“Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple,
is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn’t.”

Raised by a redneck
Certified dirt poor
My dad spit in my face
cursed the day I was born
That’s the day I let
My dear dad down
That’s the day I let
My dear mom down
Rode to hell, my mother’s dead son
Talk bout a bastard He was number one
Mainline bullet shot that son of a Gun
Put an end to, all nite fun
As a kid, caught stealing
At the Five and Dime
Ahead a dead..end
Life of crime
That’s the day
I let my home town down
That’s the day
I let my home state down
Joined the army back in ‘99
Just because I’m the killin’ kind
My strict orders
to lose my mind
That’s the day
I let my country down
That’s the day
I let this free world down
Build me a bomb
I’ll start the third world war
Stop your prayin’
your hope is a whore
That’s the day
I let my dear God down
That’s the day
I let my dear God down

Oil Painting by e e cummings
i go to this window
just as day dissolves
when it is twilight(and
looking up in fear
i see the new moon
thinner than a hair)
making me feel
how myself has been coarse and dull
compared with you, silently who are
and cling
to my mind always
But now she sharpens and becomes crisper
until i smile with knowing
-and all about
herself
the sprouting largest final air
plunges
inward with hurled
downward thousands of enormous dreams
(In Paris Cummings met the poets Ezra Pound, Hart Crane, and Archibald MacLeish. His friends also included the philosopher A.J. Ayer, who had a short affair with his wife, Marion Morehouse. She was twelve years Cummings’s junior, a former Ziegfield showgirl and one of the leading models of the age. Cummings’s friendship with Ayer lasted over twenty-five years. Once Cummings took Ayer to see the legendary stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. “You walk on tightropes as if they lay on the ground,” Cummings wrote in a birthday poem to Ayer, “and always, bird eyed, notice more than we notice you notice”.)
“All beautiful and noble qualities have been united in me… I shall be the fruit which will leave eternal vitality behind even after its decay. How great must be your joy, therefore, to have given birth to me.”
– Egon Schiele

“I am certainly not regenerating French art, but am struggling hard to accomplish something on an unlucky piece of paper which has done me no harm at all, and on which, believe me, I am doing nothing that is good….I hope things will improve eventually; as it is, I am pretty wretched.”
– Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
(Tomatos…the forgotten fruit.)
“I love tomatos and tomatos love me back!” 🙂

“Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.”
~Woman Pulling Up Her Stocking~
A nearly invisible cat jumped on my chest last night with the force of one hundred aliens
The paw, or the echo of a paw- awoke me from a dream of molasses, grave digging and grocery shopping
Another mans nightmare- shrouded in chromatic veils and unexpected spatial conundrums
Elusive, uneasy figures had gathered to assist in the shopping. I choose cheese, fruit and Fish
Everything moves around, but nothing changes. Everything except the cheese
