The sunshine trickles into a window
My eyes burn furiously
A sparrow makes a morning cup of tea
The flowers bend in the breeze.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Fan of Ezra Pound, MWH?
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness

Wrote this'un last night. Apologies for anyone offended by the language:


Why I f**king Do This

Mr Kenwood’s simulated tiger pantry is mainly here to distract you from the seventeen cavities and muffins of felt being ravaged by the cosmonauts, the hypocrites and the c**ting c**ting contra-realists of no fixed supposedly.

Licked out clotted gastropods.
Kicked out knotted flies.

Mrs Holiday’s undiluted pencil-bound fist cracker is entirely here to persuade you to quaff from the jar of pickled amnesia and spread your mind out like a wardrobe ambulance king being savaged by the communists, the dadaists and the c**ting c**ting contra-realists.

Kicked out clotted gastropods.
Licked out knotted flies.

B e a s t s  o f  f l e s h y  n o w h e r e  c l a w  i t  a n d  I  t i t t e r  s o b  t i t t e r  i m p l o d e  h e r r i n g  m o d e  s o r r y  h a l v i n g  a l l  t h e  p o s s i b i l i t i e s  b y  s t u f f i n g  a  l o n e l y  m o u s e .

I wrote this one for school. It was put in the school magazine so I guess it's alright.
 
THOUGH THE DARK, WE DANCE
 

WITH WET EYES,

HE DROPES A STONE INTO THE FADING LIGHT.

WHILE LETTING A TEAR FALL, FOR THE LONLEY CLEARING.

WHILE,WITH OUR EYES OF GRAY,

WE WATCH THE STONE SHATTER THE GLASS.

BUT TURN TO CLOSE UP AND WELCOME THE MIRRAGE.

AND THE FEW WITH THEIR THIRD EYE,

WILL LOOK UP PAST THE CLOUDS,

CATCH A FALLING STONE, SHARE A FALLING TEAR,

AND HIDE FROM ARMAGEDDON.

Routine

By Jen Williams

 

Going to one end back to the other

Going to one end back to the other

Going to one end back to the other

Too many lights on

Flip switch down

Did I do that right?

Flip switch up

Flip switch down

I think that is-I need to wash my hands

Go to bathroom and turn on hot water

Water lather rinse

Water lather rinse

Not enough soap

Water lather rinse

Water lather rinse

Dry hands

Dry sink

Fold towel

Unfold towel-looks wrong

Fold towel

Unfold towel-something looks wrong

Fold towel

Flip switch down

Dammit…

The birds are starting to fly

 

The birds are starting to fly

Going up to East

In search of time;

And it’s a freakshow out there.

 

The solstice of winter is just around the corner;

So the birds awoken very late

That they have to go.

Just like we’ll come to the conclusion

That we can’t leave, but must stay.

 

The birds will die

As the solstice of winter

Forgives never and not.

 

They, the birds, fly Easy

Cause West became cold and unappealing

They, the birds, fly backwards.

 

Clouds hide the storm, the danger, the rhythm.

 

Birds take the road

To perdition and waste,

Knowing before

What lies ahead

And where it all ends.

 

It ends right in the moment

When you gain hope;

For you must not have hope

Just the attitude of a soul

Knowing before

How much time’s left

And what happens

                              d’après.

 

The birds are the soul of disorientation;

They have the sky

But don’t know

How to use it.

 

Wind is humid

Memory is lost.

 

The one bird making it

Across the sea of lies

Gets a final wish.

 

And my wish is to know the truth.

Meaning that the East I reached

Is as bitter

As the West I left.

 

So I say: … … …

So I conclude.

 

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy


All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy


All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy


All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy


All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy


Around 10 AM…

 

…my sister gave birth

to a baby sparrow.

We named him (him?) Simon.

Nerves, like ivy grow
Strangling pumpkin vines and other gourds
In the garden of life, 
Preventing growth.

Eating Chinese in Bridgeton on Tuesday Nights

-Jen Williams

 

Steel wool

In your peanut chicken

Is not the kind of fiber

The doctor ordered

And the fifth cherry Pepsi

Did not kill the taste

Of bleach

Yet

It happened in such a manner that was unpredictable and disturbing, when my head exploded. An orgasm had occurred in my brain, a mental orgy within my nervous system. The force of a million suns socked with the chemical causing the senastion of love exploded. I fell on the ground, twitching in ecstacy. Was I going insane, or had I found god after all this relentless search? Then my head exploded, lobbing it off like a soviet missle headed towards another universe. I miracuoulsy maintained my nervous system, and I could see through the bloody mess a small infant emerged, entering our universe.

Oh well, I'm still alive.

Silence, solitude and sequencing

I


As you open the book, light gets revealed under the
most fake
impression that you can actually see it
there goes
the outdoor contact and the vital knowledge
from which,
in sleep,
you live to tell the story. One decreptive and
sometimes in colors that don't fit with what
you're wearing
and sometimes one that resembles a future
long passed and a wish
long killed. Desperate soldiers immortalize the
frame and clear out any suspicions, to come
in advantage. You can't read the signs
therefore
you ask someone else to give you the grave
detail. Nobody? Where is that joy of telling
your clueless thought? Go, and with that, don't
go. Comfort is a waste, the rich taste is a
benefic slough. Die and close
win
and stop wanting humanity's close
pestilential hope. Piano strings pinched, pitched,
patched. The more you know
the better you realize.

With big letters, lies written
"Drescalusa, Menecaduca, Isar"
By the melted face man.
The author hums the indescribable.

Stop at the flashlight signal and go hysterical
over the cause of waiting
doom's syllabified connection.
Up front, the rusty train;
down below, Eleusys.
God, the fearsome flaw, broke the spell
of can-made Babel-isle, making thralls
curios and imposing new definitions and
interpretations of the word, so simple,
can
each day
by each person
in a way just for that person
meant to be. Obliged, I can't communicate with
my girl, close spouse, future victim, about the
faceless demon that appears on the bedroom walls
saying
ka-boo.
I fear you, but not like that.
Let's watch it. Then we'll see what's to be done.

Enthusiastic.

The world is made out of fixed ideas and
improvised emotion, reaching a sensible
chord only when taken too seriously by
the persons without anything to complain
about. With a short, simple poem
you get what you want or do even more. Thus
in my celebrated poem I say
I don't live among humans
at which
comes a voice, a response saying offuscated
Don't be silly, you do live among humans
at which
I defend my idea
what idea, my belief! saying
No, I don't
at which, once more
Yes, you do!
at which
No, I don't!!
the poem struck gold being only considered
too frightening for the common taste.
Not everybody gets the miraculous gift of
comprehension. Not everybody loves another
of his own, like asked.

Open door
Enter room
Close curtains
Lie down
Stop breathing
You're safe.

I just know something wrong's going to happen,
but I get asked to keep my voice down,
in face
I get rudely advised to shut my mouth
and to drive safely
across the bridge whose end melts the
horizon. The thing I fear is that
somebody, anybody
will be there, living its life in a normal way,
at the bridge's end, up in that desert-town-
strangled-paw.
That can only, and for surely, mean that
I have to socialize and to accept that one
waiting entity. Bright clear...

The marche funebre tone is universal.

Staying
I develope qualities; so a dog shows up
and clearly says, moving lips, articularing sound:
hi, got bone?
AH!
