Poetry i am very new around here and would like some honest opinions on a recent piece of mine. i am also working on finding a place that does live readings. any help please send an email to the_thuudd_man@yahoo.com.




ALONE I...



alone i sit
in my anonyminity
alone i sit
in my honor


alone i wait
for the next lie
alone i wait
to be walked upon


alone i anticipate
the next bold aspersion
alone i anticipate
the impending doom of truth


alone i tire
of the blatant disregard
alone i tire
of the bold faced desecration

alone i walk
along my line of trust
alone i walk
casting a single shadow


now alone i run
away from pain
now alone i run
towards a light


and alone i sit
naked in my honesty
and alone i sit
waiting for another with honor






THUUDD

Turn and face the strange

Buffalo The actor and comedian Stephen Colbert, best known as the voice of Harvey Birdman's boss' voice on the hit TV cartoon "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law", hosted the White House Press Core Dinner, attended by Bush and others to blame, and teared the whole place a new asshole! He has the only pair of balls that can be seen from space. It was aired on CSPAN, and can be viewed here:

He's also the host of "The Colbert Report" weeknights on Comedy Central. Well done. We should all watch it every night, and keep track of his whereabouts -- and make sure he doesn't mysteriously disappear.

MOOSE!

Buffalo And in my dream, there was Kerouac. It ws some multi bed place where people would sleep, but also broadcast radio. Kerouac went on and there was my friend from work, Rich Michelle. He was pissed at Kerouac, who by now was finished on the radio and laying in bed. Rich was going on next, doing some show about scottish dragons. I was talking to Rich in another place in my dream, a mafia run store/pastry shop where an earlier part of my dream took place, and he was saying something about
"Who does that guy think he is? Blah Blah Blah. He thinks his shit don't stink, blah blah. I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind"...
Walks up to Kerouac's bed, and takes down a poster next to it of a grey field with a red and yellow stylized drawing of a medevil dragon head.
"You know Ed, you've got a lot of nerve, blah blah"
And Rich walks off to the broadcast room past the beds.
Kerouac doesn't really respond, just slumps back over into the sheets. I walk over toward kerouac, and tug on his shoulder sleeve,
"Did that guy just call you 'Ed'?"
Kerouac shrugs his shoulders sleepily, and turns back over. So I pull out a big black and white photo poster, that looks just like the bed he's in, just in the morning time, with light all around streaming in somehow. I try to put it up where the dragon poster was, but that doesnt go far. I don't know, it won't stay up, or I can't get to it. So I plan to pin it to the sheets on the front of the bed with a clothespin. As I'm doing it, Kerouac wakes up and catches me.
That's when I woke up.
No lucid dreams yet.

Poetry Well folks, I've been working on this piece for what's felt like forever and I am really happy to say that not only is it finally finished, but I was able to unveil it the very day I finished it: this past saturday at the Buffalo Readings (although I did tweek it very slightly since saturday). I had this concept floating in my brain since I road the train down from Seattle to Portland, OR to visit Dave back in September and have been really excited about it since it first rolled around in my brain. Since that time, this piece has grown to almost legendary status, probably because I'd had this uncharacteristically under wraps for so long - allowing only one friend a glimpse at what I was working on once.

Out of all my years of writing poetry, this is my first attempt at writing a long piece - I'm usually known for short pieces.

With no further adu, 6 months in the works & I'm really excited to finally have this finished to lay it out in front of you all.

I hope you enjoy.

Buffalo A plastic bottle made from corn. It supposed to biodegrade within 80 days. My question is how crazy do the microbes get from eating it?
