‘I am…’ 'Or am I’? Who can say? ‘A posteriori’ leads the way For the extra and the ordinary Axiomatic sway, In the gravity of corollary, ‘A priori’ interplay Ataraxic overlay of anxious automation, As the innocence of dissonance delay. Practicing semantic contemplation, In willfully prevenient interpolation, Civilly disobedient in expediently seeming disarray, Forecasts in vague extrapolation Contrasts the millennial contagion Already underway, Filling nihilistic voids with particles in waves, To interpret dreams of Freud to free Oedipus’s slaves, A degreeless scholastic who never misbehaves, Simulated humanoid dramatic in the affect that he craves, Inflating linguistics in acrobatic raves, A thespian who plans conation with legacy engraves. The probabilistic determiner of cosmogenous debates, An apperceived inquirer of qualitative states, Inspiring proprietor of dismality abates. Challenging aporia as epistemic oscillates, Stoically, heroically, ‘one’ who amalgamates, Circling the infinite in hermeneutic calibrates. An escaped prisoner from depressive disillusion, Of an introspective extrovert who finds solace in confusion, The personable recluse fighting an illusion Breaking down the nuances of every institution. Calculating consequence as time goes to infinity Revolutionary commonsense of principal utility, An opinionated adversary, to the realist without evidence, Theorizing in futility, Stipulating every sense leading to the virility of the pretense that dominates community. Divergently converging all the efforts we’ve personified, Inadvertently submerging old traditions that unethically were codified, Hastening the urgency for purging that which cannot be modified through the merging of the certainty that will no longer coincide, Stationing the levies to finally stem the tide, Of periodic enmities disguised to be necessities so blatantly deified. Observing moral sentiments, perched upon eternity, As consequential regiments are expounded universally, To unstratify the residents indiscriminately And identify quantum elements spiritualistically, Changing collective behavior individually, Socializing constructs in joint ventured logo therapy.

Loons in the vineyard –  sound the alarm ! Satan is milking his metaphors. Such silly music portends no harm; call home the cows and open your doors. Brian Hugh Warner, a paleface freak after finding his mom’s mascara darker enlightenment did seek and crowned himself with Baal’s tiara. Scary drag-queen, scandalous, vain Marilyn – the creepy thespian rolled that fish-eye and snorted ******* like Crowley…  how pedestrian. Flashing his glowing cataract, he gave the mommies quite a fright. Censorship launched; no badder act did sail (or assail) our sinking night. Gothic dim-wits purchased CD’s bought the goods, pierced parts, wore black. (Cause for certain parents’ unease: MTV’s Antichrist on the attack). Son of Man – or rather, Manson Milked to the max his demonic cow; playing Satan’s naughty grandson showing the flustered milk-maids how. Urban legend surrounds this fowl (those ribs removed – like Adam’s sin!) Is he a misunderstood night owl – or a has-been loon in a loony bin? Rock-stars age (well, most) like a cheap wine. or else in the way once-ripened grapes withering, sun-struck, off the vine transform, with age, into wizened shapes. No – I am wrong. They age like prunes; plums thus pass into their glory. Even Luciferian loons find lakes of fire at end of story.

Marilyn WHO ?
I don’t want to cut myself open on a stage, Make my blood curdle on command. Applaud me, will you? This idea of sisterhood, this union At the end of the play One lives, one dies, and one has the glory of letting the curtain fall down Down on the story Performed to move people. I’m not a performer, Not a thespian, actress or Janus, I have the one face and that’s all I’ve got, Like it or not. My clothes are not a costume, There’s no cue for me That tells when to go on. I speak now, with lines rehearsed To keep playing the fool The one no-one listens to. Do you like me? Do you like me? Do you like me? Please applaud. I am not an act, waiting for an audience. I do not respond to applause, There’s no curtain call, No stage light in my place That tells me where to fall. I can’t keep playing Can’t keep pretending I’m the one who decides to walk out On all of this, now. It’s the final call, that one last bow And thus ends the show, See you next week, with all your friends in tow. A standing ovation, A brief revelation I don’t want this, quick, Act like it’s all part of it, Stumbling’s funny, err on the side of performance, Don’t reveal the truth, don’t bleed on the stage floor, It’s all fake. All pretend, I’m no actor, but I perform every minute of the day. I’m not sure my heart’s real.

*Reflections of Paris this morning , for all the inhabitants of the world , especially those inspired by beautiful works of art and architecture  ! Those fortunate enough to have dined in world class eateries on cuisine prepared by Master Chefs , marveled over the downtown skyline high atop prominent monuments ! Impassioned lovers perusing her avenues , window shopping store fronts , boutiques along famous boulevards ! Senior couples recalling their yesteryears with great joy , frolicking , happy children playing in parklands , feeding songbirds with euphoria and curiosity , strolling walkways along the riverbank at Dusk with great wonderment and personal reflection The poet and poetess , musician and thespian , ballet dancer and street performer .. To lovers young and old , the continued hope of gaiety and splendor at every turn ! She is lovely indeed , the Queen of all that is beautiful on this Earth* ..

Paris
It isn’t what it seems, life isn’t but a dream. A porous umbrella, a selfish Cinderella, A deafening silence, an unfaithful alliance, An inaudible roar, a dry liquor store, A tell-all magician, a tell-all politician, A stuttering thespian, a boy-crazy lesbian, A sober alcoholic, a glad melancholic, A deflated balloon, a dried-up lagoon, A real-life oasis, a movable stasis, A saddened hyena, a fat ballerina, A one-item list, a sixty-pound mist, An illiterate writer, a cowardly fighter, A concrete bed pillow, a smiling willow, A ****** librarian, a caring barbarian, A fresh-water ocean, and a straying devotion.

It isn't what it seems
The louche magniloquent maladroit  malaise of the dense mayonnaise mouth of  political palaver and longueur left me with that sad sinking feeling of believing there is nothing left to live for. Lugubriousness aside, I was nevertheless momentarily nonplussed until I recalled that a bona fide thespian was once president. And to my dismay I remembered to say: nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind.

Trump Up Hope
Come ask me questions of thoughts I’ve forgotten and send me dreaming to a distant road where music is free and tired feet don’t stop dancing when the tap is dry Moon heron blue tide Wandering naked lonely Covered in feathers faster bird flew Where long haired brother smoking soothing sadhu can sit at leisure or stand or lay (or be lain!) Lovers fall off the train Drinking wines on Summer strut Trough graveyards old tombstones White women in dresses With cotton torn old sole rubbed closet rug Shoe stains got gritty in dusty old trunk Her wig bleach bald eyes lacking interest Tired old neck feels like a head on a stool Thespian laughter grouped in the attic They animate slowly in the shape of ‘you’ Ghosts get me closer on hot summer drives Up North to see dams and **** forest rivers In dark we then travel with Kings of old tidings and Queens who lay buried the lamppost their bed Laying so gently the Bishop wife Medley The grass that laid bare of yesterday’s supper The lamppost we take a notion of tender Still a safe haven so deep in my heart The sunset of splendour the primary sunrise they howl their jowls Hysterical laughter

Calithumpians on Nightly Voyage (Thespian Laughter)
then I tried the stage me an actor, the thespian   (Shakespearean, Greek tragedian you know) "Man and the arms I sing" - like that - and so the director told me I'd come on stage left, a dramatic moment amidst full sound effects (and full house, of course) and I would proclaim: *"O ye Gods, and O ye elements and O ye thunder - rage on, rage on for I fear not"* and I so galloped on stage amidst full sound effects (and full house, of course) but I was confused by the sudden and raging thunder above my head and I proclaimed instead: *"What the **** was that?"* *And so ended my stage career as it began with a bang*

a career on stage
A thespian In a play A strong man But not strong today Leading girl gone away One act One scene One line to say His kōan "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Silence. Pretty girl Gamine thin Her Ribs Bent staves Round a coopers bin And at the clubs She picks up men Who leave her When they’ve Had their fill. And still It’s courtly love she seeks A treasure trove That is for keeps. Her kōan "The moon cannot be stolen." But maybe if she seduces it… It will be hers. She’s middle aged There’s not much left Her ******* aren’t firm She’s barrel shaped She watches soaps And talks with friends And fights the fear That if it ends... She hasn’t amounted to Much at all She could have been more If she just had the time Her kōan "What are you doing?" Nothing.

Vaudeville
In the midweek of twelves months I torched blunts and choked on wet smoke and chamomile tea. Fretting the niggling giblets of a queasy disrememberance of a sober stroll through your tossed hair salad. I managed to mangle  the marvelous gross lust of our impending delirium. i farmed bok choy to annoy our local siege. our muskets were polished with misdeeds. our demons barked, all coy and ravenous in the sweet diffuse of our useless aplomb. ginger rockets in our thespian numb. you Dis-Oriental surrogate Mom. You.... flame folding cranes, like a Japanese cancer with opposable thumbs. Unstoppable in the dead wink of an awkward eye upon your heaving ******* You burn regardless.

pretentious poet
Take a long drive to see the theater production called "Your Life" in front of me. I take it in letting my imagination float and get wrapped in the reality of you and me. The plot will thicken and the suspense grows the desire will bring the ****** then resolution. But by the time it leads to the final scene, I'm upset, as there is no happy ending, just confusion. So now I leave the stage with disapproval and hurt thinking how I just wasted my time. Unwilling to accept the fate of this show I wish to re-write it with my own rhyme. Spending hours upon hours pondering new ideas of how to end this show perfectly Rejecting every possible outcome I write trying to elude the feeling of misery. However, I can't give up or stop trying this play must not go sulky. I must keep on making endings to complete the thespian in me.

Thespian
Something terrible has happened to the entire world, we've lost Christopher Lee. He was Count Dracula and he was also Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He starred as Francisco Scaramanga in a James Bond film and as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man. He believed that his greatest performance was as Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of modern Pakistan. He starred in two Star Wars movies as Count Dooku. He was a talented actor, a singer and an author too. Sadly, this fantastic thespian has died at the age of ninety-three. People are shedding tears as we say goodbye to Christopher Lee.

Christopher Lee
As the exhaust spewed its mourning glum onto the whimpering porcelain snow, the chauffeur looked up and desperately prayed for an Academy Award winner. "Novelty tears shall spout at all times!" And the thespian will charge through those double doors, beginning his craft from the moment he hears the ***** ***** singing the deceased's pleas towards the golden gate of Heaven and crunching through an audience of bawling admirers of a man he barely knew. He was chosen to give the eulogy. Designated to speak on the behalf of man he never thought to glance at twice, besides the intervals of days spent despising the realization of his existence, resenting the scars created in surplus quantities, stomping down the darkest layers still oozing from the coffin. For a handful of hours, it must all become a waning spark for the method actor giving the most crowd-pleasing breakdown of his life, delivering a perfectly tailored recital cloaked to all the front-pew viewers as a heartfelt elegy. "Just a few hours," he thought as the double doors creaked, and the scene will end with him sliding into his car, a dead weight off his shoulders, driving victoriously into the sunset. A new set of tears rolled with the end credits, along the face of the son, liquidating the thespian with their bleak sincerity. They were drops of remorse for a bond that was never born, with an abortion in a wood encasing for all those people out there in the dark.

strange to be surrounded by the heroism of the careful edit of Thespians, who can wage win or lose wars with a careful edit and the use of steroids to show the hardship of our former life now made easier - being surrounded by the staged heroism of careful edit, Thespian expression breeds in all a dissatisfaction with menial labours we could be better off to encourage as a non-victimising share of labour, and yet among such numbers of fellows we find our labours too menial, robbing us of the comfort of being as one among so many, only because we're being fed fake courage of Thespians and the subsequent fake adventures of the same profession, to only turn askance into the world and instead of adventure only seeing prospects of tourism, and former hardships of our forefathers as only menial banality. recitation of religous mantras seem all the more important with the blocked toilet of darwin's **** keeping the foremost populist adhesive among people reciting no other scientific theories - like that one about a pea-sized dollop of toothpaste and any more actually causing nicotine colouring on your teeth - dentists                  &                  money &                             each             other trade (tried and tested, agreeable paradox). well currently darwin and einstein are instructing societies in terms of respectable talk, talk so respectable that no counter opinion can enter, because too few scientific facts are given mantra status... cite me a theory from chemistry, cite me at least one thing about thermodynamics... exactly, you can't! we might as well endear a harking laugh of a fox and the howling bark of dog - because the western dogma mantra is so limited - maxims replace poems and poems are hid whether under the debasing blanket of lyrics that are simple due to excess instrumentation and no hope of singing in duo presence of both singer and the one expecting song - or under blankets of fictive corpses of bored readers - as once noted and spotted: a funeral service corporate "shop" and in it too st. francis' hospice selling charity books. should shiva's attainment of vishnu's peace of mind be attained and subsequently lost, shiva's third eye opens and turns the mind toward the only subsequent definition of former attainment of peace, the third eye opens and turns to warring and destruction; toward the east, Asia's Thespians are known as Avatars - if not thieving from men, then at least enriching gods.

"I don't act this way to change the world. I act this way so that the world won't change me."-- Patricia Charbonneau in 'Desert Hearts' Singing Dancing Trying Crying as The Act is but an act. Intangible at that. She may be silent, but She is strident in action. Later, She is given a voice. But, The Lady thespian, assaulted by The Gaze, is subjected as the objected by the subjected and the objected. Greta Garbo dominates the Pre-Codes. Betty Davis hesitates but follows the new ones. Miss Monroe, the ideal *** erases Her history, creating a new toxic one: "Look and touch as you please, Mr. President." Singing Dancing Trying Crying "Blame the woman for everything" say 'Ordinary People' and the Academy salutes you. Look Lady, shoot to 'Kill Bill' for a manly thrill to be remembered still... Still waiting for change... Legally, a Blonde has brains, too. But who knew that twists and turns and changes can happen to you? All from Her: Singing Dancing Trying Crying on the big screen. You just can't touch Her.

'A Short History of The Woman On-Screen'
I purchased a ticket to your matinée. You sold me on the storyline. *Boy likes girl, girl likes boy, live happily ever after.* Everyone loves a happy ending. Here I am, front row and center, popcorn in hand; clueless as to why I am alone. In this dark, cold, empty place, I am alone. Nonetheless, here for you. The curtain rises, it's your time to shine. It's just like you said, *boy likes girl, girl likes boy.* There are no two hearts more in unison, though it seems something unsettles his mind. Thoughts of her lying, Thoughts of her cheating, Thoughts of her leaving, bestow tragedy. I am waiting. Where is the happy ending? I am here waiting to watch you love, to watch you hold, to watch you unite. I throw popcorn at your deceit, at your paranoia, at your hysteria. You ripped me off. I now know why I am alone. In this dark, cold, empty place, I am alone.

the Thespian
So, a big fat poet who is a friend of mine, and who likes to wax poetically, came to me in a dream, and he said, "Enough of this simplistic stuff... give me some complexity... something modern... something more like mine" so I went upstairs and wrote a poem about coffee where I artistically expounded in great detail and exageration about the matter of making coffee, and when I was done I thought, "Eh...it's like my old style... no wonder I changed" so, enough of the Great Bards who talked in the accent of a Grand Thespian with his voice like William Shatner, it's back to being simple like me.

A Fat Poet
I looked at the beggarman Wrapped in a bundle Of cardboard, rags and dirt, With a royal smirk on his face As his eyes pierced mine For the second or less It took to wander by His space of rest, His makeshift nest Of cardboard, rags and dirt... Today he laid On his side, Knees slightly bent, A blue Bic gripped loosely In his right fist, Notepad white In his right... What does a beggarman write From his sanctuary Of cardboard, rags and dirt, I wondered? Could it be a sign, A plea for a penny Or a piece of bread? Or was the beggarman A thespian well-read With a tale or two Trapped in his troubled head.... As he was, In his bastille Of cardboard, rags and dirt... A Danielle Steele Undiscovered.... An Amiri Baraka Reborn... A literary genius trapped In a bundle Of cardboard, rags and dirt With a royal smirk on his face. ~ P (#TheBeggarman) 2/28/2014

The Beggarman
Is it naive to hope or dream, To dream of hope, or hope to dream? Some say it is naive to ask a question. A question forged by a dream with hope of success. Upon the topic familiar to the thespian. A dream of which you hope would be redeemed. For when you ask you believe it your task. When you puck up some courage, its not what it seems. To ask the question in the dream once had. Although the answer you receive may or may not be. Be as you believe in the dream. The reply comes but not as a beam of warmth and ecstasy. But a beam of darkness and regret. So, the hope is gone, the dream is shattered. With you now standing still and tattered, With memories. Memories of the dream now shattered. And all the while your heart now battered. Your outlook is now bleak With you now feeling weak. Again you repose the question with hope that. That the dream once had could be more than a dream. It’s 50/50, yes or no, However. We all know the results reside in the latter. With more planning given to the former. Due to the hope in a dream now lost. You stand there now alone and cold with nothing. Nothing but the ensuing darkness closing in. Falling now as though of lead. You try to stumble off to bed, You weep a silent tear, Among a wash of despair and fear. That all will be lost and propped-up for the entire world to laugh and sneer. And shout “fool!” For they knew the aforementioned dreams were that of pipes. And you are certain that they will poke and snipe. To derive their own sadist torment for the woe that drags you off to bed. You lie there now weeping Sobbing and not yet sleeping. With dreams of dreams, And hopes of dreams. And the hope to dream of her again.

The moon casts an ominous shadow overhead, as if the sun's lightbulb had gone dead. The hairs on my neck stand on end, something dreadful is around the bend. I don't know what i'll find there, there isn't any thime to prepare. All that lie here lie dead, some stabbed, some shot in the head. The engraved marble shines with threatening air, something tells me i'm in for a scare. A flash of steel announces the precense of his quarry, this is where I begin to worry. He starts to circle me menacingly, that solomn steel blade is all I see. The corners of his mouth turn up to see the prominate fear inside me. He crouches and bows his head, it's all to clear he wants me dead. The bite of his blade is all too real, the wound he just made will not heal. My heartbeat significantly slows down, as I bleed I fall to the cold hard ground. As my vison goes I begin to see, this thespian was always after me.

I'm an actress Everyday I put on my mask and go out in the world I act like I don't care Like I'm fine Like it doesn't really bother me Like every single couple doesn't get in my head Like it doesn't hurt me to say your name On stage, I'm not as good My "real" emotions don't come across as well I can't cover up the mask I wear everyday with another one A fake one I'm artificial enough as it it I'm superficial I don't let people in They know as much as I want them to and no more People will never understand I'm a world class thespian But no one knows

All I've ever had in my possession were bones. The framework of a biological nuisance, something empty on the inside, though full of what any of us may call life. At the least, the semblance of which we can be convinced: parading a corpse across the bridge, most talented thespian in space; and medicine, the hobby you picked up so you could learn to ignore death. You are too old, now, to foolishly believe you can outrun death, the inevitable silence that haunts your dreams and soaks through your bones. You breathe in too quickly, too aware of the emotional cavity, of the space between your thoughts and your actions. Your words have always been empty, a reminder of the very symbol of your own faith, though you aren't convinced that you, yourself, can ever measure up to that vivacity that floods his life. Repeat that in your mind, over and over; that the anomalies in this life can be proven as effects of the reckless and the brave, that their death is ultimately yours to cause or to save. So, of your own importance, you are convinced, and you know you are the best, always have been -- always, Bones. So don't waste your energy on the thought that all of his promises are empty and trust, instead, that this lunatic, this love, will survive all of space. There's nowhere for you to escape this bitterness; indeed, no space for you to claim as your own, your sanctuary. No chance of a separate life when you've had all you can stomach of this insanity, this empty endless game you've boxed yourself up in, until you surrender yourself to death, to the simple cessation of your repetitive motions -- but, no, Bones; he will never stop. His life will continue, his body and soul immortal -- of this, you are convinced. No, he'll keep on going, as perilously as before; of his invincibility, you are convinced, but you, yourself are, as ever, determined to follow his failures through space, to diligently spout your expletives and condemnations and advice; you are now, as then, his bones, and you never forgot that. Just as he never forgot who takes credit for his life, his bones, his common sense --- you alone have, time and time again, forced death to hang its weary head and return and yet, his own promises are empty. You've learned to scoff at his vows of safety; his idiocy, you could handle. Still, empty, too, were his promises of faith. His loyalty, he proved, but you stay thoroughly convinced that alone would he remain, had you considered your logic. Somehow still, like death, the logic was an inevitability, and you learned to detest one trait in all of space. You can see his faith fading as it goes, as logic proves itself a thief of your life, and you lament the truest fact of all -- no longer could you be his bones. And so I've managed to pull my empty shell together, as he never could, for in space nowhere can I hide from the death of my ethos; yes, in space alone I dedicate my life. And I am, as he was convinced, an honest man. I end as I begin -- with all I've ever had: Bones.

The Real McCoy
All I've ever had in my possession were bones. The framework of a biological nuisance, something empty on the inside, though full of what any of us may call life. At the least, the semblance of which we can be convinced: parading a corpse across the bridge, most talented thespian in space; and medicine, the hobby you picked up so you could learn to ignore death. You are too old, now, to foolishly believe you can outrun death, the inevitable silence that haunts your dreams and soaks through your bones. You breathe in too quickly, too aware of the emotional cavity, of the space between your thoughts and your actions. Your words have always been empty, a reminder of the very symbol of your own faith, though you aren't convinced that you, yourself, can ever measure up to that vivacity that floods his life. Repeat that in your mind, over and over; that the anomalies in this life can be proven as effects of the reckless and the brave, that their death is ultimately yours to cause or to save. So, of your own importance, you are convinced, and you know you are the best, always have been -- always, Bones. So don't waste your energy on the thought that all of his promises are empty and trust, instead, that this lunatic, this love, will survive all of space. There's nowhere for you to escape this bitterness; indeed, no space for you to claim as your own, your sanctuary.
