With an admittedly destructive intent—to
mock, pervert, & demolish all the tenets
of painting, music, poetry, philosophy, logic
and even reason itself and set up a pretended
madness instead, in protest against the insane
and vicious destruction of civilization, life,
and thought…during World War I.
and dying of “cheerfulness’
in the 20”s
(reappearing as “surrealism” in
have you noticed how “surreal” is an
adjective of description almost
as ubiquitous as “awesome”?)
Wm Rose Benet: Reader’s Encyclopedia)
My Bad
I am almost at the door, creepingly close to
coming out of the closet and confessing my
mis-anthropological addiction: a pox on all
houses: straw, wood, brick, makes no never
minding and the 3 little piggies within, all
the hairs on their chinny chin chins, me: BB
Wolf Wannabe. huffing & puffing to blow
houses down— eco-illogical,
Can’t confess this on Oprah or run for office
admitting my xenophobic, me-first family
values racism, illogical, irrationalistic bias
& prejudice, fearful anxiety, binging & purging
my self-indulgence to make known. Drag me
out of my closet, damaged & damaging,
hobble-de- hoy: no more denying or
cover up, damnit.
Game Changing
Come out Come out wherever I am: wounded
warrior limp & lame, suck-my-thumb rationalist
3-little-piggie logical positivist take-charge
feminist passive aggressive boy manual
dexterity: human all too humanly vulnerable
wounded inner child in touch with my feelings
& dropping off the veil, an apocalypse now and
again monstrous and true. .
I’m almost there.
Can’t quite turn
the other cheeky
door knob to come
out come out where
ever I am..
It makes common sense but it doesn’t make Good
Sense to try & make common sense out of nonsense
and no-sense- at-all & yet I do, make it all make my
common sense (non & no) reducing it, purging and
purifying, cleaning it up so it can be common, addicted
to common sense translating irrational and illogical
to rational logic unaware of the sacrifice and loss in
nailing it like they say on American Idol:
You just nailed it
that song
that performance
a consummation devoutly
to be desired: nail &
be nailed. No wiggling need
apply.
