"usc" poems
And I really do mean men. And mostly white men. I learned that at Columbia film school In LA, at USC, all those male filmmakers were somewhat suspect What they made, could not often be called "art" but even worse they tended to extreme geekines They wore ***** athletic shoes everywhere and spent long hours on sets in t-shirts, wearing caps with the name of their film on them and not smelling particularly fresh They were not particularly athletic in a city that sport "muscle beach." But here, they were MEN. They could hold their own in any test of masculinity as art is a serious undertaking, and requires great powers of the intellect And here, where most life is spent indoors, the men dressed well, in proper leather shoes that had names, and followed the fashion of the bohemian moment which was not considered bad, maybe because you need clothes so much there You are always freezing or sweltering and sweating. You freeze outside in winter and you sweat when you come indoors. In the summer you boil outside in hot and air conditioned New York, like you are in purgatory, and then freeze again in the air conditioning To have that artistic authority, no woman can come close It isn't a woman's world, at least in the early nineties in New York, it wasn't Such a dissapointment for me since I thought I could somehow slip through by sheer cleverness It's like a black person hoping to be identified as white. It can't be done. There was a place for me, like no matter where I hid in a cinematography class in the front, middle or back I always became the woman who is photographed to demonstrate lighting "You learn the most up here" said Beta Badka, in a thick Ukrainian accent as he set me on a stool But that's not where I wanted to be I longed to be taken seriously, telling stories about women, about girls and having them be respected with that same cache that came with stories of men

In New York, Art is Serious Work for Men

A series of motions Oh you know I'm just going Through the motions I eat, and work out And walk around In Parks And down random streets And what a beautiful Black and white cat I saw today I saw it cross the street And sit on the lawn And I saw the children With suburban moms At the park Their children Have futures As debt slaves And that's no future At all And they'll just keep Pumping out kids 3 or 4 to a family You know That's really not A good idea... Don't you get it? They don't have A future here In this country And as I drove I saw her licensed plate That read Alumni From USC Why should anyone care Where you went to college? And the computer Is such a good friend Is it your friend too? I read articles And listen to Documentaries On youtube Because I am always Alone Who knew that the computer Would replace people For the young American? Soo isolated I am And there is a stigma With loneliness Well, I'm lonely And I ain't ashamed To say it
