as poetic
as a pylon – a bollard
so bullish with bright and dull
– stalking stillborn sounds on city streets -
[wayward hips and clicking heels and so much palaver]

I found this image of peace the other day, and I wanted to share it. I enjoy video games and zombies movies but that is where my relationship with firearms ends.
The image reminded me of a leftover one-liner that I jotted down in a notebook back after watching Bowling for Columbine.
I could never seem to fit it in anywhere else and it seemed good enough on its own so I made a backdrop for it. I would wear it on a T-shirt.
One day while driving to Cleveland, Ohio to get White Castle…the radio dial slipped and fell onto a Conversative radio program. The first line that was spat live out of the announcer’s mouth was: “Diversity is Perversity.” Being a minority, I never felt so horrified in my life…
I listened to the broadcast for a few more minutes; calls from gun enthusiasts who were going to take it upon themselves to change the system. Change the system, huh? That’s when I looked into it a little more closely. Read the rest of this entry »
Remix Poetry is a type of game I used to play in University. Basically, classmates would give me lyrics from any three songs (any genre) and I would take three lines from each song and remix them into a new poem. The only trick was that I was allowed to add three lines of my own to work as glue.
So, I figured I might as well play the game with everyone and share the results; including full photoshop treatment. Maybe even a T-Shirt eventually. The point is it keeps me writing and you reading. That’s a win-win.
Due to time constraints, it might take me a while to publish the poems (I’m thinking two weeks) but if you donate…I’ll work on it right away. Send me the song titles and artsits name via the contact page or in the comments. If the lyrics are hard to find, then paste them into the message. You can also add your own rules in your message, I’ll do my best to work within them.
