A) Sometime
Somewhere
Someone
.... (written by me on the guest log in Spartacus Books' public bathroom)
B) I am perceiving people perceiving people
and all at once, a bird flies overhead!
C) HYPER PIANO BOUNCES FROM THE SPRINGTIME PAVEMENT!! condominium instruments reach out like satellites to the soul for any who'll listen to it's song of a time before
D) Where I witnessed my own dejection, wandering in nightly streets cement-eyed and forlorn, I sought to escape this Western cavalcade with a solitary year in Vietnam which didn't become anything more than an idea, but this was pushed under the rug for India (which is still on my mind!) which was then replaced by the thought of living in Bathurst, NSW, AUS (I'll get to why in a poem or other format of writing in times to come) I have named the place I once saw thru a vivid dream or a crystal ball which to some may mean the same thing
E) "DUCK! AND COVER!" we've all seen that cold war propaganda film with the turtle, seems so ridiculous now, wouldn't have worked anyways
F) Kripaya ek glass paani dijye (this means "please, give me a glass of water" in Hindi, which could be a valuable sentence to know considering India can get very hot, but when you remember how unhealthy their ((at least unfiltered)) water is, I may never use this)
G) I don't know which is crazier, those who feigned insanity to avoid war, or war itself
H) George Foreman named all his kids George Foreman (what a ******* egomaniac) I would grill him on that if I ever met him because seriously what a weird decision, how their mother was okay with that is beyond my understanding.
I) Here comes July, with it's sweating mobs and many humid funerals
J) Poetic visual aestheticism (in terms of the actual layout line to line)
As one line
drops into
another line and
keeps dropping.
(determined by what Ginsberg called Mind Breaths, given to phrase being written, drop line to add emphasis to words of higher importance or topic phrases, as to almost introduce them in a way not blended with the previous line)
I) O! birds, who are up at the early hours of the morning, I am beyond glad/grateful that I can hear your hymns before everyone else has woken up
J) I think Vonnegut had something unique going on in Breakfast of Champions, especially that bit with the illustrated ******* that looked more like an asterisk
K) The trees outside are green again..
The Windex bottle above the toilet is green,
My sheets are green,
This color I associate with the word "APRIL" is green
There's a faint glimpse of green in my eyes,
And a hint of green in the garden nearby,
A lot of green in this poem (?) which may not be considered a poem but ******* if you happened to think that!
Lastly, for now, I'm no longer feeling blue, and I guess that's a little green, too.
L) is for LOSER
M) ..did Joe Brainard just write a Colgate advertisement in the middle of his work? What is this I didn't pay for commercials..I don't WANT advertising present in my books! I see them everywhere else!
ah...
O) is for open mouth
P) Spontaneous prose acting as an honest/direct look into the meditated (or pure) form state of thought of that who wrote the prose. The book itself being a literal time capsule for a moment of consciousness who's creator may now be deceased.
Also
those who have their thoughts, images, ideas in their head > transferred to U who is now sharing those images but in a subjective way, seeing the settings or characters differently > person then writes their OWN ideas inspired from the previous writers = collaborative consciousness (also a form of time travel)
Q) is for questioning the rigidity of the political structures around you and the flaws it presents for the working class
R) is for RSVPing yes at the wedding between your hypothetical best friend now with the person you've been in love with for years. Slowly it kills you inside, this point of no return, something out of a grand and tragic love story (which isn't a love story because the love was not between you and that person but rather your hypothetical best friend) ****! you slam your fist to the table or the wall and it's all hopeless. But then comes the acceptance of the situation, moving on from it the best you can even if it presents itself as a shadow from this point on. If you've ever been thru something like this I deeply apologize as the cruelty of the world is indecisive, I for one haven't, but I am only turning 20 this year, which would also explain why I made this whole scenario mentioned above hypothetical
S) is for SHHH!
T) is for the constant presence of televisions in today's homes
U) is for UNIVERSE
V) is for...
W) is for upside-down M
X) is for xeroxing you slowly rolling up your ******* and mailing the series of pages to your ex (if you're an *******, which people also xerox maybe)
Y) is for why and also where when what who and how
Z) is for ZZZZZZZzzzz
zzzzz
zzzz
