my little point of view

 

 

 

I am vital,

cinematic, epigrammatic,

literary but

moribund.

The sequela

aftereffect of hurt

perhaps or the coming

and going of disease.

Let me warn you in

advance about getting old.

You think half the thoughts

you use to think, half of

the time, which would be

ok but you cant defend yourself

from it.Cant throw your hands

up fast enough or swat the fly

away that laid,

good, purposeful eggs

on your face.

 

One day I will love you from the

grave and who could ever think

that that could happen?

Burned like Frankenstein,

filled with sweet odors like Whitman,

toothless and gray as an

October morning,

but no less love. Dylan looked

at everything for at least an hour,

 

close,

 

and then made cardboard signs that he

flipped, gold earring style,

in the sun.

Signs that, looking back,

Ginsberg thought

was genius.

The Subterranean Homesick Blues cards? Ginsberg I'm sure appreciated the message being enhanced by the wtitten word blurbs. Political commentary, a collaboration between musical and poetic expression.

HOWL, now that let me know early on. that if I had a message I could say it. Get my point of view across, make my mark with a manifesto, a rant, or a politic statement.

I will be 54 next month and remember less and less. And so it goes...

I love your work

For me an opening tale of studied woe - a coming to terms with aging. But written in your fine style, there are thoughts of a sort of redemption in time future, having one's writing and actions inspire or heart.touch others - as did DT in Ginsburg's opinion. Guess every writer hopes his/her words will sing from the grave - if not before, of course.

A bit too stylistic for me, but hey, your intellect shines through. Good for you, you got it out there.
