Prompt: If any Ratonians feel like heading over the pass this evening to check out the Mutiny Trinidad Open Mic at 6PM, I'll probably be reading a poem or two. You should also read a poem or two. Or maybe play the ukulele. Or juggle chainsaws or something.
Prompt: Donald Trump is Trash. He's Dog Water.
Did you know that "POTUS" is an acronym? P.O.T.U.S. A long time ago, it apparently stood for "President of The United States." What does it stand for now, you might ask?
Piece Of Trash Unstable Sociopath. Or is it something else?
What do you think "P.O.T.U.S." stands for?
I'll tell you what he stands for: Not a god damned thing, other than his stunted, ignorant, juvenile, temper-tantrumming ego.
Prompt: Did you know that "POTUS" is an acronym?P.O.T.U.S. What does it stand for, you ask?
Piece Of Trash Ugly Shithead. Or is it something else?
What do you think "P.O.T.U.S." stands for?
I don't think he stands for a god damned thing, other than his own 8-year old screaming, crying ego.
Prompt: Last night I was watching a PBS documentary series about the Roosevelts. The particular episode focused on FDR's administration during the roughest of the Depression years. It slightly shames me to admit that I was not a very good student of history in my school daze, and there were so many amazing biographical tidbits about both FDR and Eleonor that really blew me away. Their generosity. Their passion for democracy and charity. Their immense compassion. Their mutual respect and desire for the admiration of the other, despite their relationship being very complicated. Was this real? It seemed more like myth, and certainly history can be mythologized. But to imagine a time when the first couple exemplified empathy, true strength, real leadership while eliciting true admiration from the masses was rather inspirational.
Prompt: Fact! Not all individuals who oppose fascism are democrats. Some of us are actually liberal progressives. So next time you respond to somebody calling out the fascist actions of the armed minions of the joyless orange one by saying "But what about Clinton/Obama/Biden," understand that we don't disagree with you.
Some people actually understand that despite the authoritarian immigration policies of every presidential administration, we are a nation founded on genocide and built on slavery that still doesn't recognize the invaluable contributions that immigrants have made to our culture and nation.
Put it different terms: Happy Labor Day!
Prompt: "The Trumpet Tears"
I fantasize
about
setting fire
to a fag-hating
flag,
waving
infanticide
My blind-dating
Yelp rating
has taken a dive
I can't even surmise
that clitoral sighs
Could exist
Behind the littlest lies
Of her literal thighs
I fantasize
I'm setting fire to
what you
symbolize
Red meat
White privilege
Blue blood and blue balls
Scars and Skypes forever
Cars and tripe, moreover
Mountains mined for treasure
Dead mimes in glass coffins
Move aside for
Clowns crying
Led paint
Lord, please:
accelerate our drying
increase our durability
maintain our fresh appearance and
help us resist moisture that
causes corrosion
Empathy's for wasting on lives lived
within boxes
Miming our entrapment until we are
truly sealed
Upon Goat Hill
I've climbed
In my mind's eye
if not my
mime's sigh
We will smile
little mouse and eye
as Shadows of Flames dance upon fatigued faces
announcing our Big Brass
VagEYEnas
Prompt: Well, I'm just another
Secular humanist
Bound for the fires
of hell
Like the sun burned the
Dubious
Plumage of Icarus
And you've heard just how hard he fell
That don't stop you from trying
If you're set on flying
You keep on Keep Awning
For Life
Yeah we're just those queer
Snowflake
Secular Humanists
Flying and fighting the fight

Prompt: Are there any purely instrumental bands (no vocals or lyrics) that you would consider to be punk bands? I know there are at least a few instrumental metal bands, but I feel like punk rock would be a lot harder to pull off without a frontperson...
Prompt: A sultry
Southern belle
in a sensuous
Summer smock
Offers a
plastic Shark Chalice
- brimming with blood -
and I'm consumed
by Her
Cavalier.
The glove compartment lays open
upon my lap, panting
Russian science friction
into the
damp heaviness.
Beyond the Elysian fields
A pup places
his pissy paws
Upon my panting lap
I'm told that
He eats
pens and panties
And peeps
into Alternate Dimensions of denim.
See you soon pup!
Now we revolve,
Sipping
Gin 'n eggs
And improvising
high
coups.
She waves a red fan
Clearing the smoke-filled air for
Act Two,
which shall unravel
Calliope-slow...
Mirror grotesques
and iron railings
will be unveiled
Ordered forcefully from the depths of dizzy Disney
memories.
We'll return to the Mississippi
Where the full
orange
Moon
- with cloud-shrouded mystery -
Shall command
of us, forcefully:
Look at Me! See!
Through technicolored 'splosions
Swirling
war-story glories
Beneath the stars
Above bumbling barges
Behold me! Be reborn!
Behind us,
A child will howl:
"This is the best Fourth of July ever!"
Above the brass whoops,
Vibrating animal hides, and
Frightened car alarms,
heat.
like
rises
Her laughter
Her eyes a pale blue
waterline
rippled with hints of semi aquatic
Wildness
Through us,
Screaming golden pillars of
White-hot light
Rise
from Earthen
roots
Up
to kiss her
Lunar boots.
Shadow of the hornless beast
Babble on,
Bobble-Head
Corpus Christi
Pez dispenser
Mary hath casteth thee
from Flowering Hands,
mellifluously
A malevolent miracle
Beneath the flood lights
Beaming upon
another Holy
facade.
She told me
I would dream
Of desperate-for-love
cake Baby
kings
Yet it's Seven a.m.
In New Orleans
and
Life is but a Dream
that mustn't
Prompt: There was actually one time when I was possessed for a year
So you were drinking Budweisers all through the night
I drank Gin Beams
That was like another shipment for your monsters
Laughing at my petrified parts
They pick off their pricks and they throw them like darts
Help, my ribcage has been opened
And this cut has been analytically designed
A great offer to fly your ears to a place
Where they will hear
Pure sounds
Give the kNot to the spiderface
And Sirens will answer the chirps of the Frogs
We all knew he had it coming, anyway
Well at least it wasn’t the frog who croaked
At least the mop didn’t kick the bucket
To pay my respects I kicked a field goal
To that old procession in the sky
Christ The Lord raised his hands: “It’s Good!”
Just then, Saint Peter blew the whistle
Whistleblowers are not whistling
They’re only blowing
A blow job doesn’t really involve a whole lot of blowing
A snow job doesn’t fall after a heavy snowing
If your child turns from gray to red while suffering from asthma
He may be a cop
If he fails to shed her skin every seven weeks
Change her plasma
If she circles three times like a lying dog
Give him a diorama
Of mud and sticks
And monks, for kicks
And kick off your pajamas!
And get up out of bed
To smack the smile off the face of yet another beautiful blue morning sky
I want an apple of that bite
At licking I deliver the spite
Of the decade now ending
Adjacent to many new kinds of spanking mental patients
Prompt: We should start a band together, thereby throwing a monkey wrench in the Longstanding Poetry Feud between Trinidad and Raton that I don't think actually exists and I just made up. Whaddya say? Here, so as to really commit to this idea, I'm going to plug this post into an A.I Art Generator and paste the results below. Did I mention that the songs our band performs will consist of "Covers" of songs that are A.I. generated by plugging in our Poetry, the song title, and some musical text prompts? See my blog for details. You can probably find it without a link. It's on Wordpress and is called IMa.Gi.BAND... Which does not mean that I aM in a G.I. BAND. Like a miliitary band. Our band will not be a military band. Based on the music A.I. has been generating on my behalf for the past 7 1/2 months, our band will make very diverse music, but it will probably skew towards Avant Garde Choral Swing Post-Punk House Music with a touch of Outsider Folk.
Then again, a band featuring Two Bipolar Poets (I'm assuming you are also bipolar since most poets are) might cause the earthquake that would collapse the Pass between Raton and Trinidad but I think we'll just have to take that chance...
Prompt: Disco insanity
I can't believe that
I killed him
Granted he
took a bulldozer
And started to doze
Before breaking
And smash sheeen!

toes
