mark weber - I love the blues
I love the blues
especially at night
you get that old blues guitar
and tear it up, just beat
hell out of it, turn it
every which way but loose,
just wreck the place, drink
all the whisky chase
all the white people off
yell & scream & hollar
holding on for dear life
yr eyeballs roll into the back of yr head
only the [...]...

mark weber | poem
you see the hip hop dudes
stutting in the crosswalk while you wait
for the light to change, their duckbill hat on
sideways, baggy pants, huge white tennis
shoes, talking (rapping?) on their cell phones
trying to act cool —
you can see they haven’t quite figured out, yet
how to look cool while on a cell phone
one arm raised like a [...]...

Some weeks ago I published an raindog poem called Eyes like Mingus and I found a great painting from Rigsby Smith to illustrate the posting and he contacted me today and I went again to his web site to learn more about him. And you should do the same! He is a sort of an [...]...

brian agro | procession of the ornaments
prozession der ornamente
ein protokoll

ornamente treten auf, von beiden seiten, beidhändig, in den farben kühlerer tonarten,
ornamente, gerade wie lineale, linien, kinderleichte striche, weich gezeichnete, in ernsthaftem kinderspiel,
ornamente wie ein konzentriert geöffneter mund, ein starrer blick, eine klar geführte hand,
ornamente heben ab, machen die runde, fallen auf sich zurück, geben sich den anschein von flugkörpern, eher teilchen [...]...

christoph gallio | mösiöblö| ample food
Like Robert Filliou’s 1965 massively small “epic” on something else press, AMPLE FOOD FOR STUPID THOUGHT from which it draws its inspiration, this cd is as short as it is long. Listening to it is like going back to school. The poems it contains are a witty, perverse primer on life. Not since the Lacy/Aebi [...]...
