'How Not To Be Disgusted And Try To Be Amused'

how can I refuse
yet naturally I rut unpleasantly
at the thought of learning the difference between
'people' and 'humanity' Wilde style repetition
although I'd like see the abyss-grand-mal gap
be less defined
by this time I should trust my senses
when I smell rats or my skin crawls
something could be rotten

enigmatic pacing is a special skill
one eye one furrow one eye
and I sigh at one more failed resolution

"this year I want to be pleasantly surprised
instead of shocked into a stupor"

yet today My asalte plata de nube halo
is being worn tilted at windbags

I miss your writing. Gonna read them all even though you're not here, haha. This is so bitter-irony-stickafingerup-andmoveon. Love it.

I'm back after a year-long sabbatical. And the poetry in the cafe seems to have taken a turn for the worse. You, however, remain one of my favs. New York, honest, and beautifully gritty.

I love your stuff. Write more.

What a great piece. I really should stroll this way more often. If your halo is burning slightly askew, it's just the aforementioned windbags tilting the flame with hot air. lol Great stuff.

What's that last Spanish part? Dig the sensibility, groove, skittery rhythms like an artfully hand-held digicam.

"Enigmatic pacing is a special skill," great line. And the pragmatic "pleasantly surprised" preference to "shocked into a stupor."

Existential on the fly. Dig your playlist selection too. Cheerz!

straighten that thing out!

cool read yo

[William Usry]

awesome... "this year I want to be pleasantly surprised instead of shocked into a stupor" is my favorite line

[Logan Carryall]

Wind up windbags. You still can't disconnect the two? It does seem a paradox. Wait, so we got people, who suck, and humans who we must ally our own definitions with. Good to be on the winning team. I love this, and you certainly show your flair for understanding the introspect anglaise' "asalte plata de nube halo " beautiful timing and import. Wilde and wilder.
Great stuff-
But I had no doubt.

superb. you have a skewed way of phrasing and jerking around in your poetry...

it keeps the reader a little off balance in a good way.

sorry that you are facing such disappointments. "people" vs "humanity" indeed. i'm struggling with that myself.
