Apparition Poem #1176 (ATNG)

#1176

Your gut tells you when
something’s wrong— here
I am at war in darkness—
no moss over me, no
camouflage— I lean forward—
but oh the degenerate trenches,
so very boring, passion kept
to a minimum, fires aglow
never, and my guts fear
the soulless twerps, jealous
that I might be brought low
by some version of cripple’s
wisdom— Conshohocken—

...something else...

More from the wall format files: Dawn Gailey's pic of me in the Last Drop in 2008; Kelly McCabe's Ad-Shot in State College in '94; Amy King's of me reading in Brooklyn '07; and two anonymous portraits of Abs, in white and close-up.

The Wall Format Saga Continues...

New and wall-formatted on Internet Archive: a flier advertising my '02 spoken word opus Raw Rainy Fog; Mary Harju on Saint Catherine Street, Montreal; and in the Montreal Botanical Gardens; and another intimate close-up of Abs.

Couture anticipating Abs???

More Wall Format(s)

More wall formatted Internet Archive "prints": Molly's Books facade in South Philly, Jeremy's portrait of Mr. Land reading at Molly's, Abs in 2010, and a cool Pop riff on one of Jeremy's best fliers.

#1208

You bed down in a sty,

squeeze out your mind

like a rag, catch water

(usually greasy) in tins,

mix them up (murkiness

is not undesired), add an

edge of cyanide (or gin),

yet you know all the time

none of this will do much

good, or anything at all,

most of it is destined as

bricks in no wall, thus

does the blood spill, but

when you heal, how you

grab the sun & moon places

you where chemicals beg

your brain for admittance—
