The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 11/13/07 |

"american sonnet"
rejection can kill you.
it can force you to park outside neon-lit liquor stores and finger the steel of your contemplation. It can even make you rob yourself.
(when does the veteran of one war fail to appreciate the vet of another?)
the ragged scarecrow lusts in the midst of a fallow field.
and the lover who prances in circles envies me my moves/has designs on my gizzard/ kicks shit.
this is the city we've come to all the lights are red all the poets are dead and there are no norths.

and sounding out his soulless explanations one by one I wondered what I was doing where I was walking and why I listen to soulless, burnt out excuses for yesterdays misunderstandings that are now 30% off and I looked at the salesman with eyes to be described only as vacant 70% of me paid no attention
You live somewhere far away from where my heart resides I'll see you in the classifieds mr salesman
...but, it does sound like a really good deal.......

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day So satisfied I'm on my way. I've seen all good people turn their heads each day So satisfied I'm on my way.
Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life. Make the white queen run so fast She hasn't got time to make you a wife.
cause its time, its time in time With your time and its news is captured For the queen to use. Move me on to any black square, Use me any time you want, Just remember that the gold is for us to capture all we want, anywhere, Yea, yea, yea.
Don't surround yourself with yourself, Move on back two squares, Send an instant karma to me, Initial it with loving care Don't surround Yourself.
cause its time, its time in time With your time and its news is captured For the queen to use. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit dont surround Didda. - yourself with yourself. Don't surround yourself with yourself, don't surround yourself. Move on back two squares, Send an instant karma to me, send an instant Initial it with loving care karma to me. don't surround yourself.
cause its time, its time in time With your time and its news is captured For the queen to use. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda. Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
cause its time, its time in time With your time and its news is captured.
Ii. all good people
Ive seen all good people turn their heads Each day so satisfied I'm on my way. Yea, yea. Ive seen all good people turn their heads Each day so satisfied I'm on my way.

Saw 'em live in '75 with another band called Gentle Giant. Amazing show, and I didn't even like Yes, I was a Ramones fan.
