me warm I long to crave, the shoulder to lean on in my darkest hours I long to crave, The person I want to be beside When I’m at my most beautiful. I long to crave, Oh, how I long to crave ? My undying longing to crave. You.

Dear ****** you have took so much from me. You took my will to live. You took my pride. You took my faith in humanity. You took my virginity at the age of 13. You took my innocences. You took my safty. Dear ****** you have destroyed me. You destroyed my life. You ruined who I was then. Dear ****** you have made me live in fear. I suffer from PTSD because of you. I suffer from depression. I suffer from anxiety. Dear ****** I trusted you and you used that against me. Goodbye my ****** I hope you enjoy rotting in that cell for what you have done to me.

Dear ******
I imagine you a bloodcurdling scene, with your avant-garde of conscious stream slaying syntax smearing words like the battered wife whose entity shadows identity. and your rose is a rose is a rose is a rose revolves a continuous, endless carousal repeating controversies without just end, just being oh, You voodoo Queen of rare success how does this convince the modernist?

What do you Mean Gertrude Stein?
Cheers to sharing bottles of wine, fifths of whiskey, and beers by the stein To plugging yourself into that amplifier and playing your song with the volume higher Others join, you're a band pumping great sound we'll have what we're having, 'nother round! Honest fellowship is here Spirits rise with bubbles in the beer Cares are gone as soon as you begin to feel the warmth start from within

LETTER FROM GERTRUDE STEIN, PARIS 1940
WHITE DOWN White down so high  and yet so lowly, soft, your flecks of light where brown turf darkens  damp, so innocently growing 'spite the weather; torn clouds, against the blue or grey, beside you green of moss stone, heather,  grasses, hay, Not lauded,  given honours like the rose but there the mountain knows your sweet repose.  M. A. Waddicor 10th sept 2011. Translated into Norwegian... MYRULL   Kvite dun så høgt på strå og likevel så kravlaus, mjuk.   Lysa dine logar der torva mørknar fuktig, brun.   Du veks uskuldig, rein trass uvêr, rivne skyer mot det blå og grå.   Ved sida di er grøne mosen, stein, lyng, gras og vier.   Ikkje lovprisa eller gjeve heidersteikn, som rosa bar; men fjellet kjenner til din vakre kvilestad.               M. A. Waddicor/ Gjendikting ved Åse Lilleskare Faugstad COTTON GRASS YOU WAVE Waving at the sky, you tufts of downy white, your presence in the marsh, or standing on the cracked dry earth, the bottom of a bog. So delicate you are, in such a place, where winter blizzards blow, and icy waters, snow,  cover your bed.  Yet there you always are,  a faithful friend to travellers, a light where grey skies dull, a flag to show where not to go  in rain. As pretty as a poem tossed  on hardy stems not pictured in a painting yet as dainty, beautiful  and free,  as any bloom can be.  M. Ann Waddicor  10th September 2011.

Cotton grass poems/ Myrull poem
Eleven dead; six injured. How does a person try to explain The enormity of such a crime-- The inexplicable loss, the pain? All were shot at a place of worship-- At a synagogue in Pittsburgh, P-A, On what began as a peaceful morning On a late October Sabbath day. Early that morning no one could have Imagined the horror the day would bring, Even though we live in a time When hatred seems to be in full swing. It takes only ONE hater To change the course of many lives In a country where underneath The peaceful appearance, violence thrives. The president says that armed guards Are what we need and not tougher laws. He bows before the gun lobby, Addressing the symptoms, but not the cause. Helping refugees get settled: For that the synagogue is known. That was an issue that irked the killer, Who was from here. Yes, homegrown! Do we ignore red flag warnings And turn our heads when someone spews Hatred of groups such as Muslims, Asylum seekers, gays, or Jews? Do we ignore the poisonous words That constantly drip down from the top? At what point do the majority Of people say: This must stop! Give praise to those who strive for positive Change with every heartfelt endeavor. And hold in your heart the many people Whose lives have now been changed forever. _____________________ May the victims' lives inspire us all by showing us the power of love, and may they rest in peace. Joyce Fienberg Richard Gottfried Rose Mallinger Jerry Rabinowitz Cecil Rosenthal David Rosenthal Bernice Simon Sylvan Simon Daniel Stein Melvin Wax Irving Younger And may thoughts of love and healing embrace the injured. -by Bob B (10-28-18)

Chance Operations are methods of generating poetry independent of the author’s will. A chance operation can be almost anything from throwing darts and rolling dice, to the ancient Chinese divination method, I-Ching, and even sophisticated computer programs. Most poems created by chance operations use some original text as their source, be it the newspaper, an encyclopedia, or a famous work of literature. The purpose of such a practice is to play against the poet’s intentions and ego, while creating unusual syntax and images. The resulting poems allow the reader to take part in producing meaning from the work. The roots of using chance operations to generate poetry are generally traced to the Dada movement in Western Europe in the early and mid-twentieth-century, involving writers such as André Breton, Louis Aragon, Tristan Tzara, Philippe Soupault, and Paul Éluard. The Dadaists were deeply interested in the subconscious, and they believed that the mind would create associations and meaning from any text, including those generated through random selections. In one section of Tzara’s “Dada Manifesto on Feeble & Bitter Love," he offers the following instructions to make a Dadaist poem, here translated from the original French by Barbara Wright: “Take a newspaper. Take some scissors. Choose from this paper an article the length you want to make your poem. Cut out the article. Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them all in a bag. Shake gently. Next take out each cutting one after the other. Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag. The poem will resemble you. And there you are--an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the ****** herd.” The use of chance operations in contemporary poetry has been used most famously by the international avant-garde group Fluxus, poet Jackson Mac Low, and the poet and composer John Cage. A good example of a poem that was written using chance operations is Jackson Mac Low’s “Stein 100: A Feather Likeness of the Justice Chair," which also includes Mac Low’s explanation of the methods he used to compose the poem.

Walking down main street, not worried about the rain, was John Carpenter. Sure, he had on his hat and coat, but he had not remembered to grab his umbrella. Luckily his sister had not been with him or else she would have had a fit. She was always talking about how he needed to bundle up more, he only got pneumonia twice  year, and seemed to always have a cold. He didn't mind though. More often then not, a nice hot cup of coco, or brandy would clear his sinuses and he'd be fine. Today he did not have a cold and today he was walking down mainstream, letting the rain fall gently upon his face and shoulders. He passed the bar he so often frequented in his younger years, and saw a familiar face across the not so busy main street. He stopped then, rather suddenly, and slumped agaisnt the wall. My, it had been years since he had seen her. Years since he had talked to her. Looking across the street, through light traffic and light rains he remembered the other times he had looked upon her face. He remembered the last time he had done so while seeing her. They had woken up in bed, him before her as was usual. They had woken up to kisses and squeezes and the smell of cigarettes and brandy and parchment. Looking across the street he remembered everything about her, The Girl With Flowers In Her Hair. He remembered the way she squeezed him tight, tighter than any other girl. He remembered the way she laughed after they kissed and he remembered how it had ended. A shameful night in March, two years ago. Drunkingly, he laid his hand upon her. Not in the nice way, but in the way his step father used to unto him. He did it because she would not go to the store to pick up more brandy. That is why he hit her. It was not the first time, though. The first time he had been drunk as well and it had been because she talked back to him, the way he would to his step father. Now, you must understand, she gave him a second chance. She swore that if he were to every lay a hand on her ever again she would be gone. He swore to her that he would never again do so. He would lay off the brandy and he would be the man he should be. The man his real father was, before he died. He would be a husband and a lover and a healer and a man. He promised these things. Then, two months later, he hit her again. This was the last time. She followed through on her promise and he did not see her until that moment, right then, as he looked across the street. He thought he should go over to her and say hello. He though maybe he should cry at her knees, God knows he wanted to. He thought he should beg for her back. No, he had not gotten off the brandy, but that's only because she left. He would though. Oh God, he would. Just as John Carpenter had worked up enough courage to cross the street and talk to Mary Stein, The Girl With Flowers In Her Hair, a man emerged from the building and grasped her arm. And she huddled close to him and looked up at him in a trusting, loving way. The way she used to him. Not the way John's mother did his stepfather. Not the way Mary did the last time she looked at him. The strode, Mary and the Man, arm in arm up the sidewalk. Into a taxi, that sped away, up the street and away from John. Oh God, how he would quit the brandy.

chalk candies all printed thereon different names for the same thing: a cry for help. all different colors, different lies, but all leave that disgusting aftertaste you get from candy hearts, which is precisely why they're not a staple of my diet. they're good for throwing away in puddles. there goes one for emily stein. there goes one for denira queen. there goes one for jilian quandison. one by one, letting go of memories. there goes one for spirit newberry. there goes one for krystin bullard. there goes one for tandra wood. one by one, loosing old ties. there goes lucy, and grace, and sarah, long gone. the box is almost empty. here's one for kimberly rhodes, the one i should have held on to. here's a deformed one for nicole watson, and a few for the rest of my detritivores. here's one for anne folderol, truly folderol, and a few for the others i could save from low grade lowlifes. here's one for lisa noble, two years older. and at last, one for candice coyle, out of reach. i'll keep the box.

For Gertrude Stein that vast land a wanderer's dream to wonder to ponder in awe a~mazed like spiderwebs lineages of pearls falling cascading a land of invisble boundries boudaries unlimited ideas limitless exploring branching like a woman's thoughts tree branches no time no space the melting of Dali's clocks a land of no beginnings no middle endless images endless like the vortex spiraling inward downward voidless

Searching I always thought the iPhone the most human of devices. I named mine George. Like an overeager child George buzzes when engaged. Spent, he recharges to the sixty second cycle of a resting heart. Last night in a hotel bar, an accidental altercation with a roughhousing stein of Great Lakes Lager, ruined the inner George. Now, when shaken, George rattles. No longer able to connect, the heart-rending message “searching,” parades across his shattered screen. How human that yearning for connectedness?

Parisian Night
She was always the other woman, flowers in her hair, cascading down her back freckles covering, porcelain skin, cupids bow, painted dark red, hair strawberry blonde vintage fashion of Henry a la Pensée, envelope chemise, peignoir, blue iris mink fur shoulders forward, rain splintering, bare legs, André Perugia shoe, one lost amidst the cobbles favourite novel in arm, to read, as she contemplates her choice, Gertrude Stein; Fernhurst oh how can one author write ones heart so articulately she thought so pensively, the other women spring blossom blown away as a puff of pink smoke, a thief in the night, racing past the library the winding stair case, the oh so fabulous and opulent parties, laughter and cocktails the tower in sight, a beating of an empty heart, lovers lost, a baby once nurtured taken, those back street black market abortion clinics, she'd never recovered she shivered, the time was now, black streaks of mascara, tragedy, loss, pain the tower was in reach, she gazed upwards, it was near to midnight, perfect, she thought, the exact time she lost her sister off this same tower, both plunging to their deaths, love broken, hearts kidnapped nowhere in sight the game was about to begin, her happiness quashed, every hour, the motions run dreaming of the afterlife, sedated by drink, she waited it out, effortlessly thinking, what now, with a kick of the last shoe, a stumble to the edge, she fell, like a graced angel in flight devoured by the night. © Sia Jane -- “I too am convinced that life is dark, and at the same time I love life.” Simone de Beauvoir

Surprisingly enough, this little vile of some horrible stuff called "Pink-Pink" is actually rather musky. And to think, after three months and then two more, I would get six checks. Micky Mantle captivated the nation, and Lars Montannaro is captivating this town. All the while Michael Moore is killing God and God is killing us. One must ask oneself, did God create me, or did I create God? Is God within me, or am I God myself? Throughout John Carpenter's life many questions plagued him, most remained unanswered, few allowed him to live and one killed him. He lies dying, gasping for air, with nothing but Steinbeck and brandy to bid him farewell. On a bed without sheets, in a motel without a kitchen, in a town without a theater, in a state without a king, in a land without hope, God lays dying. With nothing but the prayers of Mary Stein to bid him goodnight, he prays himself. Every man is a believer in the foxhole, just as he is a saint. Praying and praying, the fire rallies around a man, his emancipated guts lay spewing blood in the dirt. Without a clear objective man is nothing. Nothing is everything, and everything is unexplainable just as nothing can be explained. The Dark sings a song it believes to be beautiful, and the Light finds it discouraging to it's attempts of what it believes to be beautiful. So the Light chases away the Dark and the Wanderers wonder where it went. Wandering this world, they try and try and try to find it. They are looking in the wrong world. The man with a gun runs to the store and back and back and back again. The willows whisper a tune for their god that the oaks find blasphemous. The oaks chant louder and louder so as to please their god. Life goes on and life goes on and life goes on and then it doesn't. Then suddenly it  begins in a thousand more forms and in a thousand more lungs it breathes. Life will continue to exalt God and God will continue allowing life to breathe. For as long as there is air, breathes shall be taken.

When I close my eyes, I can picture myself being **** I wrote down my ideas on my naked body not the perfect curves, for an outstanding silhouette? but my body, my canvas, I created this literary masterpiece: a little something for you and a little something for me, I scribble a stanza or two on my chest, and I watch as my body heat melt the words away without allowing a poem to be created My ****** tattoos open up like rose from the poem Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose one from Gertrude Stein famous line. Outline my words with admiration, until my mind accept the connection My body, my canvas, my visionary centerpiece, my satisfaction, Like sand through an hour glass, I have created this body of poetry.

****
Yesterday, a professor With his tie tied too tight, Said that Stein has eclipsed Pound, Eliot, Stevens and Williams As the greatest poet in the 20th Century and my head nearly imploded.

On Gertrude Stein
*It's 7:00 in the morning and the breeze is cold. I let my feet walk into my little kitchens abode. To boil some water from my cute little pan, for my small kettle was broken and no more fun. Prepping my stein for my early morning grind, I call it coffbit's (Hobbit's Coffee) time in my old but cozy and  lovely shire. Some like it with sugar, toffee, mocha or milk, but still I'd prefer it brewed cause it's classic and pretty bare. Sipping it while sitting in front of my fireplace, to start my day with full of goodness grace. Coffbit seems a little bit odd and prime, but I wouldn't call it a day without my hobbit's time.*
